Carragher: Why Man City My Be Relegated

Jamie Carragher has said that Manchester City should be ‘sent to the National League North’ as Everton face a points deduction.

This come following reports that Everton could be deducted 12 points after the Premier League recommended the harshest possible punishment for alleged Financial Fair Play breaches.

The Toffees could be hit with a significant points deduction if an independent commission finds them guilty of financial irregularities.

Carragher has now claimed that such a sanction might mean Manchester City, who have been charged with over 100 financial breaches over the last 14 seasons, might end up in the National League North.


He wrote on X: “The PL want a 12-point deduction for Everton for one charge. Man City are going to end up in the National League North if the PL get their way!!

“Unbelievable the amount of stories that come out about Everton’s situation, but Man City’s, which has 114 more charges and has gone on for much longer, has gone very quiet.”

While Everton’s problems are largely down to overspending in recent years.

Over the last five years, the club have announced losses of £44.7 million in 2022, £121.3 million in 2021, £139.9 million in 2020, £111.8 million in 2019 and £13.1 million in 2018.

The Premier League first announced the alleged breach in March and have made just one statement.

It read: “The proceedings before the commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private.

“Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission’s final award will be published on the Premier League’s website.

“The League will be making no further comment until that time.”
