Manchester City lodges appeal in ‘sham contracts’ case – what do the numbers tell us?

Manchester City was found guilty of over 100 charges spanning almost a decade after UAE vice president, Sheikh Mansour, took over the club.

An independent commission found that the football club used sham commercial arrangements to artificially inflate City’s cost by over £900 million.

The football club lodged an appeal, claiming the verdict “contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe.”
