“Per Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred several alleged violations of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club (Club) to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4,” reads a statement from the league.

“The Premier League and its member clubs do not influence over commissions. According to Premier League Rules W.19, W.20, and W.26, The Chair will choose the Commission members of the Premier League Judicial Panel in unbiased manner.
