Premier League clubs against City, demand exemplary punishment

2023-02-10 18:58:44, Sport CNA

The Manchester City case risks upsetting the future of the Premier League. The English club has been accused of carrying out shady operations on its balance sheets in breach of hundreds of rules, and league chiefs have met with representatives of 20 Premier League clubs to discuss the future.

Dissatisfaction with the actions of Manchester City dominates among the clubs and has engaged a large team of lawyers to defend themselves legally. Among the demands of the other 19 championship clubs are those for exemplary punishments, including relegation.

Their front is united, as it has not been for a long time against Manchester City, and if the illegal financial operations are confirmed, the joint demand may not be enough with relegation to the Championship, a category below, but it may be required that the Cityzens restart it from the inferior divisions.

The argument is subtle and concerns both the future and the credibility of the Premier League. For this reason, the leaders of the championship in the meeting with the representatives of the teams have spoken about the issue of City.

Although their opinions on Financial Fair Play have differed, the clubs have united against the ways used by Manchester City in a common wall, raising concerns about how Championship rules can be breached in this way without having consequence.

The concern is also about the image that the Premier League product has abroad, i.e. that of a clean championship, something that must be preserved. The predicted punishments are expected to be severe and exemplary, and there are those who call for the expulsion of Manchester City from all championships. In this case, under the current rules, City Group would have to restart from the bottom of the English football pyramid.
