Football finance expert Kieran Maguire shared his opinion on how many points Manchester City could be deducted if they are found guilty of financial misconduct.
Details: The current Premier League champions are defending themselves against 115 charges of violating financial regulations over a period since 2009. The most severe punishment, if found guilty, would be relegation. Point deductions and fines are also possible penalties.
Maguire believes that if all the charges are proven, the club could lose between 60 and 100 points. Impressive, isn’t it?
Reminder: The Premier League accuses the "Citizens" of providing inaccurate financial information, including details about player and manager salaries. The investigation began after the publication of Football Leaks documents by Der Spiegel in 2018, which claimed that the club used sponsors from the UAE to channel funds from the owners.
The hearing is set to begin on Monday and could last about two months, but the final verdict is not expected until spring 2025.
