i paper近期发布的一篇由足球财经专家基兰·马奎尔撰写的分析文章预言，若曼城在上诉过程中遭遇败绩并最终不幸降级，其遭受的经济损失预计将超过5亿英镑的大关。

亏损总额高达五亿英镑以上，其具体构成如下：

Broadcasting revenue has plummeted by approximately 225 million pounds, dipping from around 278.6 million pounds to a mere 50 million pounds.

赞助商的投入显著减少，亏损额高达约3亿英镑，使得原本约为3.4亿英镑的赞助收入锐减至仅剩数千万英镑。

在比赛当天，收入损失高达3000万至4000万英镑。

Furthermore, the demotion would lead to a catastrophic payroll situation. Manchester City had previously allocated an annual salary expenditure of 408.4 million pounds. The Championship's club cost regulations stipulate that wages and administrative expenses must not exceed 85% of the allowable revenue.

曼城球员的合同中，据传并未设定那些通常在降级情况下可减少50%至90%薪酬的条款，鉴于他们此前从未料到会遭遇降级。若不采取大规模的球星转会或薪资重新协商措施，曼城队中包括哈兰德、恩佐、福登、多库、多纳鲁马和格伊在内的六位高收入球员的年薪总和——超过1.04亿英镑——将使得他们的财务状况超出英格兰冠军联赛中薪酬最高的俱乐部的总支出，从而引发严重的财务超支问题。
