Piers Morgan has called for Manchester City to be relegated after the club were found guilty of the ‘vast majority’ of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League.City, who are certain to appeal the verdict, are nervously awaiting punishment after being found guilty of 114 of their 115 rule-break charges, according to sources, with the club accused of widespread financial cheating over a period of sustained success between 2009 and 2018.The punishment eventually imposed on Manchester City could range from a fine or points deduction to relegation or even the stripping of trophies. Morgan, a fervent Arsenal fan, called for City to face Premier League relegation at the very least, along with a series of points deduction over the next few seasons, after being found guilty of ‘cheating the system’.Speaking to Simon Jordan and Daily Mail Sport’s Oliver Holt on Football Uncensored, he said: ‘They (Man City) 100 per cent have to be relegated. 100 per cent. This idea they get away with a fine and a transfer ban – no, no, no, no. ‘I think they should be relegated, I think there should be a points deduction for the next four seasons. There’s got to be a proper punishment. The fine is irrelevant, Abu Dhabi have gazillions pumping out of their oil barrels every day. It’s got to hurt them.’ Piers Morgan has called for Man City to be relegated after being found guilty of rule breaking City were found to have broken 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, having profited from an era of sustained success between 2009 and 2018Holt, who urged in his Daily Mail column that City should be stripped of their titles as a deterrent, agreed with Morgan’s suggested sanction – while Jordan insisted that the punishment cannot ‘scorch’ the Premier League.The former Crystal Palace chairman also claimed that the guilty verdict should spell the end of the Abu Dhabi United Group’s ‘doomed’ project at Manchester City.He said: ‘This project is doomed now for Abu Dhabi. The whole idea behind utilising football was to change the perspective on these entities, these regimes.’What I do want to see is the ownership separated, because I do believe the ownership is entirely culpable. Abu Dhabi cannot in my mind recover from this in terms of an ownership with a sports franchise. ‘Even if they do find irrefutable evidence, there will still be the argument it was a technicality. Their project of delivering sport and a prism of the way that their society was looked at, is toast. And so the consequence is there for them.’City have publicly maintained their innocence throughout the process, with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak saying last week: ‘Our confidence and intent in proving the club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began.’Man City were charged in February 2023 by the Premier League with a hearing concluding in December 2024. Their statement that February insisted that they were ‘surprised’ by the charges. The Premier League accused Man City of multiple breaches of financial rules and of failing to co-operate with a subsequent investigation. The alleged rule breaking was claimed to have taken place over a 14-year period, with the most serious across an eight-year spell. A three-man panel was tasked with considering the evidence, with the initial expectation a verdict would have been reached on the case within months. It has since taken three-and-a-half years. Simon Jordan claimed that the guilty verdict should spell the end of Abu Dhabi’s City projectThe original 115 charges were extended to a total of 130 after an administration issue in what is the most expensive and wide-ranging case in English football history.City remained steadfast in maintaining their innocence over more than 115 alleged breaches across eight years, some including the start of the Pep Guardiola era.The club were accused of failing to report accurate financial information for nine seasons stretching from 2009-10 to 2017-18, as well as failing to provide full details of former manager Roberto Mancini’s pay between 2009-10 and 2012-13.They were also alleged to have failed to provide full details of money paid to players between 2010-11 and 2015-16 and failing to co-operate with the probe from 2018 to 2023.Between the years mentioned, Manchester City won eight Premier League titles, a Champions League, four FA Cups and seven EFL Cups.
