'Bomb' from England, Manchester City and Chelsea risk relegation from the Premier League

The removal of 10 points by Everton has caused earthquakes in English football. The club from Liverpool was punished for the fact that it has not respected the rules of Financial Fair Play. But not only Everton, as Manchester City and Chelsea are also at risk due to FPF. The Times writes that the two big clubs could face the removal of 30 points. Or even worse: relegation from the Premier League!

A penalty that could be triggered if the allegations against Manchester City and Chelsea are proven by an independent regulatory commission.We recall that City was accused of more than 100 violations of financial rules at the beginning of this year. In addition to the old accusations against the champions of England and Europe. The same situation for Chelsea, with the London club that has faced FPF problems since the period when the Russian Abramovich was in the presidency. The alleged violations effectively cover a period from the 2009-10 season to the 2017-18 season. After Everton's punishment, Stefan Borson, one of the lawyers advising City, wrote in X: “This reinforces the fact that if confirmed, sanctions against City and now Chelsea could lead to their relegation. One thing is certain, given the scale of this sporting sanction, the idea of ​​a simple fine against Chelsea must be urgently and immediately reviewed." Manchester City was kicked out of the Champions League in 2020. The club was fined 30 million euros due to financial violations of Fair Play. However, the punishment was later lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the fine was reduced to 10 million euros. The motivation? It was then emphasized that "most of the alleged violations had not been established or were prescribed".
