The Premier League issued a statement a few days ago. After four years of investigation, it was found that Manchester City, which has won the Premier League title six times in the past, had violated financial regulations as many as 100 times between 2009 and 2018. information, failure to fully comply with the terms of the manager’s contract, failure to comply with UEFA’s financial fair play rules, and failure to fully cooperate with the Premier League’s investigation. Since the case has been investigated for many years and the time involved is extremely long, it is estimated that the independent committee will take a very long time to hear it, and there will be no results in the short term.
At the beginning of 2020, the European Football Association accused Manchester City of exaggerating sponsorship income from 2012 to 2016, seriously violating financial fair play regulations, and not cooperating with the investigation. Therefore, Manchester City was severely banned from participating in the European competition for two seasons and fined 30 million euros; later , Manchester City appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport and won. Not only did they “throw away” the suspension order, but the fine was also greatly reduced to 10 million euros. If so, this incident is finally settled with a fine. Of course, it is not a problem for Manchester City, which is a wealthy side. However, the Premier League is obviously prepared this time, and according to the official rules and regulations Section W.51.4, Manchester City has a chance Penalties include but are not limited to fines, point deduction, rematch, and even prohibition of player registration, expulsion from the league, etc.
In addition to fines, other penalties are sure to have a disastrous impact on the flourishing Manchester City:
Deduction of points – If the penalty is only implemented in the next season, with Manchester City’s team and the leadership of the team leader Godeo, even if 15 points are deducted, the fans still cannot deny the chance of “Blue Moon” to win the championship. After all, they have won the championship in the past 5 seasons Has dominated the Premier League 4 times. However, if the point deduction is carried out this season, I believe that Arsenal, who are currently leading the league table by 5 points and playing 1 game less, will have a chance to win the Premier League again after the 2003/04 season.
If the deduction is counted in the illegal season (that is, the period from 2009 to 2018), Manchester City has the opportunity to lose the three championships it won during the period (including the 2011/12, 2013/14 and 2017/18 seasons), Manchester United and Liverpool Then there is a chance to make up for it and win 2 championships and 1 championship respectively; and Gerratt, known as “Captain Fantastic”, will thus win the coveted Premier League championship, making up for the regret of losing the championship due to the “leg of the century” that year .
Prohibition of registered players – The situation may be similar to Chelsea’s two-season transfer ban imposed by FIFA in early 2019 for violating the rules on signing players under the age of 18; Players in their own youth training to cope with the frequent schedule. Although a pair of forwards Charante, Emalis, and midfielder Cotton are all young “playable” generation, but the main players in the formation such as Qiyun Dibney, Marles, Gendojan, Walker, etc. Already over 30 years old, if Manchester City needs to face a transfer ban, it will definitely seriously hinder the deployment of shift changes in the next few seasons, and the impact will be extremely far-reaching.
Expelled from the league/relegated – Manchester City’s main player is only Cotton who came from his own youth training and has a relatively deep affection for the club, while the rest of the players mostly aim to play in the Europa League and win various championships; it may be difficult to be like the Serie A powerhouse in 2006 Due to the “Telephone Gate incident”, many star players such as Dibialu, Baofang, and Chasgut are willing to relegate with the team. At that time, Manchester City’s separation will be inevitable; it is worth noting What is more interesting is that the team leader Godeo said during an interview last year that he has no doubts about the club, but if he proves that he has been deceived, he will definitely leave the team without saying a word.
As the winter transfer window closed at the end of last month, the independent committee’s trial will almost certainly not be completed in a short period of time. How the team leader Gordio can stabilize people’s hearts and cope with the rest of the season’s schedule will definitely be a test of effort. Perhaps, the Portuguese international Jian Xilu, who was loaned to the Bundesliga Bayern Munich (with a buyout clause) outside the winter transfer window, will be grateful for his temporary escape.
