Legal expert Daniel Baker states that Tottenham could open the floodgates for rival clubs to seek substantial compensation from Manchester City. Following reports that Manchester City were found guilty of financial breaches regarding inflated sponsorship payments, Baker noted that clubs finishing below them could argue they suffered significant financial harm regarding lost league places and European qualification.
