Hey guys what do you think about the investigation been carried out on Manchester City about some of their financial misconducts, this misconducts does not only apply to one season but covers over 3 year.
If Manchester city is found guilty they would be facing the possibility of fine, getting point deduction or worst been stripped off their title.
Possible Man City sanctions:
- Points deduction(s)
- Expulsion from the league
- Trophies rescinded
- European ban
- Transfer ban
- Hefty fine(s)
The point deduction could be either 15 just like Juventus this season or 25 like Derby county last two season. And I heard they cant even appeal it in the court.
In addition to the sanctions you detailed above, Manchester City has the potential to be left by its coach Pep Guardiola. Manchester City have hired a reliable lawyer to face accusations of violating the Financial Rules, heavy sanctions await Manchester City if found guilty. Reporting from the Express, Manchester City is in danger of dropping four castes or playing on the National League stage or the fifth caste competition in England due to financial violations.
Not only its coach. Some players are ready for leaving manchester city if premier league will be a degrading city to the championship league. I think that haaland has been picking the wrong team. Pep itself feels disappointed with city caused by the latest case that happened with city. City has been even forcing pep to resign from his position.

This could turn into an interesting legal case I believe. Think about it, usually some players do have clauses implemented in their contracts that if something like this happens, they have the right to unilaterally cancel the contract and leave the club. I wonder though if all of those players have such clauses? But Manchester City also is a different kind of beast. Most clubs would probably have to sell most of their top starts when they get relegated to the second division. Since Manchester City is filthy rich, they might be able to buffer the problem quite a bit. The big problem is that I assume the financial fair play rules also apply to the Championship league? If that is the case the players would either voluntarily have to forego salary in order to help the club comply with the rules, or they would indeed have to leave the club.
Now my question is, do you guys really, really think that a club like Manchester City would be punished so hard that it could mean the end of this era? There is only one good reason that might indeed happen and that is because Juventus already got a severe punishment as well and if it turns out that Manchester City's behavior was even way worse, then that might be the end at least for a couple of years. It will be particularly hard to make a comeback when indeed the financial fair play rules are now enforced even harder.
