A new report has brought Manchester City under scrutiny, accusing the club of a staggering 115 breaches related to their finances from 2009 to 2018. This accusation mirrors recent actions taken against Everton, who faced a 10-point deduction in the Premier League due to ongoing financial losses.

“Manchester City have been charged with breaking financial fair play rules over 100 times over a nine-year period,” the report stated.

Last week, Everton recorded a £44.7 million deficit for 2021/22, marking their fifth consecutive year of financial losses, prompting a 10-point deduction. However, despite similar accusations, Manchester City is yet to face any punishment. Follow your favourite Premier League team with attractive football betting odds from Nextbet.

Calls for action against Manchester City have intensified, with the Express conducting a poll that reveals strong sentiments toward penalties. A significant 41% of participants believe a points deduction would constitute a fair response to the charges. Surprisingly, 36% advocate for a more severe measure, suggesting the exclusion of Pep Guardiola’s side from the top tier of English football.

Interestingly, fewer than a quarter of respondents support the stripping of titles, despite Manchester City’s past successes. The Premier League has never rescinded a team’s trophy, with Everton only the third club to face point deductions, following Middlesbrough and Portsmouth.

The controversy doesn’t end there; Chelsea also faces allegations of breaching regulations, potentially drawing the attention of both the Premier League and UEFA.

Among the accusations leveled against Manchester City is the non-disclosure of payments made to a manager over a secretive four-year contract.

This isn’t the first instance of controversy for Manchester City. In 2020, UEFA imposed a two-season ban from European competition, a verdict that was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an appeal by the club.

The Premier League now faces mounting pressure to take decisive action against Manchester City, echoing recent penalties against Everton and amid ongoing accusations of financial impropriety in top-tier football clubs. Get the latest updates from the world of football only on Nextbet Sports.
