Manchester City handed new shocking relegation threat as Liverpool watch on

There’s a significant chance that Manchester City may not emerge from their legal battle without repercussions, contrary to what Liverpool and other Premier League fans might anticipate.

If Manchester City is deemed guilty of financial misconduct and faces relegation due to the 130 charges regarding Financial Fair Play violations, it could lead to major changes within the team. Sami Mokbel from The Daily Mail reports that agents for the club’s top players are already exploring options to safeguard their clients in light of possible sanctions.

Mokbel noted that if the charges result in serious penalties, including relegation, the Premier League could revoke City’s top-flight status. This impending threat has prompted agents to ensure their players are ready for any outcome.

Should relegation occur, many players are likely to seek transfers, as playing in a lower division may not meet their career goals. Therefore, Manchester City players could indeed pursue new opportunities if relegation takes place. The loyalties of Manchester City would certainly be tested, given their history of winning England’s top division ten times. Enforced relegation would also pose significant challenges for the club’s financial structure regarding wages.

Top teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United would probably take advantage of the situation to recruit players from City if the club fails to effectively counter the charges.

Only time will tell if Pep Guardiola’s team has “irrefutable evidence” to prove their innocence in this matter.

Meanwhile, agents will plan strategies, and Manchester City’s players, alongside the rest of the Premier League, will be closely monitoring the situation.
