Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness suggested that potential Premier League “expulsion” could be “on the table” for Manchester City for the first time if they are found guilty of their 115 financial charges. The charges date back to 2009 and include more than 100 breaches of the competition’s financial fair play regulations.
If found guilty, Man City could face a points deduction or even expulsion from the competition. However, the club has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight their case. The timeline for the proceedings is uncertain, with some suggesting that it could last for several more years.
Despite the financial controversy, Man City had a successful season last year, winning the treble by claiming the Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Off the field, the club has also seen growth, recording record revenues last year.
The scrutiny on Man City has increased this season, especially as other clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest have faced points deductions for breaking FFP rules. Wyness referenced Nottingham Forest’s four-point deduction as an example, suggesting that expulsion could be a possibility for Man City.
Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke commented on the situation, highlighting the complexity of Man City’s charges compared to Everton and Nottingham Forest. He criticized the Premier League for not taking more decisive action against Man City despite the severity of the charges.
Ultimately, for the integrity of the game, decisions need to be made regarding Man City’s case. The ongoing investigation has put a spotlight on the club’s financial practices and has raised questions about fairness and integrity within the Premier League.
