"If we take a look at precedence, we have had Everton and Nottingham Forest with six and four-point deductions for a single offence covering a three-year period. The accusations against Manchester City cover a nine-year period, so it is far bigger."
"The numbers involved, we are not certain about, but they are likely to be quite significant. I think you have to add a zero to what we've seen in terms of Forest and Everton, so somewhere between a 40 and 60-point deduction would be, on merit to be consistent with what we've seen with other decisions, would make a lot of logic."
"As Londono says, if they are given a 60-point deduction, City will plummet to the bottom of the Premier League table. They will be on just one point and their relegation to the Championship will be confirmed."
"It's been ridiculous already, the amount of time that it has taken to reach a verdict."
Manchester City has been charged with breaching Financial Fair Play rules on 115 occasions over a nine-year period. If found guilty, the club could face a significant points deduction, with estimates suggesting between 40 and 60 points. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire noted that previous cases resulted in smaller deductions for single offences, making the potential punishment for City more severe. Colombian journalist Cesar Augusto Londono claims a decision will be made before the season ends, which could lead to City's relegation. Former player Richard Dunne criticized the lengthy process of reaching a verdict.
