Unprecedented sanctions. Manchester City could end up in the Championship

The English Premier League has been rocked by rumors of a potentially unprecedented sanction against Manchester City.
Details: According to MatchDay Central, the club could be penalized with a 60-point deduction for systematic breaches of financial fair play regulations. Should such a punishment be enforced, the Citizens would plummet straight to the bottom of the table, which would effectively be a "death sentence" and guarantee their automatic relegation from the top flight.
This scenario has triggered utter chaos in the mathematical permutations across the league. Manchester City's sudden collapse unexpectedly throws a lifeline to underdogs like Tottenham, whose chances of Premier League survival would surge dramatically in such a situation.
At the same time, the top of the table could be completely reshuffled: the loss of points by a key rival would essentially clear the way for Arsenal, handing them a unique opportunity to claim the English title under extraordinarily dramatic circumstances.
Reminder: Manchester City defender John Stones will leave the club as a free agent.
