Manchester City faces one of the most significant threats in its history due to multiple allegations of financial irregularities against the club. This process could have devastating consequences for the organization.

The most concerning sanction for the club's management and fans is the potential expulsion from competitions such as the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup, and even the Champions League, according to The Telegraph.

The trial, which began in London and is set to last for 10 weeks, has placed the club in a critical situation. Manchester City defends its innocence against charges ranging from 115 to 130 infractions. However, if found guilty, the punishment could extend far beyond simple financial penalties or point deductions.

Legal experts and football officials predict a significant sanction if irregularities are confirmed. In addition to sanctions in domestic competitions, the City could be excluded from international tournaments, which would be a devastating blow to the club and its sporting aspirations.

According to the regulations of the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, any club excluded from its league could also be removed from these competitions. This places Manchester City in an extremely vulnerable position as it awaits the final verdict, expected in early 2025.
