• Heavy sanctions possible if it finds serious allegations proven
Manchester City could face sanctions in the Premier League, potentially being docked points, for the same alleged financial fair play breaches that resulted in Uefa imposing a two-year ban from the Champions League and €30m fine.
The Premier League has been progressing with its own investigation into the club’s alleged falsification of its sponsorship revenues. That is understood to have involved some hearings at which City have been represented by lawyers. Neither the league nor the club has been prepared to comment on the investigation, but the new Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters, confirmed recently that it is continuing.
