A financial expert has claimed that Manchester City will be relegated from the Premier League should the club be found guilty of their impending 115 Financial Fair Play charges
Manchester City would be demoted from the Premier League, according to a financial expert, if the team is found guilty of the 115 Financial Fair Play allegations that are pending. The Citizens’ hearing date has not yet been made public, despite mounting external pressure on the ruling class to advance the case City.
Earlier in the week, Everton and Nottingham Forest were accused of not adhering to the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) of the Premier League. The former team had already lost 10 points this season. Everyone is discussing the several allegations that are looming over Man City’s head as a result of this.
Since every case is unique, it will undoubtedly take a lot longer to prove 115 charges than significantly fewer charges. Over the past ten years, Man City has emerged as one of the most powerful teams in the world of football. Coach Pep Guardiola’s team achieved the ultimate goal in football when they won the FA Cup, Premier League, and Champions League in the 2022–2023 season.
In the event that the English champions are found guilty of their disproportionate charge sheet, what would happen next?

Financial advisor Stefan Borson gave some insight into what might happen if the team is found guilty in a conversation with talkSport. This situation, according to Borson, is “on a completely different level [to Everton and Nottingham Forest].”
Without a doubt, this will result in at least relegation if these charges are validated. There is a suspicion of a conspiracy that spanned roughly ten years.
It will be interesting to watch what happens to the club in regards to the manager and playing staff should the Citizens be removed from the top flight. Borson remarked, “If proven, this is super serious,” underscoring the gravity of the situation. That would not be disputed by anyone. I can assure you that this is a very serious claim made by City.”
Teams that have violated the Financial Fair Play rules have undoubtedly been targeted, with Man City’s case being the largest to date. The Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Masters, stated that a date has been set for City’s hearing but did not provide further details.
Borson clarified: “There are strict confidentiality clauses within the Premier League rules, so I assume that is what he had in mind when he said he can’t comment when it is.”
What comes ahead for Man City
Guardiola’s team is competing fiercely for the championship.

There is still work to be done on the pitch, even though the players and Guardiola have no control over what goes on off the pitch. After making it to the FA Cup Fourth Round and the Champions League knockout stages, City is still in the running to win all three of the titles they won during the previous season.
With just five points separating the top five teams in the division, the Premier League title battle is extremely close. When the champions were away at the Club World Cup in December, Guardiola’s team would have been ecstatic that all of their opponents gave up points.
Man City is still the clear favourite to win the trophy in May despite being just two points behind league leaders Liverpool. But how will these accolades be remembered in the future?
