Potential Sanctions against Man City Could Range from Fines to Expulsion from the Premier League

Manchester City faces an uncertain future after an independent disciplinary commission found the club guilty of systematically breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade. The ruling, delivered after a case dating to 2018 and focusing mainly on 2009-18 financial dealings, leaves sanctions on the table including a fine, points deduction, or potentially expulsion from the Premier League. City says it is rejecting the verdict and promises an appeal, which must be filed within a process governed by the league handbook, involving a new three-person board. The Premier League says its possible penalties could range from reprimand to expulsion, though it aims to conclude the process quickly.
