UAE government is literally backing Mancity. Absolutely nothing will happen to them

If it is proven that City have indeed broken the rules then I'm sure every other club in the league will go absolutely apeshit.

All 19 other teams will have to be silenced by force. Klopp will need to be muzzled during press conferences. Ten Hag will be distracted with a really nice pair of clogs. Someone will turn the volume down on the little Arteta doll, or at the very least take him off of the Cnut Demo Mode that he's currently set to.

At that point, even if the UK Government's "special oversight committee" stick their grubby fingers in the manipulate the results, they will just shout louder. It's not like every other club in the league survives because they play against City. It'll probably increase the value of the league overall since City's exile will open up a spot for a club with an actual fan base who watch football matches.

Poll: If City get deducted points and United are awarded the 2021 title, does that make Ole the best post Ferguson manager?

Wouldn't it be Mourinho as he also finished 2nd and won Europa?
 
'The best league in the world', with two of the main trophy winners over the last 20 years potentially about to be relegated, it's not a good look.

Then what, United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, quite rightly looking at them having the trophies they've won in this time taken off them, the clubs that have finished 5 th in these seasons looking for compensation, other European clubs looking for the same as they knocked them out of Europe in these years, etc.

And if they don't do something significant then they'll have some serious questions as to why not.

This has all the makings of a nightmare the Premier League.
 
The EPL is a pretty corrupt league, so I expect nothing to happen

As much as I would love it to happen, I don't think they will be expelled. That only happens during extreme cases, such as match fixing.

City will be fined, heavily, and a strong points deduction, like 30 points. They'd still probably win the league :lol:

Yes, a big fine, which means nothing to them, but I'd doubt very much they get a points deduction of 30 points, and even if they did, it would be spread over 5 years or more.
As far as I am aware, City's legal team can continue to challenge and appeal for the next 30 years if necessary.

I think he'd tie with Mou who'd also get one? But we don't want that because Pool will pick some up.
 
City kind of ruined football by winning the treble at a relative canter by cheating.
I don’t really care about the game as much as I used to because of it.

If they were relegated and stripped of titles it would go some way to fixing the integrity of the sport, at least for the Premier league. Because that’s exactly what they deserve.
same goes for Chelsea depending on what they did.
 
Even if they got a 30 point deduction and fined 100 mill it would be nothing. They will come 9th for a season and the money is like 100 pound fine to us. Its nothing but an inconvenience
 
If City aren’t chucked out of the league compared to Everton’s punishment and quickly, then the premier league is a laughing stock around the world.
 
If City do get relegated or absolved, do all the players get free transfers?
Does City still hold the contracts and player permits/whatever they're called?
Would they just move some players to the likes of Girona, Palermo, etc.?

I don’t think there is a time limit on epl. Which is why it’s taking such a long time.

The fifa/cas one did have a time limit.

explains in here somewhere how the epl don’t have such problems with time

but could also be wrong? Who knows anymore!!

Thanks for posting this. Incredible stuff. After what happened to Everton today, who appear to have just overspent and didnt try hiding, the book should be thrown at these guys.

They might not have the manager or players but I feel like they'll shoot straight back up regardless of their situation.

Pep said he will leave if he finds out tbe club lied to him although we dont actually know what the club told him so we wont actually know if they lied to him or not

Unless they're just outright expelled from the league (which I can't see happening), the only way to truly hurt them is a huge transfer ban (which I also can't see happening).

Given some of their historical points totals, even a 30 point deduction doesn't rule them out of the CL spots.

The charges cover about a decade, and then there's every year after 2018 that. Stop them being able to sign players for 15 years and see how they get on.

When Juventus went down in the mid noughties, they had the history and the clout to retain their top players who wanted to stay (SAF account of del Piero). Not one of those city players knew anything about that club before they signed.
 
A one off 30 point deduction or relegation, without anything else, would make what City have done well worth it for them.
 
30 points deduction would be an absolute piss take for over 100 rule breaches.

Why on Earth would any new owner give a shit about the rules, just pump money in non-stop, create a multi title winning team, then get a smacked arse & have one season finishing in 9th before being back in business the following season. Very very tiny price to pay, sure Citeh would be delighted with that.
 
they have to take away their titles and relegate them to league 2. that would piss off pep and the players
 
A 30 point deduction is not relative to a 10 point deduction for Everton’s crimes. It has to be relegation and much further down than the Championship.

Agreed. Basically saying do what you want for a decade but then take a gap year before doing it again.

Yep, and then they get to draw a line under it and carry on as if nothing has happened, all built on the back of revenue they should never have earnt.

For me if they're not taking titles off them, and checking long term, then don't bother.

It depends on “if it is proven”. Do you think UAE is waiting to see on what the conclusion of investigation will be? They are going to rig the investigation process and declare them not guilty. Hence the scenario of other clubs crying foul wont even happen.

The PL have no say where City end up outside of not in the PL, they have no authority over the football league so can't say for example "Down to League 2 with them" etc.. they can either dock enough points for relegation to the Championship or they can expel City from the PL which then puts where City get placed in the hands of the football league. The football league could then put them where they want or could even opt not to take them which would see City pushed below the conference North and South... then it's on to the next organisation etc... But the punishment City get will either be a deduction or expulsion, the PL can't decide on anything outside of that.
