Former Socceroo Craig Foster calls for Manchester City to be relegated from the Premier League after club was hit with more than 100 counts of alleged financial cheating

Craig Foster has weighed in on the latest scandal surrounding English football, after Manchester City were charged with more than 100 counts of alleged financial cheating.

In a bombshell announcement on Monday, the Premier League charged City with more than 100 financial rule breaches.

The charges against the reigning champions relate to financial information regarding revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier League investigations.

Should they be found guilty by an independent commission, City could be docked points or even expelled from England's top flight, while silverware won during the period of alleged breaches - from 2009 to 2018 - could be stripped.
