LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – A points deduction severe enough to guarantee relegation, along with a massive fine—these are the potential sanctions Manchester City could face following a guilty verdict from an independent Premier League commission regarding financial rule violations committed between 2009 and 2018.

Furthermore, the penalties could extend to the following season in the Championship (the English second tier), where the “Citizens”—currently leading the Premier League with 7 wins out of 7 under the management of Enzo Maresca—would begin with a points handicap, similar to the situation experienced by Juventus in Italy following the Calciopoli scandal.

According to the British tabloid—a report also cited by Marca—the intention is to “impose a severe punishment while simultaneously outlining a path that allows City to rebuild.” At the end of September, an independent commission found City guilty of 114 out of 115 charges brought by the Premier League concerning financial regulation breaches between 2009 and 2018.
