A VIRAL CLAIM… BUT NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION

◾The claim quickly gained traction

◾It sparked fears of potential relegation

However, there is currently no official confirmation of such a sanction.


WHAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW

Amplified by social media
Shared without reliable sourcing
Presented as fact despite uncertainty


This is a typical case of misinformation gaining momentum without official backing.


WHY CAUTION IS ESSENTIAL

Until then, any claim should be treated with caution.


THE CURRENT REALITY


Manchester City’s situation remains unresolved publicly, but:
