00:00 If we look at Manchester City, the club has been accused, I think, potentially of some
00:05 more severe issues.
00:07 First of all, artificially inflating income.
00:11 Secondly, deliberately suppressing or giving costs out to third parties.
00:17 And thirdly, one of non-cooperation with the Premier League.
00:22 If those charges are upheld, then it would appear to be that Manchester City would be
00:30 accused of a deliberate misrepresentation of the club's finances, and therefore we could
00:36 be looking at a very severe sanction there.
00:39 It was noticeable if you read through the small print of the verdict, and again I've
00:44 only skim-read it, that ultimately it said that a breach of PSR is considered to be a
00:51 minor offence, despite the fact that it's resulted in points deductions for two clubs.
00:58 Manchester City's accusations, if upheld, and remember the club itself is very confident
01:04 of defending its position, could be deemed to be a major breach.
