Manchester City will be relegated from the Premier League if found guilty of FFP breach

According to the Premier League, champions Manchester City were charged with a whopping 115 charges by the league after breaching the league's financial rules over nine seasons.

Over the nine seasons, between 2009 and 2018, Manchester City were champions in three of those seasons.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has confirmed a date has been set for the hearing, but it hasn't yet become public knowledge.

Since Everton was deducted ten points and charged again with Nottingham Forest, there has been public pressure on the Premier League to tackle the issue with Manchester City.

According to skysports.com, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin insists UEFA was 'right' about Manchester City breaching Financial Fair Play rules.

"I don't want to speak about the case in England. But I trust that the decision of our independent body was correct. I didn't enter into this decision."

With the deduction of ten points for Everton on such a small account of breaching the rules, there is no question that Manchester City could be relegated if charged.

Speaking to talksport.com, former Manchester City financial advisor Stefan Borson said: "There can be no question that, if these charges are proven, this will end in at least relegation. There is the suggestion of conspiracy over, effectively, a ten-year period."

"If proven, this is super serious. Nobody would argue with that. City will say, I promise you, that this is an allegation of the most serious nature."

However, it would be a tremendously huge call for a court or tribunal to suggest that such a large amount of people have been dishonest.

A court or independent body wouldn't just be charging Manchester City. They would be going after potential senior members of foreign states, multiple executives, and third-party individuals.

Sky Sports reported that Manchester City allegedly did not provide accurate financial information and did not fully disclose the financial remunerations made to one of their managers over four years.

Manchester City has also been alleged to have not complied with the UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules over five years and alleged to have not complied with the Premier League during the investigation.

With the severity of the charges against the champions, could it be possible that Manchester City will be playing in the EFL Championship in the near future?
