How much did Man City's rule breaking cost your team?
The potential impact of Manchester City's rule breaking runs deep, including missed Champions League qualification, relegation and Premier League prize money.
Manchester City's illegal actions have cost other top-flight clubs significantly, as detailed by BBC Sport. From 2009 to 2018, 35 teams competed in the English Premier League, all potentially impacted by City's shrouded funding scheme. This scheme inflated City's sponsorship income, leading to an estimated £799.5m in overall financial impact on the competition.
This figure includes £217.8m in missed Champions League prize money, as well as other losses such as relegation and Premier League prize money. Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino highlighted the deception, stating that no punishment could repair the damage done. The article does not attempt to calculate compensation for individual teams or predict future earnings, but rather focuses on the potential impact of City's actions on the overall competition.
