WHAT HAPPENED?

Robert Glancy KC, sports law specialist Mark Hovell and accountancy expert Steve Holt wrote that available punishments “range from a warning through to expulsion from the Premier League”.The trio went on to say: “Where a PSR breach is 'minor', then it will be for other Commissions to determine if any points deduction is necessary, appropriate or proportionate.“But if the breach is properly described as 'major' then it may be the case that even a very severe sanction such as expulsion is more appropriate.”

WHAT THE COMMISSION SAID

News of deductions for Everton and Forest has already led some commentators to suggest City could be hit hard if found guilty. Former Liverpool defender and television pundit Jamie Carragher has claimed the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-conference-boxing-legend-everton-fan-tony-bellew-premier-league-disgrace-punishing-forest-115-charges/blta58daffe7a99fae2#cs5eae48eac2541d03" target="_blank">Premier League champions could "end up in the National League North,"</a> while boxer and Everton fan Tony Bellew has called the current situation "a disgrace" and has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-city-end-up-national-league-north-jamie-carragher-reacts-news-everton-could-be-handed-12-point-deduction/bltadc53621a6dc3516" target="_blank">tipped the Cityzens to be relegated to the Conference</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted his club are innocent of the charges and has vowed to stay on even if the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pep-guardiola-pledge-man-city-115-premier-league-charges-everton-points-deduction/blt3fad42e2c085430a" target="_blank">club are sanctioned and relegated to League One</a>. It has been suggested that City may also be stripped of their trophies if found guilty, but the Manchester outfit are likely to add more silverware before their case is heard as they remain in contention for the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
