What titles Manchester City could lose over alleged Premier League financial rule breaches | OneFootball

Manchester City’s case has reached a decisive stage after years investigating alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018. According to Superdeporte, the process was formally opened in February 2023.

The period covers one of the club’s most successful eras. City won the Premier League in 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2017-18, the FA Cup in 2010-11, the League Cup in 2013-14, 2015-16 and 2017-18, and the Community Shield in 2012 and 2018.

A central question is whether any proven breaches could affect those honours, with the stripping of titles among the scenarios considered, though no final decision has been taken.

City have denied the allegations from the outset and maintained their defence. The club intends to appeal the verdict, so any decision at this stage would not be the end of the matter.

Potential sanctions vary, from a financial penalty to a substantial points deduction, and even relegation. In the most extreme scenario, expulsion from the Premier League has been raised.

The case remains open and the ultimate sanction, if any, is still awaited.
