Chelsea hold out on decision regarding Manchester City exclusion vote

Chelsea have found themselves as the only Premier League club yet to decide on their stance regarding a potential vote to demote Manchester City.

Reports suggest that the West London club are seriously weighing up the option to abstain from the vote, while the other 17 top-flight teams are in unanimous agreement to push for the Man City exclusion from English football's elite.

Under Premier League regulations, such a radical decision requires a qualified majority—at least 15 club representatives must support it. Therefore, even if Chelsea decides to remain neutral or abstain, the necessary votes will easily be secured by the other clubs in the league.
