Manchester City's alleged rule-breaking saga remains the largest disciplinary case the Premier League has ever seen, according to BBC News.
The outlet has charted how City's remarkable success on the pitch has run in parallel with the club's alleged financial wrongdoing off it, with 115 charges hanging over the reigning champions relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations spanning several seasons.
City have consistently denied any wrongdoing and insist they have a body of irrefutable evidence to support their defence, though the case's outcome remains unresolved. BBC News' piece traces the timeline of the club's rise under owner Sheikh Mansour alongside the accumulation of the charges, illustrating how the two threads have become inseparably linked in the story of modern Manchester City.
The scale and complexity of the case mean it continues to loom over the club regardless of results on the pitch, with no independent panel verdict yet delivered. Until that ruling arrives, City's trophies and the shadow of the charges will keep being told as one story.
