Manchester City have been found guilty of breaching the financial rules of the Premier League, the BBC has reported. The club could face sanctions as a result, with one potential penalty being expulsion from the Premier League.
The breaches relate to the 2009/10 and 2017/18 seasons, according to available information. This is a period of nearly a decade during which irregularities in the financial rules of the highest level of English football were identified.
The panel of experts considered the question of what sanctions Manchester City might face following this ruling. Among the potential outcomes identified is the expulsion of the club from the Premier League, which represents the most severe penalty that could be imposed.
The decision that the club is guilty on all counts opens the way for a discussion on specific measures. Sanctions could include a range of measures, but expulsion from the league is seen as the most drastic option being discussed.
Details on when the sanctions will be imposed and in what form are not provided in the available information. The BBC has reported on the decision and the potential consequences, while further developments in the situation are expected.
