Jamie Carragher warns Man City could face WORSE 'repercussions' than Everton

Jamie Carragher has warned that Manchester City could face tougher consequences than Everton for their 115 alleged financial rule breaches.

The Premier League have previously accused City of using delaying tactics to stall their
