Manchester City's Premier League charges MUST lead to RELEGATION if proven, says a former financial advisor to the champions - and they will have NO financial advantage on lawyers

Manchester City 'must be relegated' if charges relating to breaking financial rules are proven, according to a former financial advisor for the club.

The Premier League champions were charged on Monday with breaking the division's financial rules more than 100 times regarding sponsors and contracts across nine seasons.

City could face a points deduction or even expulsion in the wake of the allegations - and a former advisor to the club has now stated that if they are proven, Pep Guardiola's side must be sent down to the Championship.
