A report from the New York Times has suggested that Manchester City are fighting an investigation over financial control rules.

The report from Tariq Panja has suggested that "Manchester City are involved in a secret legal battle with the league over whether it complied with financial rules as it surged to become one of the sport’s dominant forces."
The report goes onto say:
City is challenging the Premier League in Britain’s civil courts, where hearings have been held behind closed doors, and where publication of material related to the case has been kept confidential despite intense public interest in the case. It is not known what action the Premier League would take if it found City to have breached its rules. Penalties in its rule book include points deductions and fines.
We'll have more on this and links to other stories on this issue when we have them.
Manchester City are of course on the cusp of one of the best season's in their history.
