Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills has urged that the club receive a punishment lasting seven seasons in response to alleged financial breaches, the Nigerian daily Punch reported.
Mills, who played for Manchester City as a right‑back in the early 2000s, said the severity of the alleged infractions warranted a sanction that would span multiple years.
The former England international did not detail the specific nature of the breaches, only describing them as financial violations that merit a long‑term penalty.
He called for a “seven‑year” punishment, suggesting that any disciplinary action should be extensive enough to deter similar conduct in the future.
In football, governing bodies such as the Premier League and UEFA have the authority to impose sanctions for financial misconduct, which can include fines, points deductions, transfer bans or exclusion from competitions.
Mills’ remarks add to ongoing discussions about how strictly financial regulations should be enforced across top‑flight clubs.
The ultimate decision on any sanction will rest with the relevant football authorities, who will assess the allegations and determine an appropriate response.
