Game over for Manchester City As Manchester City appeal REJECTED as English FA slammed Pep Guardiola 115 count charges Facing BAN alert from PGMOL after breaking Financial Fair Play(FFP) 115 charges which is threatening the future of the Premier League Giants!. The Season is already over for them before it even started 😭
**What’s the Situation?**
Manchester City, reigning Premier League champions, are currently facing 115 accusations related to breaches of financial fair play (FFP) regulations.
Similar violations under the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have already led to point deductions for clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest.
**MacAnthony’s Opinion**
Darragh MacAnthony, the chairman of the EFL and owner of Peterborough United, voiced skepticism about Manchester City receiving severe punishments.
He drew a comparison to Juventus’ punishment in the 2006 Calciopoli scandal, where the Italian team lost a title. Speaking on TalkSPORT, MacAnthony said, “It’s hard to predict what will come of these charges. A deduction of two points per violation seems reasonable, but the idea of relegation or stripping titles doesn’t seem realistic to me. It’s not possible to rewrite history, unlike the situation in Italy.”
He also remarked that many clubs, including those in the Premier League, often try to navigate the rules carefully.
He added, “Man City might be an easy target for the media, but we should allow the legal process to take its course before jumping to conclusions.”
**Guardiola’s Future**
As Pep Guardiola enters the final year of his contract with Manchester City, speculation about his future has intensified.
MacAnthony commented, “I can’t speak for Pep, but after spending over six years at the club, he might need a break, similar to what Jurgen Klopp might feel. Coaching is exhausting, especially with the extra pressures from COVID. If I were in charge at City, I’d suggest Pep take a year off, let his assistant manage temporarily, and then come back refreshed.”
**Upcoming Matches**
Manchester City, having secured four Premier League titles in a row, are currently preparing for their upcoming season. They have scheduled pre-season games in the U.S. against AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea before beginning their title defense at Stamford Bridge on August 18.
