Can Manchester City's financial scandal shake the football powers?
In Manchester, the Premier League has confronted Manchester City with 115 breaches of its financial rules, a case that immediately attracted the attention of the football world and shook all of England. The allegations concern alleged breaches related to player wages and sponsorship money and could be the first major case of its kind in English football.
The possible sanctions range from fines to the revocation of the licence, which would mean that Manchester City would no longer be allowed to take part in the Champions League. The world watches the proceedings with anticipation.
Such a verdict would go far beyond England and would permanently alter the balance of power in European football.
