A Premier League club executive revealed that Manchester City could face a significant points deduction if they are convicted of FFP regulation violations.
Regarding the financial issues, the independent disciplinary commission is scheduled to consider the 115 charges against the current Premier league champions in the coming next month and the decision in those cases is expected to be announced early next year.
Allegations and Potential Consequences
City has been accused of violating Premier League financial rules and some of them are as old as 15 years.
In case the club is found guilty, there are serious consequences in terms of point loses, fines or even demotion. Nevertheless, the official from Manchester City has always refuted the allegations and rejected the claims they have done wrongdoing.
Possible Outcomes and League Implications
In a report from The Athletic, a Premier League official has stated that City could face up to 80points deduction if found guilty.
This penalty could well guarantee that Manchester City drop down to the championship.
In a recent report from Sportsbuddy, current Premier League chief executive Richard Masters also stressed that it is necessary to solve the case as soon as possible, as the current state with prolonged trials only causes frustration and instability regarding the league.
