Check out who would get the Premier League title if Manchester City are stripped of their titles due to FFP breaches
From the 2009-10 season up through the 2017-18 season, Manchester City has been accused of up to 100 alleged violations of Financial Fair Play laws which is not good news for the club as there are several punishments that the Sky Blues can face.
If it is serious that Manchester City violated the Financial Fair Play Restrictions, they could lose their Premier League titles.
According to an unprecedented statement from the Premier League, the club has been accused of violating financial fair play rules dating back to the 2009-10 season and continuing through the 2017-18 campaign. More than 100 such violations are suspected against them.
Explained Who will be given Manchester City Premier League titles if club gets stripped of its title list as punishment
Manchester City may be assessed a severe point penalty or perhaps be expelled from the Premier League altogether. City won three Premier League championships during this time.
Before winning the trophy once more in 2014 and 2018, they earned their first championship in the top division in the 2011-12 season.
Embattled rivals Manchester United finished second to the sky blues in 2012 and 2018, while Liverpool was edged out of the title in 2014 by Manuel Pellegrini’s team.
Who will get the Premier League title if Manchester City gets expelled from the championship and their titles are stripped?
If City loses these championships, Liverpool and United won’t receive any honours in their place. In the wake of the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal, the Premier League refused to award the titles to the team in second, much as it did when Juventus’ Serie A championships from the seasons 2004–05 and 2005–06 were revoked.
The campaigns would instead be classified as having no winners at all. City has reacted to the Premier League’s statement outlining the potential rules violations.
The Citizens said they were “surprised” by the accusations and are adamant about contesting them.
City is currently five points down to Premier League table toppers Arsenal with 45 points while the Reds are 50. Manchester United are third in the table.
