What I don't fully understand about the financial fair play rules is what would happen if they did indeed get relegated because of legal trouble and then the Manchester City sheikhs would be willing to continue paying all the players those high salaries, would that be allowed or would they break any financial fair play rules if they had to go down in the Championship? I wonder what the baseline is there to determine how much it is allowed to be paid in salaries to all the players.

They will not be able to pay those players from their own pocket, players salaries are paid from revenue generated and they are not going to generate anything near half of what they're currently generating. It's against FFP.

In addition, City could lose a lot of their income, i.e sponsorship, ticket sales and merchandise. It'd impacted the club's income.

In result, the bad financial might be forced them to sell their players as well. and this is also giving a bad image to the club.

It's gonna be a snowball effect to the club.

I'm not sure about that, especially as far as I know there has been no decision regarding the problem that befell Manchester City. As reported by several newspapers, if Man City is indeed threatened with severe punishment if all the accusations are proven true in court. not only will they not compete in the Premier League, but they can also be removed from the Champions League and the Club World Cup. on the other hand, the City camp claims they have strong evidence to support their club's innocence in this matter. if I'm not mistaken, what I've read, City is still a rich club and they even spend their own funds through their sponsors. btw, correct me if I'm wrong in this information. but what's interesting and at the same time makes me curious is Pep Guariola's statement, after extending his contract Pep said his loyalty even though the threat of sanctions continues to haunt the club. let's see what happens next, whether City will be subject to severe sanctions or vice versa. because, if City is subject to sanctions, the dynamics of the Premier League and even the Champions League will change.
