Man City could face 'drastic' sanctions after reported guilty verdict: Ex-chairman

Former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein has stated that the club could face drastic sanctions if found guilty on all but one of 115 charges related to breaching Premier League financial rules. No official announcement has been made by the Premier League concerning the case, and there is no indication of potential punishment.

The Abu Dhabi-backed club has consistently denied the allegations, and it is understood that they will appeal the verdict should it be upheld. Bernstein emphasized that money is insufficient as a potential punishment and called for a swift appeal process to prevent the situation from dragging on for years and negatively impacting English football as a whole.
