Former Captain Warns 60-Point Man City Deduction Could Ruin Premier League
Richard Dunne, the former Manchester City captain, says sanctions are likely to be applied before the 2026-27 campaign. He noted the club retains the right to appeal any ruling.
Dunne described the ongoing case as undermining. He said the controversy has followed the club and affected interviews about FFP.
Manchester City recently lifted the Carabao Cup. Dunne praised the squad’s talent and attractive style of play.
Impact on the club and league
Dunne said a final decision would bring relief to everyone linked to the club. He added it would allow City to stop being defined by the dispute.
The former captain warned a 60-point deduction for Man City could ruin the Premier League. He argued such a punishment would damage competition balance and public confidence.
Appeal and next steps
City can lodge an appeal against any sanctions. Dunne expects the process to conclude ahead of the 2026-27 season.
He believes a clear outcome will let stakeholders focus on football again. Filmogaz.com will continue to monitor and report on developments.
