🚨 LATEST: Manchester City could face a points deduction over their failure to cooperate with the Premier League investigation into their financial breaches. ⚠️
Dan Chapman, one of the UK’s leading sports lawyers, cannot see how the club can avoid a sporting sanction if the independent commission has taken a particularly serious view of the obstruction charges. The most significant element of the case could prove to be the charges relating to City’s failure to cooperate.
The commission has the ability to impose whatever sanction it sees fit, and Chapman believes the Premier League’s lawyers will be instructed to argue for a significant punishment. Sanctions have yet to be determined, and City are expected to appeal the verdict.
