i paper上，足球财经评论员基兰·马奎尔在最新分析中提到，若曼城在上诉过程中失利并最终遭遇降级，其遭受的经济损失预计将超过五亿英镑。
亏损总额超过五亿英镑，其构成情况如下：
Broadcasting revenue experienced a substantial decline, reaching a loss of approximately 225 million pounds. This reduction saw the figure fall from around 278.6 million pounds to roughly 50 million pounds.
商业赞助领域遭受了大约3亿英镑的损失，收入从原先的约3.4亿英镑骤减至仅数千万英镑。
在比赛日，亏损高达3000万至4000万英镑。
Moreover, the demotion would precipitate a financial crisis on the payroll. Manchester City had previously allocated an annual salary expenditure of 408.4 million pounds. The Championship's team cost regulations stipulate that wages and administrative expenses must not exceed 85% of the permissible income.
曼城此前未曾料及降级可能，据称球员们的合同中并未设定通常在降级情况下可减薪50%至90%的条款。除非进行大规模的球星裁减或薪资的重新协商，否则哈兰德、恩佐、福登、多库、多纳鲁马以及格伊这六位高收入球员的总薪资（超过1.04亿英镑）将使得其财务状况严重超越英冠联赛中最高薪资俱乐部的总和。
