They can't appeal in this case. As has been said this is the PL reputation at stake, get the punishment wrong and it's reputation would be in the mud.
City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with 130 FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th Sep 2024 | Concluded 9th Dec 2024 - Awaiting outcome
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
Kaveh from sky sports saying they have broke the rules of FFP in the league over 100 times last 9 years. A light punishment will not bode well to ward off new investors doing the same thing City have done.
Well this is a complete shock.......Said no-one ever.
About time these absolute frauds were exposed properly.

They should speak to Red Bull's lawyers.
In fact there's the next shirt sponsor.

There is no way City escape a points deduction with what happened barely weeks ago to Juventus. Would make a mockery of the FA and the PL. Titles will stay but i think they will get double digits points penalty.
Plastic club gonna plastic.
Its at such a volume, if they found 100 you can bet theres at least triple that in reality, that I wonder if players are going to start having trouble in the industry.
I mean, if you are kane, some of the current scouse team, there are city players who have taken titles off you, took chances for trophies and playing the CL away from you, and looked you in the eye like they are your mate at England meetups. All the while knowing, because they were likely in reciept of under the table payments themsleves, City were cheating.

Outrageous accusations and certain to be a fine that could rise to the....tens of thousands.
Reduced to £2,000 payable over 8 years.

So how many titles are we getting ?
The commission will have the chance to make up opinion in a short trip to Abu Dhabi. They will recognize the open dealing with money and find a fair solution.
Yep, also their wage bill would need some extreme "trimming" with a lower league level income and sponsorships- least not because i would assume most of their current sponsors are those inflated/fake ones who've gotten them in trouble!
yep
One single relegation ruins them. Its also real possibility looking at it
What fantastic news to wake up to, can’t believe there were people who seriously thought they were just a well run club ffs 
Absolutely embarrassing
This is unprecedented, so it depends how big of a mark the PL wants to leave on them.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised if the lawyers of other teams step in and add some pressure about the harm that’s been caused (titles, CL & EL qualifications, transfer targets etc).

If this were true, it wouldn't have got this far and they'd have escaped charges in the first place. There was no public pressure for this and it has caught most people by surprise.
It won’t be a fine for that reason
this is an unprecedented amount of breaches never seen before in world football

i think it will be extreme for City and will ruin them
Oh, you sweet summer child...
They all know what is required to get big things done in Europe - grease the ruling class. Just that the gulf states are more egregious when it comes to money. I am actually wondering if this ruling has been made because of geopolitics. The gulf states aren't singing the anglosphere's hymn sheet.
Why everyone avoiding what the premier league doing, and just pretending nothing will happen.
The CAS situation was completely different, got off with technicalities.
This is the premier league itself, different statutes, main media news, over 100 charges etc.
Their is nothing comparable to this ever from memory.

In an arbitration case, as one of the parties you are entitled to nominate an independent arbiter. That's how it works.
That's a completely different process to the appointment of an independent commission, of which City will have zero influence over its composition.
I do remember some headlines from the past while United did nothing criminal in spending department. It went something like: Man United destroying football, Ed Woodward and his crazy policy etc... while City literally were buying titles.Imagine the uproar if this was us
Finally someone shines a light on it in 2023.
So they key thing now is stopping them getting their own people appointed to this independent panel.
What’s the most serious breach for you? You seem clued up!
"City are surprised by these charges and alleged breaches"
Just a laughable club
Just a laughable club
We're going to League 2 if all those charges stick.
Surely the PL will appoint those?
Who? Their fans? All 6 of them?
How would you even be able to tell who is “their people”, nothing a few envelopes with some nice birthday wishes couldn’t solve.
It seems the precedent set is a two league relegation, surely not though?
Well it was obvious. What's not understood is how the fk Chelsea are getting away with it
That's how you end up in jail, at the moment their just getting relegated.
Imagine if United won the league with OGS as manager
Have they made a statement yet?
The Ole thread revisionism would be quite something
I read somewhere it's an independent commission, not entirely sure if that means the league won't be the one deciding the punishment.
Doesn't matter - he didn't say he would walk if they told him the truth about cheating. So as long as they were honest, he would be ok
Seems any punishment is a while off yet, definitely not this season
They absolutely can and will appeal, there's absolutely no doubt about that.
