Manchester City supporters remain unfazed despite the recent news suggesting a possible points deduction and the looming threat of relegation following Everton’s sanctions in the Premier League for breaching financial regulations. Everton received a confirmed 10-point deduction due to this breach. Meanwhile, City faces a hearing for 115 charges over similar issues.
According to The Times, both Manchester City and Chelsea could potentially face a deduction of 30 points or even automatic relegation from the Premier League if found guilty of breaching financial regulations. City specifically faces accusations of providing false financial information regarding revenue, sponsorships, and operating costs, with charges dating back to February.
Fans have taken to social media platforms to express their sentiments, with many appearing unconcerned about the potential severe consequences for the club. One fan criticized the “unjust” Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules and expressed indifference to the possibility of their club’s violation of these regulations.
