Manchester City could face an even more difficult situation if they are removed from the Premier League, with reports suggesting the issue could also involve the English Football League (EFL) structure.
This comes as the case concerning Manchester City’s alleged financial regulation breaches continues. Various reports have claimed that City were found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges brought against them, although no final punishment has yet been decided.
According to the reports, one of the potential sanctions under Premier League rules could be the club’s expulsion from the league. However, no final decision on such a punishment has been announced so far.
If Manchester City were to be removed from the Premier League, the EFL could be required to consider the decision and determine what would happen to the club within the EFL league structure. The EFL has already indicated that it would review any proposals and their potential impact on its clubs before deciding on the next steps.
The situation being discussed, therefore, is the possibility of City being denied a place in the Premier League and potentially facing difficulties entering the EFL leagues. For now, this remains a possible outcome under the disciplinary process, not a confirmed decision.
Manchester City continue to maintain that the Premier League process is ongoing, with the club expected to appeal the decision.
