Manchester City could face points deductions over several seasons if found guilty of financial rule breaches brought against the club by the English Premier League.
As reported by İdman.Biz, citing The Athletic, another potential form of punishment has emerged in connection with the case involving 114 alleged financial breaches.
According to the report, an unnamed former senior Premier League executive suggested in a private conversation that Manchester City could be docked between 20 and 25 points per season over a period of three to five years.
Such a sanction would mean the punishment could be spread across several seasons rather than imposed in a single campaign.
However, the scenario represents the view of a former Premier League executive and is not an officially announced punishment. The final outcome will depend on the findings in the case and any subsequent decisions by the relevant authorities.
Manchester City have consistently denied wrongdoing in the case.
