According to The Sun, even if an independent commission recommends expelling Manchester City from the Premier League, approval from Premier League clubs would still be required; however, a points deduction does not require club approval.

Manchester City officials remain insistent that the team will win its appeal, while other clubs are demanding severe punishment.

Under new rules approved by all 20 Premier League clubs this past summer, Manchester City's appeal hearing must be completed by December 24 at the latest, with proceedings lasting no more than five days and conducted consecutively. The appeals committee then has 30 days to issue its decision.

If Manchester City loses its appeal, both parties will be called for a sanctions hearing. However, the sanctions hearing could also be held before the appeal begins.

Premier League rules state that the commission has the power to impose or recommend any punishment, ranging from fines to expulsion from the league. The Premier League's legal team will present arguments for the punishment they seek, and Manchester City also has the right to argue for a lighter penalty; the commission may disregard both parties' opinions when making its decision.

Sanctions may include points deduction, fines, transfer bans, or prohibiting Manchester City from representing the Premier League in UEFA or FIFA competitions. These measures would be implemented immediately before the final decision is announced.

Clause B6 stipulates that the Premier League can expel a club from membership through a special resolution. The resolution must be passed by a vote of at least three-quarters of the member representatives entitled to vote or their proxies at a meeting where notice of intention to propose the resolution has been given.

This means 15 of the 20 clubs must vote in favor for Manchester City to be expelled from the Premier League. If this threshold is not met, the proposal will fail, and the situation will become more complicated.

Manchester City remains determined to win its appeal and believes it has submitted sufficient evidence to overturn the commission's findings. Previously, Manchester City accused the three-person commission of accepting "Premier League conspiracy theories."
