A member of UK parliament, Jeremy Corbyn, has called for Manchester City to be relegated from the Premier League.
Corbyn was reacting to reports that City has been found guilty on most of the 115 financial charges brought against it.
City were last week reported to have been found guilty of 114 of 115 charges after a four-year investigation and a 12-week independent commission hearing.
No official sanction has been announced yet, but possible punishments include heavy fines, points deductions, expulsion, and relegation.
Corbyn, who is a lifelong Arsenal supporter, has now said the alleged breaches strike at the integrity of the competition and should carry a sporting punishment, not just a financial one.
The call mirrors sentiments from former City chairman David Bernstein, who said on talkSPORT that financial penalties alone would not suffice for a club with “limitless financial resources.”
