The Apl is preparing to submit its recommendations for sanctions against Manchester City to an independent commission, as reported by The Times.
Manchester City has already been found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges pertaining to financial rule breaches. An independent three-person commission will reach a final decision during hearings scheduled for the coming weeks. Possible sanctions include significant point deductions and even expulsion from the league.
The Apl could be looking at measures severe enough to render a relegation to the Championship almost inevitable for Manchester City. However, league officials are caught in a dilemma: demoting the club would tarnish the league's image with the potential loss of top stars like Erling Haaland. It's anticipated that Manchester City will appeal any verdict, meaning the legal proceedings may drag on.
