According to the authoritative report of The Telegraph, once the numerical violation of financial fair play is confirmed, the club may be excluded not only from the Premier League, but also from the entire system of professional football in England.

Most experts previously predicted that the worst punishment for the City could be a deduction of a point or a demotion to the Championship. However, the regulations create an unsafe legal mess for the locals: the English Football League (EFL), which holds the Championship, League 1 and League 2, is not formally required to automatically include a club included in the Premier League..

If the EFL is willing to accept the scandalous club, Manchester City will have to enter the National League - the 5th division, which is their professional status. Apparently, the independent commission is immediately considering. The rumors are raging, and the final verdict, which could forever change the landscape of English football, is yet to come to light.

In the worst-case scenario, one of the world's largest clubs will be tempted to play against professional teams in stadiums that can accommodate thousands of spectators, which will become the largest.
