Manchester City is threatened with relegation to the fourth football rank in England, if the decision of the Premier League implies the direct exclusion of "citizens" from the richest league in the world.
The Premier League suspects City of 115 breaches of financial fair play between the 2009/2010 seasons. year and 2017/2018. years.
According to the daily "The Independent", some of the managers in the league expect points to be deducted from City, but there are also those with the opinion that the accusations are so serious that the "citizens" could be excluded.
The first epilogue implies relegation to the Championship, but according to the regulations, direct exclusion would mean a move to the lowest division.
Manchester City are preparing for a protracted battle, and the Premier League expects the process will not end before the end of two years. "Citizens" hired the best lawyer in the country, according to "The Lawyer", and it is David Panik.
If the case ends up in court, City will pay Panik an amount identical to the highest paid player, Kevin de Bruyne - £400.000 a week.
Panik is a member of the House of Lords of Great Britain, and in 2008 he received the title of Sir.
He is best known for the case in which he proved that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in 2019, illegally advised Queen Elizabeth II to suspend parliamentary decisions.
