Summary

So Manchester City are Premier League champions for the fifth time in the past six years.

But off the pitch questions remain after over 100 Premier League charges - for allegedly breaching financial regulations - were brought against the club..

So is there an asterisk over City’s success until the charges are resolved either way? Or will the allegations just be forgotten about as more titles are collected and the long process drags on? 

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton and our Manchester City correspondent Sam Lee.
