Manchester City issues a statement reacting to the Premier League’s independent commission verdict over the club’s 115 charges. The club says it is “disappointed and surprised” by the decision.

The reports describe the club’s response as a reaction to the outcome of the case brought by the Premier League under its regulations. Different outlets frame the verdict as a major development (“bombshell” in one account), but they agree on the core point: City publicly disputes the result and highlights its disappointment.

While the available articles focus mainly on City’s position and wording, they do not provide new, detailed findings from the commission in the excerpts. Overall, the coverage centers on the club’s immediate reaction to the verdict rather than on the specific reasoning or next procedural steps.
