Darren Bent Calls for League Two Relegation and Six-Year Transfer Ban for Man City if Found Guilty

Former England striker Darren Bent believes Manchester City should be relegated to League Two and given a six-year transfer ban if the club is found guilty of alleged Premier League financial-rule breaches. Bent compared the possible punishment to Rangers’ demotion in Scotland following the club’s liquidation in 2012. Manchester City deny wrongdoing over the 115 charges brought by the Premier League, and a verdict from the independent process is still pending. Possible sanctions could range from fines and points deductions to relegation. However, a drop to League Two and a lengthy transfer ban would be unprecedented in English football. City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has urged supporters to remain confident, saying the club intends to prove its innocence while respecting the confidentiality of the legal process.
