Schmeichel Calls for Harsh Punishment for City: 25-Point Deduction for 5 Years

The former Manchester United goalkeeper called for unprecedented punishment for Manchester City after its conviction in a financial misconduct case.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper has called for an unprecedented punishment for Manchester City after being convicted in a financial fraud case.

According to Ambassador Arjan, former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel commented on the possible punishment of Manchester City in the case of financial violations and demanded heavy punishment for this team.

Two weeks ago, an independent commission of the Premier League found Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 charges of violating the financial rules of the Premier League, and the punishment for this team will be announced soon.

Schmeichel told the Manchester Evening News site: City's punishment should be announced as soon as possible. They must stay in the Premier League but must start every Premier League season for the next five years with minus 25 points. The prestige of the Premier League should be preserved by punishing City heavily. That is, if you cheat in the Premier League and cheat all other clubs, the punishment will be severe. I think this is important. A five-year ban from transfers and a heavy fine should also be imposed on this team.

Schmeichel continued: I think the owners of City should be forced to sell the club. I don't think they are fit to run this club and I don't think they should run a club in England at all. I also think everyone involved should be banned. They should not work in football. Whether they take or keep the titles doesn't matter much.

These words have been raised in a situation where the British Prime Minister, in response to the case of Manchester City's violations, defended the role of the owners of this club in the extensive investments in Manchester.
