'A risk not worth taking' - PL execs not expecting clubs to vote for City expulsion

Two senior executives at different top-level Premier League clubs have told Sky Sports News they would be “staggered” and “amazed” if 15 clubs were prepared to vote to expel Manchester City from the Premier League, with such a move akin to “self-inflicted commercial disaster."

Expulsion is one of a number of punishments open to the independent commission, which earlier this week found the club guilty of all but one of the 115 charges levelled against them for financial mis-management. Other available sanctions include a fine, points deduction and/or transfer embargo.
