Manchester City, one of the Premier League's most successful clubs, is facing a severe crisis that could see them relegated to the Championship.
The club is under scrutiny for 115 alleged breaches of financial rules, and a 10-week hearing is scheduled to begin next month to address these allegations.
If found guilty, Manchester City could face a points deduction so substantial between 70 and 80 points that it would guarantee their relegation from the top tier of English football.
This drastic measure shows the seriousness of the charges and the potential consequences for the club.
An executive from another Premier League club commented on the situation, stating, “The collective view I’ve heard is that an appropriate sanction would have to be a points deduction so substantial we are talking here between 70 and 80 points that it guarantees City a season in the Championship.”
Despite the gravity of the situation, Manchester City has strongly denied any wrongdoing and is preparing to face an independent inquiry.
The club's stance highlights the contentious nature of the allegations and the high stakes involved.
