Manchester City’s on-field woes could be dwarfed by legal defeat in impending judgement

The Hindu  

Premier League champions Manchester City’s well-chronicled troubles on the field this season could pale into insignificance in the coming weeks if an independent commission rules that the club has breached multiple financial regulations. FILE PHOTO: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola looks dejected after West Ham United’s Niclas Fullkrug scores its first goal during a Premier League encounter. “They were relatively straightforward breaches of PSR within that three-year window and were dealt with in line with those circumstances, so I think trying to kind of multiply points deductions out for this one is completely futile.” Plumley thinks it is unlikely City would be stripped of any of the Premier League titles it won during the span of the allegations against it and says the potential for the saga to rumble on through an appeals process and thereby throw the end of the season into chaos is worrying. There are lots of other factors there you need to consider and it’s not as simple as giving it to the next placed team, it would throw up a whole range of permutations.” The Premier League is regarded as one of the best-run and most successful competitions in world sport and Manchester City, in many respects since Guardiola instilled his magical brand of football, have been a benchmark for excellence.
