Manchester City's Premier League title haul is not under immediate threat despite the club being found guilty of breaching the majority of the 115 charges brought against them, according to BBC News.
The report suggests there is little appetite within the Premier League to strip City of any of their eight trophies won during the period under investigation, even as the club stands convicted of widespread rule breaches. However, BBC News notes the threat has not disappeared entirely, with the possibility of sanctions still looming depending on the scale of punishment eventually handed down.
The case, which has dragged on for years and centres on alleged financial rule breaches, represents one of the most significant disciplinary matters in the competition's history. While the verdict confirms City breached regulations on multiple counts, BBC News indicates that stripping silverware retrospectively is seen as a step too far for the league to take, leaving City's trophy cabinet intact for now — even as questions remain over what punishment will ultimately follow.
