Reliability: 5
Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League with numerous violations of the rules of financial fair play.
The investigation of this case lasted 4 years. There were notable irregularities in financial reporting and income in nine seasons from 2009-10 to 2017-18.
Journalist Martyn Ziegler of The Times adds that points deduction is among the possible sanctions, if the violations are found proven.
Moreover, Manchester City could be kicked out of the Premier League in case all violations of Financial Fair Play rules, which the league has accused the club of, are proven, The Times understands.
Manchester City will have no right to appeal against sanctions that may be imposed from proving potential violations of the Financial Fair Play rules, Martyn Ziegler continues.
We are talking about an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Previously, the Sky Blues used this option to avoid punishment from UEFA � the union attempted to impose a ban on the club in the form of suspension from participation in European competitions back in 2020.
Nevertheless, a similar scenario is impossible to happen in the current situation due to the Premier League rules.
Manchester City press service has reacted by publishing an official statement regarding the allegations of financial fair play rules violation.
'Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.
The club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.

As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all," the message reads.
If City get expelled from the Premier League, a number of roster stars and Guardiola may switch clubs - primarily, we are talking about Haaland, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Bernardo, Ederson and others.
