Manchester City have been fined £2.09 million by the Premier League over breaches separate from their 115 charges for FFP.
Man City are already at odds with the Premier League over the club's 115 alleged breaches of financial rules.
The Blues, however, have been punished for a little-known rule, having broken it 22 times over a period of two seasons.

The club have been fined over £2 million for 22 breaches relating to kick-off delays after accepting the sanction confirmed in a statement by the league.
Further reports also revealed that late kick-offs include restarts following the 15-minute half-time interval in league matches.
The statement read: "The Premier League and Manchester City FC have entered into a sanction agreement after the club accepted it had breached Premier League Rule L.33 relating to kick-off and re-start obligations.
"The breaches relate to a number of Premier League matches during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.
"Rules relating to kick-offs and re-starts help ensure the organisation of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs. It also ensures the broadcast of all 380 League matches around the world is kept to schedule.
"As required by the Premier League Rules, the sanction agreement has been ratified by three members of the Independent Judicial Panel."
Man City added: "The club has apologised and reminded its players and management teams of their responsibilities."
The latest development between the Premier League and Man City comes after the defending English champions remain embroiled in a legal battle over alleged breaches of financial regulations.
