Should Manchester City be relegated if its financial rule breaches are upheld on appeal?

Manchester City have been found guilty by an independent commission of serious breaches of Premier League financial rules relating to the period between 2009 and 2018. The club continues to deny wrongdoing and is appealing the decision. [1]

No punishment has yet been decided, but possible sanctions range from fines and points deductions to relegation or expulsion from the Premier League. [2]

The case has divided opinion over what would constitute a proportionate punishment, particularly given City's success during the period covered by the breaches and the potential impact on the club, its supporters and Manchester.
