Manchester City stars now fearing Premier League relegation

Manchester City players reportedly fear they could face relegation following an independent commission's confirmation of guilty verdicts regarding Premier League financial breaches. The club was found guilty of 114 breaches of financial regulations, prompting severe concerns across the squad about potential sporting penalties that could include a massive points deduction or expulsion from the division.

Manchester City has formally confirmed its intention to lodge an appeal against what it calls an unsafe verdict, maintaining innocence against the charges. Meanwhile, rival clubs and the English Football Association are monitoring the outcome closely as potential sanctions remain unresolved under manager Pep Guardiola.
