Jose Mourinho, the former Manchester United manager, believes his old side could still be crowned Premier League champions for the 2017-18 season, if Manchester City are found guilty of financial rule breaches and stripped of their title. Mourinho, now at Fenerbahce, humorously suggests he might even be entitled to a bonus and medal, as United finished second that year, 19 points behind City. City faces over 100 charges for potential financial irregularities, with possible punishments including fines, points deductions, or even expulsion from the Premier League.
Results for: Financial Rules
Leicester City has successfully appealed a decision that could have resulted in a points deduction for an alleged breach of Premier League financial rules. The appeal board ruled that the club’s accounting period ended before its relegation, meaning the Premier League could not take action against them for exceeding financial thresholds.
