Manchester City release firm statement following FFP charges

Manchester City have broken their silence following FFP charges and allegations of breaching financial rules by the Premier League.

After a four-year investigation, the Sky Blues might be subject to a variety of sanctions, including point reductions or ejection from the division.

Shockwaves were sent through English football on Monday when the ruling was confirmed via a lengthy Premier League statement. . City are accused of breaking more than 100 financial laws between 2009–10 and the present, which might subject the Sky Blues to a number of fines.

Although it has been stated that officials are unlikely to contemplate retroactive measures, such as nullifying titles won years ago, points deductions, being stripped of titles, spending restrictions, transfer bans, and even relegation are all expected to be on the table.
