29 Sep
Summary
- La Liga president Javier Tebas seeks the harshest Premier League penalty for City.
- City faces 115 charges, with chairman confident of innocence.
- Tebas calls for re-examination of a past CAS decision overturning a Uefa ban.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for Manchester City to receive the most stringent penalty available under Premier League rules, should they be found guilty of the 115 financial charges they face. Tebas emphasized that any sanction must serve as an example and address the prolonged period of non-compliance, which he described as a very serious matter.
This situation, Tebas believes, could mark a significant turning point for clean and sustainable football across Europe. He also called for a re-examination of the 2020 Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision that overturned Uefa's two-year ban on the club, arguing that Uefa was correct in its initial sanctions.
Former manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his sadness at the prospect of Premier League deception, stating that no penalty could fully repair the damage caused if rules were breached. Hull owner Acun Ilicali compared the alleged breaches to doping, labeling it "financial doping" if City are found guilty.
