REVEALED: Premier League rivals 'want Manchester City punished domestically for breaching Financial Fair Play rules after their Champions League ban... but insist relegation is a step too far'

Manchester City need to be punished for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, according to their Premier League rivals - but relegation would be a step too far.

City were handed a two-year suspension from competing in European competitions by UEFA last week while the reigning Premier League champions also received a £25million fine for FFP breaches.

According to The Athletic, many of England's top-flight sides are torn on what should happen to the club while many agree they need to be severely punished for breaking the rules.

The report suggests that many Premier League clubs are feeling aggrieved over the prices City paid for the players, which in turn inflated prices in the transfer market.
