This can't be stopped! Premier League clubs launch attack on Man City
The pressure surrounding Manchester City is no longer confined to the commission room.
Details: According to The Times, Manchester City's Premier League rivals are waiting for the sanctions process to run its course, but discussions inside the football industry have already gone much further. Some clubs reportedly want the reigning league giants to be expelled from the Premier League following the independent commission's findings in the financial case.
For now, this remains industry talk rather than an official collective demand or a final decision. The sanctions hearing has yet to determine Manchester City's punishment, and the range of available measures is broad, including financial penalties, points deductions and, at the most severe end, expulsion from the competition.
Manchester City continue to contest the findings and have made clear that they intend to pursue the available appeal routes. The club argues that the commission's decision contains serious errors, while the Premier League process remains ongoing and the final sporting consequences have not yet been established.
It is worth noting that Manchester City currently sit top of the 2026/27 Premier League table after winning all five of their opening matches and collecting 15 points.
