Manchester City became a hot topic for discussion after UEFA found the club guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) guidelines. Man City were subsequently handed a fine of £25 million along with a two-year ban from European football. Man City released a statement denying claims of any wrongdoings. They stated that they would soon file an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Multiple reports in the UK suggested that Premier League started their own investigation after UEFA found Man City guilty of a financial breach. The reports mentioned that City are in danger of having their points from previous seasons deducted. This will result in them losing their Premier League title on 2014. 

However, a financial expert Mo Chatra took to Twitter to explain that the severity of punishment could be much higher. Chatra explained that Man City have inadvertently committed a criminal offence by falsifying their sponsorship details. Such a breach of law can result in severe ramifications for City, with one of the primary outcomes expected to be expulsion from the Premier League.
