Manchester City may face a strict punishment after a failed appeal for extensive breaches of Premier League financial rules. Among the possible sanctions is relegation to the second division, although under certain circumstances the club could still compete in the Champions League. isport.cz ↗
Some Premier League clubs have expressed concerns about possible political interference in the appeal proceedings. The reason is comments by Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, which, according to them, downplayed the verdict against Manchester City. The clubs were reportedly "stunned" by his statements and concerned about the possible influence of politicians on the entire process. BBC News ↗
The case concerns long-standing suspicions of breaches of the competition's financial rules. Manchester City has won several trophies in recent years, but in the event of a failed appeal, it could lose some of them. The scope of the possible punishment will depend on the decision in the appeal proceedings. Die Zeit ↗
Former England captain Gary Lineker said he wouldn't be surprised if the sanctions against the club went as far as relegation. "I wouldn't be surprised if it went that far," he said. sport.sk ↗
The development of the case could affect not only Manchester City's future participation in English competitions, but also the composition of European cups. Clubs are therefore watching the appeal with concern that the outcome could be an unusual combination of relegation and participation in the Champions League.
