EFL's New Stance on Accepting Man City and Enforcing Double Punishment
The EFL could hit Manchester City with a second points deduction if they are relegated to the Championship, according to reports. City are currently awaiting the outcome of their appeal against the guilty verdict they received last month. They deny any wrongdoing and insist they have a body of "irrefutable evidence" that will prove their innocence. However, if their appeal is rejected, they will be in a whole world of trouble.
