In accordance with the Premier League regulations, Manchester City can receive various sanctions ranging from a simple reprimand to exclusion from the championship, through the withdrawal of points and several of the championships it has obtained. This would happen if the independent commission that will investigate the club for possible violations of financial rules, since the 2009-2010 season, finds him guilty.

City can also receive economic fines, as happened in 2020, when UEFA sanctioned it with 30 million euros ($32.1 million), which were reduced to 10 million ($10.7 million) after the appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS, for its acronym in French. The commission can also prevent Manchester City from registering new players.
Manchester City, which could be relegated, ‘surprised’ by suspicions of foul play in the Premier League
But also, the current champion of England, in addition to being punished with any of the possible sanctions, could be left without his famous and successful coach, the Spanish Josep Guardiola.
The departure could materialize and the newspaper Brand, from Madrid, details it in a note published this Monday. “The news of the day. The Premier League accuses Manchester City of a series of irregularities in its financial accounts. The period studied by the English league runs from 2009 to 2018, coinciding with the arrival of the Qatari property of Sheikh Mansour to the Mancunian club. Pep Guardiola spoke of the investigation process, which has been open since 2018, last May (2022). ‘If they lie to me, I’ll leave’, assured the technician”, says the newspaper.
The former FC Barcelona coach has eleven titles with Manchester City, but will he continue on the bench for the multimillion-dollar entity? mentions Brand that nine months ago the 52-year-old Catalan “was confident of the innocence of his club, of whose financial process he claimed to participate or, at least, to be aware. ‘When there are suspicions or people accuse them of something, I approach them and ask them what it is about. And once they explain things to me and I understand them, I believe them’, Guardiola explained then (May 2022)”.
At the moment, the technician has not returned to pronounce on the subject. The club published an official statement on this day in which it claims to be “surprised by the demand, especially given the material provided to the Premier.” The text continued anticipating a unilateral review of the accusation and the possible claim “that means ending the matter once and for all.”
The alleged infringements by Manchester City would have occurred a hundred times. “The Premier’s statement states that the alleged infringements were committed in nine different seasons from September 2009-2010 to 2017-2018, and will now be referred to an independent commission. The rules would have been broken… more than 100 times!” Brand. (D)
