On Tuesday, the Premier League confirmed information that was leaked at the end of last week - that Manchester City has been found guilty of all charges of breaching the Premier League's financial regulations during the years 2009-2018.
David Bernstein was chairman of Manchester City between 1998 and 2003 and also chairman of the English Football Association, the FA, between 2011 and 2013. He believes that City must be punished severely.
"It's very serious, I think it's terrible. The sanctions can't just be financial, this goes far beyond that. If their appeal fails, Manchester City can't stay in the league, they have to suffer. And I say that as a supporter," says Bernstein.
No decision on criminal sanctions has yet been made.
