Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 of the 115 financial charges brought by the Premier League.
In this emergency episode of the Talking City podcast, Alex James and Chief City Writer Simon Bajkowski break down the explosive 40-page verdict from the independent panel and the club's defiant response.
The discussion covers the Premier League's allegations that City disguised £830 million of equity from its owners as sponsorship revenue over nine years, misleading both the Premier League and UEFA.
Alex and Si also break down City's immediate plans to appeal, the timeline for the upcoming sanctions hearing, and what this seismic decision means for the club's future, players, and fans.
