Tebas: City deserves harshest punishment

La Liga president Javier Tebas demands the strictest possible punishment for Manchester City if the club is found guilty of financial rule violations.

La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for the harshest possible penalty against Manchester City, should the club be found guilty of financial rule violations. Several English media outlets have reported that City has been found guilty of the majority of 115 charges, though this has not been officially confirmed.

The strictest punishment Premier League can impose is expulsion, which requires support from at least 15 of the league's 20 clubs. City's chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has expressed confidence in proving the club's innocence. Tebas, known for fighting against 'financial doping' in European football, believes the punishment should serve as an example for breaking rules over a decade-long period. tbzikra.org
