The EFL are willing to work in tandem with the Premier League to punish Manchester City, talkSPORT understands.Although City have been found guilty of a significant amount of financial breaches, they are yet to be reprimanded.Enzo Maresca has walked into a firestorm at CityGettyAnd whatever punishment City receive, it is anticipated the club will appeal it.In essence, that mean a conclusion to the ordeal could be months, potentially years away.However, several parties, including Simon Jordan, have cautioned City over the merits of launching an appeal and expecting the initial verdict to be overturned.Unfortunately for City, the majority of punishments that have been floated are severe as the Premier League seeks justice.But Jacobs warned it’s not just the Premier League that City may need to worry about.Ben Jacobs explains how the EFL could get involved in Manchester City’s case“My understanding is the Premier League have been pushing for a significant, a record, a ground-breaking, a severe points deduction, and even having Manchester City relegated,” Jacobs said.“I can also exclusively tell you that if Manchester City are kicked out of the Premier League, the EFL plan to read the verdict, and they are willing, in solidarity, to back the Premier League position and try to keep Manchester City out of the EFL as well.“So there’s a danger in a doomsday scenario that Manchester City could be kicked out of football altogether.However, Jacobs was at pains to stress that expulsion is only one legal possibility.As for the points deduction, Jacobs outlined there are a number of ways in which it could be handed down.City could find themselves not just booted from the Premier League, but also the EFLGettyHow Manchester City could be impacted by points deductionsOne possibility is that City receive a points deduction in the range of 50-55 points, which Jacobs described as a ‘de facto relegation’.Any more points and Jacobs believed it would be an ‘automatic relegation’.However, should City be docked anywhere between 30 to 40 points but accrue 80 points during the season, it could very well be enough to keep them up.Jacobs added that in the conversations he’s had regarding the matter, there’s also the chance City receive a points deduction that is spread across multiple seasons.That would prove especially damaging to City’s Champions League aspirations, robbing them of the riches and prestige that comes with competing in the tournament.However, Jacobs cautioned that City copping a penalty of that ilk could be seen as ‘quite a prejudiced punishment’.Regardless, it appears a final, definitive verdict on City’s financial indiscretions may be some time away.
