Man City facing expulsion threat over financial fair play violations. Manchester City could face severe sanctions, including expulsion from domestic and international competitions, if found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. The Premier League champions are accused of 115 separate violations, and the hearing into these allegations began on Monday.
City, who have denied the charges, claim to have a “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” to defend themselves. The case is expected to unfold over several months and could have far-reaching consequences for the club and the Premier League as a whole.
Reports suggest that if City is found guilty, they could be expelled from the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and possibly the Champions League and Club World Cup. Premier League rivals are pushing for harsh penalties, arguing that a simple points deduction would be insufficient given the scale of the alleged breaches.
There is even talk of a potential ban from the Premier League and Champions League, which would be an unprecedented move in modern football. The case has been labeled the ‘Trial of the Century,’ as its outcome could redefine the landscape of English and European football.
