Sancțiune istorică în fotbal: Manchester City, amenințată cu retrogradarea în liga a doua engleză • Newsweek România

Manchester City faces severe penalties, including a potential two-year suspension and relegation to the second tier of English football due to financial misconduct. The club has appealed the decision, but the English league intends to announce sanctions before the appeal verdict. Reports suggest that City could face significant point deductions, making it unlikely for them to avoid relegation. Additionally, UEFA may impose further sanctions, potentially excluding the club from competitions for up to ten years. The allegations include providing inaccurate financial information over a 14-year period, impacting their operational costs and sponsorship revenues.
