Investigators looking into allegations that Manchester City misled those conducting a financial fair play probe are reportedly seeking a one-year Champions League ban for the reigning Premier League champions, according to the New York Times.
English soccer authorities and UEFA officials been investigating Manchester City after allegations surfaced following the publication of Football Leaks revelations. The investigatory panel's leader will ultimately make the final decision regarding whether or not the club is punished and how severe the punishment winds up being.
If he does sanction a year-long Champions League ban, given that Man City would almost certainly appeal, it is unclear it would be able to be enforced in time for next season's competition.
