Manchester City has 115 financial cases under scrutiny!
LONDON.- The sanction against Everton has unleashed a whirlwind of debates! The Premier League Commission has sparked widespread questioning over its ability to apply the same severity to Manchester City and Chelsea, teams facing similar financial cases and whose verdicts could be as shocking as the record 10-point deduction imposed on Everton.
How did a single Everton case trigger this drastic sporting sanction? Public uncertainty rises, especially considering that the Manchester City has 115 cases under scrutiny! The resounding question in the United Kingdom is clear: What will happen to these teams? Stefan Borson, a lawyer linked to City in legal matters, warns about the dangerous precedent that this decision could establish.
To me, 10 points for Everton seems harsh for a simple FFP infringement. But it reinforces that the sanctions against City (if proven) and now against Chelsea (if collected and admitted in unrecorded payments) could induce relegation.
One thing is certain, given the magnitude of this sporting sanction, Chelsea’s calculation [en mi opinión] that they could violate PL P&S [Beneficios y Sostenibilidad] and simply accepting a fine as a cost of doing business should be urgently and immediately reconsidered.
Sanctions against City (if proven) and now against Chelsea (if collected and admitted in unrecorded payments) could lead to relegation.
The January window can be interesting. Even in the best-case scenario, they can no longer rely on being able to convince an Independent Commission to accept their Covid and Sanctions allocations as exceptional adjustments (to the extent that was the plan).
Stefan Borson, Manchester City lawyer
“I think it will be much more serious for both Manchester City and Chelsea if their charges are proven. I mean Man City have received 115 charges, Everton only had one and Chelsea are still under investigation, so we don’t know the number.” of charges there. If you look at Manchester City, there are many more accusations, but they are much more serious. Therefore, Manchester City will have a real fear that they face possible relegation from the Premier League.”
