The Premier League has confirmed that Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.

An independent Commission found that during that time period, the club arranged “sham contracts” with a number of its commercial partners, as well as “relying on sham agreements to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs”.

The statement also said that City were guilty of the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate.

Meanwhile, a City statement said the club was “both disappointed and surprised by the opinion of the Premier League Commission”.

“The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case,” the statement said.

The statement added that Manchester City FC will now pursue the appeal avenues open to it.

Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday 27th September and the police were called. A major incident was declared, and everyone in the small village of Whelford was evacuated.

RAF Fairford is a military airfield located in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. It is owned by the UK’s Ministry of Defence, but is operated on a day-to-day basis by the United States Air Force under an agreement between the UK and US.

Five men, all British nationals in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism offences, and they were later released on bail. A dual UK-Iranian national, aged 25, has also since been arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

BBC Reporter Steve Knibbs visited the usually quiet village in rural Gloucestershire to speak to its residents and find out more.
