AN ex-Manchester City executive was warned yesterday she could face jail after cheating the club out of £104,374.
Business development manager Fiona Barclay was suspended and sacked by the Prem champs over her crimes.

Barclay, 33, of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, appeared at Manchester’s Minshull Street crown court for sentence after earlier admitting the fraud.
The judge adjourned the case until next month for a psychiatric report but warned “it doesn’t mean there won’t be a custodial sentence”.
City said no clients suffered a loss in the fraud.
Recorder Lowe told Barclay, who cried in the dock, that an adjournment didn’t necessarily mean she’d be spared a custodial sentence.
He said: “All sentencing options are open.
“By putting this case back it doesn’t mean there won’t be a custodial sentence.”
Barclay will be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on September 21.
A City spokesperson said: “Fiona Barclay was suspended immediately and subsequently dismissed when evidence of her fraud was uncovered.
