Rival clubs feel relegating Manchester City to Championship would not be enough - AOL

Premier League clubs are urging for sanctions against Manchester City that would keep them out of the top flight beyond a single season. Executives at several clubs told The Guardian that a one-year points deduction—enough to relegate City to the Championship—would be too mild given an independent commission’s findings of more than 100 charges of financial rule breaches. The commission described a “disguised funding scheme” and “sham commercial deals” that inflated income by £900m from 2009 to 2018. City’s fate will be decided at a sanctions hearing after its appeal. Under new Premier League appeal timelines, a decision is expected by late January.
