Man City's last Championship team and where they are now including Premier League winner amid relegation threat

MANCHESTER CITY are at risk of being relegated from the Premier League if found guilty of alleged financial breaches.

They face possible punishments including a points deduction, transfer bans, spending limits and and stripping of previous titles.

Another potential punishment is expulsion from the league, meaning relegation and a drop into the Championship.

City have been in the top flight since the 2002-03 season, having won the Championship in 2002 with an impressive 99 points.

That team included Erling Haaland's dad Alfe-Inge, though he was a bit-part player with the likes of Stuart Pearce, Shaun Goater, and Shaun Wright-Phillips firing the Citizens to the Prem.

With Man City at real threat of a return to the second tier, SunSport takes a look at that Championship winning side of 2001-02 and where they are now.
