Pep Guardiola’s side could reportedly face relegation to the Championship over alleged FFP breaches.
Man City could face relegation to the Championship over their 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial fair play rules, according to reports.
The Citizens remain in pole position to retain their title following a 4-0 win over Brighton on Thursday night, which would be their second since 115 charges were laid against them by the Premier League in February last year.
Richard Masters: The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future
Asked whether a second Man City success while the charges remained outstanding would damage European league football, Premier League CEO Richard Masters said earlier this week: “It’s not for the football authorities to start being selective about who they would like to win the league.
“The key point is that you’ve got that jeopardy until the final day. Who knows where we will be on May 19?”
Masters, speaking at the European Leagues general assembly, added: “Obviously we can’t comment on the case, the date has been set and the case will resolve itself at some point in the near future, and I cannot make any further comment on it.”
