BBC Sport has assessed the potential financial impact on other Premier League clubs of Manchester City's alleged rule breaking. City have been found guilty of inflating their sponsorship income by £830m, plus another £90m in expenses, which they deny and have appealed.
The analysis imagines a league without the money that Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi owners poured into the club after buying it in 2008. Since then, City have not finished outside the top four in the Premier League, and their sponsorship revenues eventually overtook those of Manchester United. The figures do not claim any team would definitely have avoided relegation or reached the Champions League, and they do not include future sponsor bonuses or player salary effects.
BBC Sport calculates that other clubs may have lost £844m in total. This includes £188.2m in Premier League placing money, £349.7m in relegation costs, £217.8m in missed Champions League prize money, and £88.3m linked to domestic cup competitions and the Europa League.
The same calculations show City earned £1.17bn in prize money across the period, with £812.3m from the Premier League, £363.4m from the Champions League, and smaller sums from cup wins. Former Tottenham Hotspur figures have described a "period of deception", and the analysis suggests Spurs alone could have missed out on about £120m.
