Several Premier League clubs are advocating for both retrospective and future sanctions against Manchester City for violating financial regulations between 2009 and 2018. An independent commission has already declared City guilty of the breaches, and the club has filed an appeal against the verdict. If the appeal fails, there is a prevailing consensus among clubs that penalties should not only address past violations but also restrict City's future capacity. Some executives propose significant measures such as points deductions over multiple seasons and transfer bans to effectively limit City's comeback potential in the league.
