German newspaper Bild reported the expectations of English journalist Ben Jacobs, who identified relegation to the fifth tier as the worst-case punishment. English broadcaster and website Talksport has also examined the possibility of Manchester City being excluded from the Premier League and all three divisions below it administered by the English Football League (EFL).

Such a decision would remove the club from professional English football altogether. Unlike in many other countries, the fourth tier of the English game remains fully professional, while the National League is the fifth-highest level of the English football league system.

Jacobs said: “As far as I know, the Premier League is seeking a substantial and unprecedented points deduction, and even relegation for Manchester City to the division below.”

He added: “I can also exclusively tell you that the English Football League is planning to consider the decision if Manchester City are expelled from the Premier League. As a show of solidarity, it is prepared to support the Premier League’s position and attempt to keep Manchester City out of the EFL as well.”

Jacobs concluded: “Therefore, there is a risk that, in the worst-case scenario, Manchester City will be completely excluded from professional football.”

The Premier League said the disciplinary commission had broad powers when deciding the appropriate punishment.

Its statement said: “The appointed commission has a wide margin of discretion regarding the sanctions it applies. The non-exhaustive list contained in the rules includes financial penalties, points deductions and other sporting sanctions.”

Manchester City have until 2 October to appeal the findings. The club has already responded to the Premier League statement and maintains that it is innocent.
