IMAGOWHAT HAPPENED?
Manchester City have begun the battle against their 115 charges of alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules, with certain charges ranging back over a decade ago. As such, a number of key officials and publications have suggested that Pep Guardiola’s side could face relegation if found guilty.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Daily Mail has now reported that Manchester City’s players’ agents are keeping their options open regarding the future of their clients in case the eight-time Premier League champions lose their top-flight status. The report has suggested that agents are open to holding discussions with City to ‘hear the club’s plans and be informed of the options open to them if the worst-case scenario occurs’, with their intention being to understand every eventuality to ensure their players are protected.

However, they will now have to contest against the same charges in court to make sure they avoid a bleak future that could see them lose key figures like Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland and many more.
