City are now facing a potential points deduction, while other punishments could include transfer bans, spending limits and even having their previous titles stripped.
At this stage City have been charged but not found guilty.
And the man set to be investigating their off the field woes is Arsenal member Murray Rosen KC.
That’s because according to BBC, Rosen has been appointed as the chair of the independent commission looking into City’s wrongdoings.
And he’s an avid Gunners supporter.
Rosen’s profile on the 4 New Square chambers wrote: “He is a strong believer in fairness and in the power and benefits of sport and has a keen appreciation of its social, political and financial aspects.
“He has participated in sport all his life, is a member of the MCC and Arsenal FC, and still regularly plays real tennis and ping pong.
“His knowledge of the sports scene and the issues which arise, both commercial and regulatory, in relation to the governance of sport, and its competitions and events, makes him a sympathetic hands-on tribunal chairman and a successful mediator.

“He has recently initiated an ad hoc working party consulting and reporting on the Impact of Covid-19 on sport disputes resolution procedures, supported and published by LawinSport.”
In response to the charges, City released a brief 79-word statement and said they were “surprised” by allegations being made.
Meanwhile, Arsenal supporter and SunSport columnist Piers Morgan reckons the Etihad Stadium club should be docked points immediately to improve the the Gunners’ title chances.
He tweeted: “Outrageous. Immediate points deduction!”
