There were no rules broke just a club getting into massive amounts of debt at the time.
He could well lose all the titles but that’s out of his control. City basically will have to be charged with fraud for that to happen which is mainly centered around their sponsorship deals.
He’s competed with similar net spends, yes there’s question wether city should have been able to buy the players but judged on players values bought against players sold its less than united.
