Though Chelsea’s problems are predicted to solve themselves in the near future, it is City who are facing a real struggle to meet the guidelines.
Football finance expert Andy Green told the BBC: “For City, they’ve got a long way to go. They need to get into the Champions League, stay there year after year, probably put their ticket prices up and really turn around their commercial side – in fact they need to make it one of the best in the world – to even have a chance of meeting these rules.”
