Manchester City are currently facing a ban from UEFA club competitions for the next two seasons after being found guilty of "serious breaches" of financial regulations.
City have appealed Uefa's decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the highest sport court, and will learn the result of that appeal on Monday.
Below is the timeline of events that resulted in City's ban:
2011/12 season: Financial fair play (FFP) is introduced in the Premier League as UEFA attempt to prevent professional football clubs from spending more than they earn and get into financial problems as a result.
Sponsorship - which is important in Man City's case - is a grey area of FFP.
Uefa rules explain it as: "If a club's owner injects money into the club through a sponsorship deal with a company to which he is related (if the sponsor accounts for more than 30 percent of the club's revenues), then UEFA's competent bodies will investigate and, if necessary, adapt the calculations of the break-even result for the sponsorship revenues to the level which is appropriate ('fair value') according to market prices."
Therefore, there is no definition of what exactly would breach the rules, meaning Uefa handle each breach on a case-by-case basis.
May 2014: Man City fined by Uefa for failing FFP rules. The Blues were handed a £49million fine - £32m of which was suspended - and could only name 21 players in their Champions League squad for the 2014/15 season. Eight other teams including Paris-Saint Germain were handed sanctions over failure to comply with the rules.
5 November, 2018: German publication Der Spiegel publish a series of leaks claiming Manchester City and their sponsors have deceived UEFA by manipulating contracts to comply with the FFP regulations.
They claimed City’s ownership company Abu Dhabi United Group channelled investment into the club in the guise of sponsorship deals with Abu Dhabi companies in order to meet the limit on losses. They believe that those deals were not as big as declared, and that owner Sheikh Mansour made up the shortfall.
Manchester City refused to comment.
7 March, 2019: Uefa begin their investigation into the claims made by Der Spiegel for potential breaches of FFP regulations. Manchester City released a statement welcoming the investigation into the "false accusations".
It read: "Manchester City welcomes the opening of a formal UEFA investigation as an opportunity to bring to an end the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of City emails.
"The accusation of financial irregularities are entirely false. The Club’s published accounts are full and complete and a matter of legal and regulatory record."
13 May, 2019: Man City hit back at Uefa leak in The New York Times over potential sanctions. A report in the United States newspaper claimed investigators looking into possible financial irregularities are pressing for the club to be banned from the Champions League for a minimum of one season.
City described the leaks as "extremely concerning" for the investigation.
16 May, 2019: Man City referred to Uefa's financial control body adjudicatory chamber following the conclusion of the investigation which concluded there was a case to answer.
6 June, 2019: Man City appeal to CAS over Uefa's decision to refer them to the financial watchdog.
15 November, 2019: Man City fail in their appeal to have investigation thrown out. CAS ruled that they cannot hear the appeal and the case is "inadmissible", due to the fact that all legal avenues haven't yet been pursued before taking the matter to the Swiss-based court.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Phil Foden has Man City request after specific lockdown work pays off

Phil Foden has enjoyed the changing role he has played for Manchester City this season as he becomes a more regular sight in the team .
The 20-year-old has had to wait for his opportunities under Pep Guardiola and when they have come lately they have been in a position many are not used to seeing him in .
Long hailed as the heir to David Silva , he has mostly been used this season on the wing .
City 's manager has expressed his keenness for having Foden close to the box , and that has been rewarded with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liverpool since the restart .
The England youth international was moved about in the Liverpool game but did not look out of place anywhere as the Blues thrashed the new champions with a brilliant display .
Rather than Foden being forced into a different position , he wants to keep moving roles as he continues his development to enable him to be as versatile as he can be - a quality craved by Guardiola .
`` I played in three different positions in that game , '' he told SkySports .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I enjoy playing anywhere .
`` It is good if you can play in as many positions as possible .
I can play in midfield as well as out wide .
I want to play in these different positions .
I want to be flexible . ''
Foden has been one of the standout players in a squad full of talent since the Premier League returned last month .
After a bright cameo against Arsenal off the bench , he scored the opening goal in the 5-0 demolition of Burnley - a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sean Dyche 's team have played since - and helped to run the game against a helpless Liverpool .
As Guardiola plans for crunch knockout games with Arsenal and Real Madrid , Foden could consider himself very unlucky to miss out on the starting XI .
The player admits that he was n't in the best form before football was suspended for three months , but spending that time working on certain aspects of his game has boosted him .
`` I am feeling really confident in front of goal , '' he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I feel like I am going to score .
I just enjoy scoring goals and that is what I always want to do in training .
`` I was in okay form before we broke up , if I am honest , but I have come back flying .
`` Through quarantine I tried to work on some things like one-on-ones and come back stronger .
I think I have had good start to the restart and I just want to keep the form going .
`` Everyone is getting game time so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Manchester United have given Daniel James a new role

The start of the 2019/20 season seems a long time ago now , but in the first few weeks of the longest campaign anyone can remember Daniel James was the star of the show for Manchester United .
James was the new signing who had captured attention with his electric start to life at Old Trafford and having only had one season of senior football in his career he was also the youngster being tipped to enter the stratosphere .
But it was always going to be a difficult ask for James to sustain the performance level which saw him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games for the club .
After all , while James is 22 , he does n't have the experience of most players that age .
He did n't make his Football League debut until he was a couple of months short of his 21st birthday and when United spent £15million to sign him from Swansea he had only year of professional football to his name .
So it was inevitable that at some point James ' feet would return to earth .
It had been an incredible 12 months , from looking like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to signing for Manchester United , via a bizarre January deadline day trip to Elland Road when a move to Leeds collapsed past the 11th hour .
That was always going to catch up with the speedy winger at some point .
Now , with the 2019/20 season underway for the second time , his status as the signing who has captured the attention and the youngster who is setting tongues wagging has been taken .
Bruno Fernandes ' remarkable impact since his £47million move from Sporting Lisbon in January has made him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the season has progressed James has had the least impact of United 's four permanent signings this season , although that was probably always to be expected , being the cheapest and the least experienced .
Now he 's also lost his place in the side to a player four years his junior whose performances have been sensational since the season restarted .
Mason Greenwood is one of European football 's hottest properties right now and his displays in James ' right-wing role have been magnificent .
He adds balance and another goal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ missing that , to a degree , with James on the right .
He 'd scored only one more goal since that fast start to his United career , in the 5-0 win at LASK Linz in March , and being right-footed he tended to stay wide rather than threatening the penalty box as Greenwood does .
Yet the squad role James has now is arguably the one he should always have had .
He was undroppable for most of this season because United had left themselves so short of options in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pressure and scrutiny on James that was unfair for a player still adapting to a mercurial rise in 12 months .
There was some hope that James would benefit from the enforced break this season , but he was disappointing on United 's first day of Project Restart and with Greenwood making an impact off the bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the 18-year-old has n't looked back since .
Since that Tottenham fixture James has played just 48 minutes of Premier League football in four late substitute appearances .
He has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his pace he might well be a useful threat coming off the bench in games , while starting when rotation is required .
That 's likely to be the situation this week .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged XI for four successive Premier League games but this week United face Southampton at Old Trafford tomorrow , Crystal Palace on Thursday at Selhurst Park and then an FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Sunday .
It 's a busy week that demands a degree of rotation .
United have been in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ League wins this week will see them edge closer to a top-four finish , but the clash with Frank Lampard 's Chelsea is undoubtedly the toughest assignment .
There wo n't be eight changes for that game , as there was for the FA Cup quarter-final at Norwich when United nearly paid the price for the excessive rotation .
So against Southampton or Palace James will almost certainly return .
It would be no surprise if he played in both games .
He 's role in the shadows recently will have kept him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has taken the spotlight and pressure off the £15million winger .
For that he will undoubtedly benefit and when his chance arrives this week , it would be no surprise if he took it .

Bruno Fernandes' remarkable impact since his £47million move from Sporting Lisbon in January has made him the newcomer of the year. As the season has progressed James has had the least impact of United's four permanent signings this season, although that was probably always to be expected, being the cheapest and the least experienced.
Now he's also lost his place in the side to a player four years his junior whose performances have been sensational since the season restarted. Mason Greenwood is one of European football's hottest properties right now and his displays in James' right-wing role have been magnificent. He adds balance and another goal threat to that attack.
United were missing that, to a degree, with James on the right. He'd scored only one more goal since that fast start to his United career, in the 5-0 win at LASK Linz in March, and being right-footed he tended to stay wide rather than threatening the penalty box as Greenwood does.
Yet the squad role James has now is arguably the one he should always have had. He was undroppable for most of this season because United had left themselves so short of options in the front three. That put a level of pressure and scrutiny on James that was unfair for a player still adapting to a mercurial rise in 12 months.
There was some hope that James would benefit from the enforced break this season, but he was disappointing on United's first day of Project Restart and with Greenwood making an impact off the bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the 18-year-old hasn't looked back since.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged XI for four successive Premier League games but this week United face Southampton at Old Trafford tomorrow, Crystal Palace on Thursday at Selhurst Park and then an FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Sunday. It's a busy week that demands a degree of rotation.
United have been in irresistible form of late and two Premier League wins this week will see them edge closer to a top-four finish, but the clash with Frank Lampard's Chelsea is undoubtedly the toughest assignment. There won't be eight changes for that game, as there was for the FA Cup quarter-final at Norwich when United nearly paid the price for the excessive rotation.
So against Southampton or Palace James will almost certainly return. It would be no surprise if he played in both games. He's role in the shadows recently will have kept him fresh and Greenwood's rise to prominence has taken the spotlight and pressure off the £15million winger.
For that he will undoubtedly benefit and when his chance arrives this week, it would be no surprise if he took it.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Man City find simple solution to problem with new Premier League rule

Manchester City have encountered a new challenge to their dominance since the restart of the Premier League .
The drinks breaks introduced for the sake of the players in the conditions and the circumstances are understandable , but have not helped certain teams and Pep Guardiola 's side are one .
Both of their defeats since June have been influenced by the extra pauses in play .
Chris Wilder 's criticism last week that it was splitting the game into quarters sparked a broadcaster to ask every manager they could about the novelty , and Guardiola 's response was telling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ invitation to get into the faces of players and bark as many instructions as he can over the course of the 90 minutes indicated that he would rather not see it continue next season , and you only have to look at their recent games to see why .
At Chelsea , the home team were rescued by the drinks break and returned after it rejuvenated , breaking free of City 's grasp and eliminating their momentum .
At Southampton , a similar story .
Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted after the game that his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a breather from the intense pressure they were put under for almost the majority of the match .
City 's game is based on pulling opponents all over the pitch and out of the position , draining their energy reserves and pouncing the second their concentration waivers .
Halving the time they are able to do this in is not a gamechanger that suits them .
All that stifling they build-up can be instantly evaporated by the shrill of a whistle and they have to start all over again .
Against Newcastle , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes .
The passing and the movement was sharp enough to be too good for Steve Bruce 's side and by the first drinks break at the Etihad the opposition players were arguing among themselves as they faced up to another 70 minutes while they were already effectively out of the game .

`` The problem we 've had this season is we 've created a lot of chances and last season and the season before them we 've finished them and buried games early on , '' said Sterling .

As they continue to improve , the drinks breaks should become even less of an issue .

Manchester City have encountered a new challenge to their dominance since the restart of the Premier League.
The drinks breaks introduced for the sake of the players in the conditions and the circumstances are understandable, but have not helped certain teams and Pep Guardiola's side are one. Both of their defeats since June have been influenced by the extra pauses in play.
Chris Wilder's criticism last week that it was splitting the game into quarters sparked a broadcaster to ask every manager they could about the novelty, and Guardiola's response was telling. A coach who normally needs no invitation to get into the faces of players and bark as many instructions as he can over the course of the 90 minutes indicated that he would rather not see it continue next season, and you only have to look at their recent games to see why.
At Chelsea, the home team were rescued by the drinks break and returned after it rejuvenated, breaking free of City's grasp and eliminating their momentum. At Southampton, a similar story.

Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted after the game that his team had used the breaks to have a breather from the intense pressure they were put under for almost the majority of the match.
City's game is based on pulling opponents all over the pitch and out of the position, draining their energy reserves and pouncing the second their concentration waivers.
Halving the time they are able to do this in is not a gamechanger that suits them. All that stifling they build-up can be instantly evaporated by the shrill of a whistle and they have to start all over again.
Against Newcastle, they found an easy way around this by scoring twice in the opening 20 minutes. The passing and the movement was sharp enough to be too good for Steve Bruce's side and by the first drinks break at the Etihad the opposition players were arguing among themselves as they faced up to another 70 minutes while they were already effectively out of the game.
At Brighton too, they struck just in the nick of time. A promising start had seen them pressure the home team but it was Raheem Sterling's decisive strike that saw the Blues take the lead and control of the game before the first drinks break.
"The problem we've had this season is we've created a lot of chances and last season and the season before them we've finished them and buried games early on," said Sterling. "This season we've haven't had that slight bit of luck but we're growing and we're doing the things right."
As they continue to improve, the drinks breaks should become even less of an issue.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Man United's decision on Mourinho is being vindicated by Pogba

Watching both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur since the Premier League resumed , it ’ s hard to argue the former weren ’ t right to part ways with Jose Mourinho .
Since the two teams met on June 19 , a 1-1 draw which kept United and Spurs four points apart , Solskjaer ’ s side have picked up a perfect 12 points from 12 while Mourinho ’ s Spurs have added just seven to their tally , making their already slim Champions League chances even slimmer .
It ’ s not just about the results , though : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also be seen in the way they have dealt with their respective club record signings , both of whom were on the bench that night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium .
There are similarities in how things have panned out for Paul Pogba and Tanguy Ndombele .
Both arrived at their current clubs with huge transfer fees and the requisite fanfare which tends to accompany that sort of outlay .
Both are undoubted talents , as shown by the sort of form they showed before joining United and Spurs respectively , and by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the running for them both before and after said moves were completed .
Both underwhelmed in the first half of this season , with Ndombele making 12 league starts between August and March and Pogba managing just five , prompting talk of exits .
Both have come in for criticism , on the grounds they seemingly didn ’ t see eye-to-eye with their respective managers , or were otherwise considered ‘ difficult ’ .
The difference between the pair relates to what has happened since the league got back underway in June , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this from the men in the dugouts .
Mourinho has been reluctant to use Ndombele , signed by his predecessor Mauricio Pochettino for more than £50million last summer , with reports in France suggesting the relationship between the pair had deteriorated .
While the manager that the player can turn things around , he hasn ’ t handed Ndombele a 90-minute runout in the league since December ’ s draw against Norwich City - the only time the Frenchman has played the full 90 under Mourinho .
Since the restart , he has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing 19 minutes against Sheffield United and 45 against Bournemouth , failing to make a decisive impact in either game .
Contrast this with Solskjaer ’ s use of Pogba , a player who the United boss showed his frustrations with earlier in the campaign .
A series of injuries , coupled with talk of a move away from Old Trafford , might have prompted Solskjaer to lose more patience with the World Cup winner and use him sparingly .
Instead , the United boss has welcomed Pogba back into the mix , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bench against Tottenham with starts in the next four games .
He has been rewarded for his faith , with Pogba notching an assist against Brighton , a goal against Aston Villa , and a series of impressive performances alongside Bruno Fernandes in the middle .
If the treatment of their respective clubs ’ prize assets wasn ’ t enough to convince fans that Solskjaer looks like a better option than Mourinho for this United , the two clubs ’ midweek displays only add to the feeling .
United might have needed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Aston Villa , but their return of 14 shots and six on target , along with 66.6 % possession , points to a dominant display away from home .
Mourinho ’ s Spurs also found themselves up against a bottom-three club , but things couldn ’ t be much more different : they registered just nine shots , none of them on target , and only a slight deflection off a hand stopped Bournemouth taking all three points instead of just one .
Spurs ’ last three league games have seen them register @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minutes , with their only goals coming from Everton defender Michael Keane putting through his own net and Harry Kane tapping in at Sheffield United when his team was 3-0 down .
While certain United fans might have had reservations about Solskjaer before his arrival as caretaker in December 2018 , and these concerns might have returned in the lowest points of the 2019/20 season , the form - and the renaissance of Pogba within that context - ought to have won a lot of them around .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Manchester United fan bet inheritance on Liverpool winning the league

He may be a Manchester United fan ... but he changed his allegiances when it came to betting his life inheritance .
Tony Ward put an eye-watering £55k bet on Liverpool to win the Premier League .
But while that seems like an obvious decision considering they were miles ahead of their opponents and won the 2019/2020 season with matches to spare , the 53-year-old actually made the brave decision back in October .
Tony , from Bradford , West Yorks , risked the double-figure sum which he received as part of his inheritance when his mum , Rose , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supporter of The Reds , he simply thought they looked a better bet than rivals Manchester City - and lumped on at 4/6 .
And after months of waiting after the coronavirus lockdown prevented Liverpool from picking up the title earlier on , the dad-of-three 's confidence finally paid off .
On June 25 , after lockdown was lifted , Tony secured a staggering payout of £91,666.66 .
`` I fancy a big holiday at some point .
The rest is for a rainy day , Tony said of his win .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win the title .
I picked them after a long , long debate .
`` It was a two-horse race between them and Manchester City , as far as I was concerned .
`` I 'm an armchair supporter , really - I 've actually been fan of Manchester United since I was a kid !
`` [ Mum ] would n't have minded what I did with the money - not at all .
She liked a flutter !
She liked the horses .
`` But I 'd give it all back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cherished her . ''
The United fan added that despite his luck , he 's going to stay away from the bookies for a while and has no plans to reinvest some of his winnings .
He said : `` I certainly have n't got any plans to put another bet on for that money again .
I wo n't dive in .
`` I do n't bet just £5 or £10 .
I wo n't just do it willy-nilly !
`` I 've always liked a flutter - especially when I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be good over the last few years .
`` I only bet when I really feel it .
I pretty much knew when I stuck the bet on that Liverpool were going to do it . ''
A spokesperson for Ladbrokes said : `` Liverpool won the Premier League with ease in the end and delivered the goods for our confident customer . ''
