Manchester City are currently locked in a legal battle with the Premier League over FFP breaches between 2009 and 2018. And as things stand, they run the risk of facing severe punishment from the league following an investigation.
The misrepresentation of their revenue sources has led to this situation being brought about. They are also at fault for signing an underage player by paying millions to his agent in a triangular deal. Moreover, they also had a secret contract with former head coach Roberto Mancini when he was in charge, paying him more for a false position.
The possible punishments Manchester City could face for their FFP breach
In the Italian Serie A, Juventus faced a 15-point deduction for their wrongful accounting of transfer fees. Moreover, their entire board resigned upon these allegations being made and they have had to restructure the higher ups at the club.
If they are proven guilty, Manchester City could also be set for a significant points deduction. They could also be happy expelled from the Premier League, given that they have won the league several times between the time period of the investigation.
They could also be forced to replay league games, or stripped of their titles. Moreover they can also be suspended from the top flight which would result in a forfeit victory for the other team.
Like Chelsea a few years ago, they may also face a transfer embargo preventing them from registering any new players.
The club could also be asked to pay a heavy fine, or face any other punishment that the legal authorities see fit.
