One of the possible sanctions for Man City is expulsion from the Premier League.

City spending as If FFP does not exist, not surprised they’ve been caught. On behalf of City fans, removal from PL the only suitable punishment. @premierleague @FIFA @TheRock

We lost the title THREE times due to corruption. Man City should be dissolved for financially cheating the whole time.
