There are concerns that Manchester City might face severe consequences such as losing points, which could result in them being relegated to a lower division in English football.
The club is under scrutiny for allegedly committing 115 financial rule violations.
A 10-week hearing is set to commence next month to address these allegations.
Despite denying any misconduct, Manchester City is gearing up to participate in an independent investigation.
According to The Times, a senior executive from another Premier League club mentioned, “It seems that a suitable punishment would need to be a significant points deduction—potentially as much as 70 to 80 points—thereby mandating Manchester City’s participation in the Championship for a season.”
