TalkSPORT presenter Alan Brazil claims two separate sources have told him Manchester City could face a 60-point deduction following the independent commission’s guilty verdict on financial regulation breaches.
The proposed sanction would be the largest in Premier League history and would effectively end City’s season, though Brazil acknowledged the club could lodge an appeal—which they have already done. He stressed the timing would be crucial, suggesting it may not take effect this season.
Fellow pundit Ally McCoist said the 60-point deduction would not be enough and predicted clubs would demand stronger punishment. Other reports have suggested clubs expect City to drop divisions if the appeal fails, with debate also centring on relegation, fines and expulsion.
City lodged a comprehensive appeal on 1 October, insisting the commission’s opinion contains “clear material errors” and maintaining their innocence.
