In English Football, the 'Scam of the Century' Has Been Uncovered

The regulator is currently considering punishment options. In particular, the team could be deducted up to 80 points, which would lead to relegation to a lower division. Experts also do not rule out huge fines and the stripping of the club's past titles, calling the incident the 'scam of the century.' The prosecution claims that the management of Manchester City submitted false financial reports from 2009 to 2018, concealed actual income from sponsors, and secretly paid players and coaches outside of official records. Additionally, the club refused to cooperate with the investigation for several years. Manchester City rejects the allegations, stating that they have honestly followed all procedures. The club is preparing to file an appeal.
