What happened. Manchester City were found guilty of the majority of the 115 charges for breaching Premier League financial rules. An independent panel has yet to hold the sanction hearing that will decide any punishment.

• BBC Sport understands the Premier League and its clubs have little appetite to strip past titles.
• A points deduction, huge fine or even expulsion are seen as more likely outcomes.
• The decision rests with an independent panel, so stripping titles cannot be completely ruled out.

“I think we still have a chance to win that league… and then they have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal.”

— Jose Mourinho

The independent panel's sanction hearing will determine City's punishment, with the verdict still to come.
