Man City faces one of the ugliest periods in its recent history, with and on and off the field.
Currently sitting in fifth place in the Premier League, the ruling champions are behind their usual high standards. Their Champions League campaign also ended too early, making their difficulties on the field.
However, their biggest battle may not be on the ground, but in the courtroom, because the club remains under intense legal supervision from the Premier League due to alleged financial violations.
The city is under investigation due to 115 alleged violations of financial regulations, which extend from 2009 to 2018. The case has now entered into a decisive phase, and reports suggest that its outcome could have far -reaching consequences, not only for the city, but also for the entire league.
According to And paperIf it is found that the city has committed one or more of the most serious violations for which they were charged, the rest of the Premier League clubs could be left to decide on the future of Man City in the Premier League.
The vote from at least 15 clubs should be expelled from the league, in the report that it remains unclear whether the independent commission of the authority has to impose such a drastic sentence.
On the other hand, if the city manages to clean up all charges, there are concerns for potential consequences.
The Independent Commission concluded a hearing in December 2024, and the verdict is expected soon. If they are found guilty, possible penalties may include fines, deduction points, title removal or even relegation.
Despite its uncertainty, manager Pep Guardiola convinced the fans of his dedication to the club, regardless of the decision. With a verdict that is said to be “direct”, the outcome could have lasting consequences for both the Man City and the Premier League as a whole.
The Premier League champions seem to be able to take a break because their supposedly shady financial practices over the years begin to become a serious problem for them.
Not just a premier league that go after the city, but La Liga chief recently also filed a formal appeal With the European Commission, accusing the side of Pep Guardiola of violating the EU competition laws and calls for the club’s sanctions.
In addition, City recently joined the legal battle against the Premier League due to the rules of associated party transactions (APT) – the case that they eventually won.
Further controversy came after the Real Valladolid Spanish Club accused the city of illegally approaching the young defender, Júsuf Demir and threatening legal procedure in response.
With more legal disputes, the future of Manchester City remains uncertain. While they are waiting for the verdict of their financial case, the club must also embark on constant legal challenges that could form their long -term standing and in English and European football.
