According to the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan has called for Man City to be relegated after they were found guilty on 114 of 115 charges.

According to reports, Man City has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 breaches of financial regulations, and the club is anxiously awaiting the outcome of sanctions. Man City has been accused of widespread financial misconduct spanning their period of sustained success from 2009 to 2018, and the club is certain to appeal the verdict.

Potential sanctions for Man City include fines, point deductions, relegation, and even the stripping of titles.

Morgan is a devoted Arsenal supporter. Following Man City's accusations of "manipulating the system," he has called for them to be relegated at least from the Premier League and to face consecutive point deductions in future seasons.

He told Simon Jordan and Daily Mail sports journalist Oliver Holt on the Football Uncensored programme: "Man City must be relegated 100%. One hundred per cent. They want to get away with just fines and a transfer ban? No, no, absolutely not."

"I think they should be relegated, and they should have points deducted over the next four seasons. There has to be real punishment. Fines are useless; billions in oil money from Abu Dhabi pour in every day. The punishment needs to genuinely hurt them."

Holt previously called for Man City to be stripped of titles in a Daily Mail article as a deterrent. He agreed with the sanctions Morgan proposed, while Jordan emphasized that punishment should not "destroy" the Premier League itself.

The former Crystal Palace chairman also stated that the verdict means Abu Dhabi United Group's "failed project" at Man City should end.

He said: "This project has now failed for Abu Dhabi. The original purpose of using football was to change perceptions of these entities and this regime."

"I want to see the ownership removed, because I believe the ownership is entirely responsible. In my view, Abu Dhabi cannot recover from this as the owner of a sports club."

"Even if they produce irrefutable evidence, the outside world will still view it as merely a legal loophole. Their project to change public perception through sport is over, so the consequences are now staring them in the face."

Man City has consistently and publicly maintained its innocence throughout the process, with club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak stating last week: "Our confidence and determination to clear the club's name remain as strong as ever."

Man City was charged by the Premier League in February 2023, and the hearing concluded in December 2024. In a statement released that month, the club expressed its "surprise" at the charges.

The Premier League has accused Man City of repeatedly breaching financial regulations and failing to cooperate with the subsequent investigation. The breaches are alleged to span 14 years, with the most serious violations occurring over an eight-year period.

A three-person panel heard the evidence. Originally, a verdict was expected within several months, but more than three and a half years have now passed.

The original 115 charges later increased to 130 due to administrative issues, making this the most costly and largest case in English football history.

Facing over 115 charges of breaches spanning more than eight years, some dating back to Pep Guardiola's early tenure, Man City has consistently maintained its innocence.

The club is accused of failing to accurately report financial information over nine seasons from 2009-10 to 2017-18, and failing to provide full details of former manager Roberto Mancini's wages for the 2009-10 to 2012-13 seasons.

Man City is also accused of failing to provide complete details of player payments across the 2010-11 to 2015-16 seasons, and of failing to cooperate with the investigation from 2018 to 2023.

During these years, Man City won 8 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League title, 4 FA Cups, and 7 League Cups.
