i paper近日刊文，足球财经权威基兰·马奎尔在分析中预测，若曼城在上诉未果的情况下不幸降级，其遭受的经济损失恐将超过50亿欧元。
亏损总额超过五亿英镑，其构成情况如下：
Broadcasting revenue experienced a staggering deficit of approximately 225 million pounds, plummeting from around 278.6 million pounds to a mere 50 million pounds.
约3亿英镑的商务赞助亏损导致收入从原先的3.4亿英镑锐减至数千万级别。
在比赛日，俱乐部面临大约3000万至4000万英镑的收入损失。
Furthermore, the demotion could precipitate a payroll catastrophe. Manchester City had previously allocated an astronomical salary expenditure of 408.4 million pounds. The Championship's club expenditure regulations stipulate that wages and management expenses must not exceed 85% of permissible income.
曼城未曾设想过会遭遇降级，因此据称其球员的合同中并未包含那些通常在降级情况下能够将薪资削减50%至90%的条款。若球队不采取大规模的球星淘汰或薪资重新协商的措施，那么仅哈兰德、恩佐、福登、多库、多纳鲁马和格伊这六位高收入球员的年薪总和（超过1.04亿英镑）便足以超过英格兰冠军联赛中任何一支俱乐部最高年薪总额，从而使得财务指标显著超标。
