UEFA has been warned there could be 'mutiny' among its member clubs once a verdict is reached on Manchester City's charges from the Premier League.
The focus on this issue has intensified following Everton's recent deduction of 10 points for a breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
Speculation is now rife regarding how this decision might impact any forthcoming sanctions against City if the allegations against them are proven true.
The Premier League's investigation into Manchester City spanned several years and involved accusations of financial misrepresentation to football authorities.

It is worth noting that these charges come in the wake of UEFA's own investigation into City's breach of FFP rules, which resulted in a two-year ban from the Champions League.
As the club prepares its legal defense for the independent panel, the potential consequences for both Manchester City and the Premier League loom large.
"Whatever the result of the present dispute, it is almost certain that UEFA will face serious unrest from its member clubs to a point of mutiny."
The charges against Manchester City are unprecedented in nature and are expected to take years to resolve due to their complexity.
While it is possible that City could be found guilty of non-cooperation with another investigation, the burden falls on the Premier League to prove its most damning allegations.
