Manchester City will face severe consequences if found guilty of violating English Premier League financial rules.
Note that Manchester City are accused of 115 breaches of Premier League financial rules, with alleged financial impropriety spanning nine years from 2009.
The charges include failure to provide accurate financial information and details for player and manager payments.
The investigation was initiated after German outlet Der Spiegel published Football Leaks documents in 2018, accusing City of channeling money from the club’s owners through sponsors in the United Arab Emirates.
Previously, it was speculated that the harshest penalty would be relegation, but according to reports from The Telegraph, the club could potentially be expelled from all competitions they participate in, not just the Premier League.
Moreover, their participation in the FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, and even the upcoming Club World Cup could be in jeopardy if they are found guilty of rule breaches.
Note that Manchester City have since denied any wrongdoing and are defending their case at an independent inquiry.
The potential consequences could have a significant impact on the club’s future in domestic and international competitions, as they aim to maintain their successful record in the Premier League and pursue further success in the Champions League.
