2009 to 2018: cut-off line of the case

Between 2009 and 2018, Manchester City has built a winning cycle, and is now at the center of a financial lawsuit in the English league.

In that interval, the club has won three titles out of Premier League , one FA Cup, three League Cups and two Super Cups.

The most drastic sanction cited by the context is Premier League 's expulsion. It appears as one of the risks facing the club, depending on the assessment of the league's independent commission.

Friday: cited verdict, but no official announcement

The news circulated on Friday, but the independent commission of Premier League , which judged the case, has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.

The coverage also reproduces Gringolandia's question: Will Enzo Maresca be an immediate success at Manchester City?

What the regulation allows: from fine to expulsion

Under the Premier League rule, possible penalties range from fines to forfeiture of Championship points, suspensions and even expulsion from the league.

The regulation does not explicitly speak about the withdrawal of securities won, but there is a sub-clause which makes it clear that there can be a combination of sanctions or the application of "any other penalty deemed appropriate".

In addition, the points deduction could be applied at the time of the decision or retroactively which creates a possibility that City will lose trophies.

Previously at Everton, Forest and Leicester.

No other club has been accused in the past of as many financial violations as City now, yet there are precedents tied to profitability and sustainability rules.

Everton, for example, was punished with the loss of 10 points but this deduction decreased to six after an appeal by the club.

Field and table: result quoted in the cover

In the goal and in the table, coverage mentions Manchester City 5 x 3 Sunderland, for best moments of 5th matchday English Championship 2026/27.

The record, with five goals from City and three from Sunderland, keeps the team in the spotlight for the season while fans also follow the debate over the club's coaching staff and the question involving Enzo Maresca.

Current phase: what is at stake now

Manchester City are currently awaiting the official statement of the Premier League independent commission, from which the club can receive one or more sanctions: fine, loss of points, suspension or expulsion.
