BREAKING NEWS: Manchester City is in serious trouble as they face a potential ban from PGMOL due to 115 charges related to violations of Financial Fair Play (FFP), putting the future of the Premier League powerhouse at risk.

**What Happened?**

The reigning Premier League champions face 115 allegations related to financial fair play (FFP) violations. As per the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), other clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest have recently faced points deductions for similar issues.

**MacAnthony’s View**

Darragh MacAnthony, chairman of Peterborough United in League One, expressed skepticism about the potential severity of the penalties for these charges. Drawing a parallel to the 2006 Calciopoli scandal in Italy, where Juventus was stripped of a title, he voiced uncertainty about what actions might be taken.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, MacAnthony suggested that headlines about relegation, bans, or revoking past league titles might be sensationalized, and he doubted the feasibility of altering past outcomes.

MacAnthony acknowledged that football clubs, including those in the English Football League (EFL), often try to navigate around financial regulations to strengthen their teams.

He emphasized that this is not unique to Manchester City, the club at the center of the current allegations, and noted that the Premier League is not immune to such actions.

He suggested waiting to see the final outcome, as Manchester City has been a significant and influential club over the past decade, making them a prime target for media scrutiny.

**Guardiola’s Future**

The discussion also touched on the future of Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, who is in the final year of his contract. MacAnthony speculated that Guardiola, who has been with the club for six years or more, might consider taking a break, similar to what Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool hinted at.

MacAnthony noted the relentless nature of managing a top football club, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggested that Guardiola might benefit from a year off to recharge.

He even proposed that Manchester City could allow Guardiola to take a break, putting a trusted assistant in charge temporarily, to ensure he returns refreshed. This approach, he argued, could also have been beneficial for Klopp under similar circumstances.
