Relegation threat? Man City told Premier League have ‘no interest’ in demoting them despite 115-charge FFP case hanging over record-setting champions

Premier League

Tottenham

<p>A case that took over 18 months to be heard – with allegations of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-settle-penalty-115-charge-ffp-case-rivals-punishments-premier-league-champions-saga-drag-years/bltf48404758b35df18" target="_blank">supposed financial mismanagement first being revealed</a> in February 2023 - is in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-fans-brace-bombshell-moments-115-charge-ffp-case-expert-warning-potential-leaks/blt0ff0eb66d808a5e0" target="_blank">process of being worked through</a>. City are waiting to discover their fate, with a ruling expected to be delivered by the end of the calendar year.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There has been talk of the record-setting champions of England – who have captured a top-flight crown in each of the last four seasons – being hit with the harshest of punishments. That could see them <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/out-league-season-or-two-man-city-brave-call-premier-league-expulsion-punishment-115-charge-ffp-case/blt8bb0e276e999bac1" target="_blank">expelled from the Premier League</a>, or the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-catastrophic-ban-all-competitions-guilty-ffp-breaches-english-football-thrown-into-chaos/blt3bd75759a2b6683a" target="_blank">EFL as a whole</a>, while there has also been talk of points deductions and transfer embargoes.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Former City midfielder Dietmar Hamann <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-relegation-ffp-threats-nonsense-efl-chairman-explains-serie-a-giants-juventus115-charges/blt5d4ae3c5c3f89728" target="_blank">cannot see Pep Guardiola’s being stripped of their top-flight status</a>, telling <a href="https://www.flashscore.co.uk/ " target="_blank"><em>Flashscore</em></a> of a long-running saga: “The Premier League will have no interest in making Manchester City leave the league, you have to wait and see with these court cases. There has to be a level playing field, the football leagues are about competition, and you need more than three or four teams to be able to win the league. I'm not sure what will happen to Manchester City if they are found guilty of the 115 charges, but the rules need to be listened to so every club can have a chance of success.” </p>

WHAT HAMANN SAID

<p>City have been able to avoid seeing their FFP case become a distraction, with results still being picked up on the field. They currently sit second in the Premier League table, one point behind Liverpool, and will return to domestic action at home to struggling Southampton on Saturday.</p>
