Removal of points for financial non-compliance: which teams could be relegated
According to the English newspaper Guardianthe removal of points for financial non-compliance would not have a single victim: The possibility of a punishment now rests on Manchester City and Chelsea, two of the most powerful teams in the world and with a significant flow of transactions and investments in recent years. It is “possible that an earthquake of much greater magnitude is coming,” they say from the English press.
Manchester City, last champion of the Champions League, has been under investigation since February for having more than 100 violations in recent seasons, while the Chelsea, team that has the Argentine Enzo Fernandez as the main figure, he is looked at closely for financial irregularities committed between 2012 and 2019.
Sports lawyer Catherine Forshaw, speaking with The Guardian, He noted that “if you are a lawyer for these clubs, after this verdict you will be more nervous. There is already a precedent. And compared to Chelsea and Manchester City, Everton are likely to be at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of severity. So I think relegation is not ruled out.”
