Man City told they should start on 'minus' points if found guilty of Premier League charges

Gabby Agbonlahor has demanded Manchester City receive a points deduction if they are found to have breached financial rules.

City were charged by the Premier League with over 100 alleged breaches on Monday, following an investigation looking as far back as the 2009/2010 season. The Blues are alleged to have breached league rules requiring provision “in utmost good faith” of “accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position” - accusations that the club vehemently deny.

The charges will be reviewed by an independent panel, with potential punishments ranging from a small fine to docked points or even expulsion from the Premier League. And Agbonlahor believes that if the charges are found to be true, the Premier League should throw the book at City with the strongest possible sanctions.
