Bernstein, who was City chairman from 1998 until 2003 and served as Football Association chair 2011-13, has warned that financial penalties will not be enough of a punishment.
Former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein stated that the club should face penalties affecting their Premier League status following reports that they were found guilty of the vast majority of 115 financial rule-breaking charges.
