The Premier League could 'throw' to two of the members of the famous 'Big Six' for breaking the Fair Play Financial. As it advances the newspaper 'The Sun', so much the Manchester City like Chelsea have been warned of the consequences that can have the investigation that carries out an independent commission of the FA (English federation). In principle, it expects that the trial culminate in autumn of 2024, that is to say, between October and November.
The past year, Everton and Nottingham Forest suffered deductions of 10 and 4 points, respectively, although to the 'toffees' only discounted him 6 units after appealing. Instead, the sanction to 'blues' and 'cityzens' can be much harder, since the infringements to the Fair Play would be much graver. Chelsea already was in the eye of the hurricane in the summer of 2023, paying a fine of 5.6 million pounds by bad financial behaviours committed during the stage of Roman Abramovich like owner.
The Premier promises an exemplary sanction
By his part, the City also has activated all his legal machinery from February of 2023 by a total of 115 indictments formulated that the managerial 'sky blue' denies in his whole. The investigation to both clubs has followed since and the final failure has to produce in November with a sanction that promises to be exemplary if it checks the culpability of the institutions.
In this regard, Pep Guardiola was very clear in his moment when ratifying that, for the moment, there is not any indictment checked against the club. "For the moment, we are innocent. If we have done something badly, will be sanctioned. But we can defend us and this are doing", said the Catalan trainer in November. Besides, it left clear that, in the worst of the cases, would remain to direct in the League One (second division), since has agreement until June of 2025.
