Manchester City could face an unprecedented punishment of up to 100 points deduction if found guilty of multiple financial rule breaches in the Premier League. The verdict, expected in early 2025, stems from charges concerning a nine-year period and involves allegations of financial impropriety.
A financial expert has revealed the massive punishment Manchester City could be facing if they are found guilty of multiple breaches of Premier League financial rules. A date for the verdict has not been confirmed but the outcome, decided by a three-man panel, is expected to be announced in the early part of 2025. The charges primarily relate to a nine-year period from 2009 to 2018, and is likely to result in a massive, unprecedented punishment if they are found guilty.
The possibility of a huge fine, a points deduction or even relegation exists. But financial expert Kieran Maguire has shed new light on the situation. Maguire explained what City are being accused of and believes, if found guilty, the Blues could be deducted as many as 100 points given recent punishments handed down to other clubs. Maguire said: 'It's not 115. Has money come in from the owners which they pretend to be from the sponsors? If that is the case, then that is fraud. That is about as serious as it gets. 'And, if found guilty of those charges, then the book will be thrown at Manchester City and it's going to be a massive points deduction. 'You can't relegate them because the Premier League and the EFL are independent bodies, so the EFL doesn't have to accept them. Given the Everton and the Forest points deductions, they were both described by the commission of being 'minor breaches'. Well, what Manchester City are being accused of is major breaches over a 9-10 year period. 'So, you would be looking at somewhere between 60 and 100 points if you go through on a charge by charge basis. So, it would relegate them. The paying people off-book, it happens in football. I know a number of players and ex-players who are working for the owners' company and also on a wage at the club. We've got history of players' mothers being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to be an academy scout in order for the player to have a slightly better deal and so on
