The Premier League has a stronger case against Manchester City than UEFA did three years ago, according to the governing body's former chief investigator Yves Leterme.
UEFA suspended the Premier League giants from European football in 2020 for allegedly breaching Financial Fair Play rules, before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) intervened to overturn the ban.
Manchester City, who were sensationally charged by the Premier League on Monday, have now been accused of breaking financial rules again - more than 100 times over a nine-year period - and risk a points deduction or even expulsion from the league if found guilty.
