It's the conference north he should be asking.
It's has been planned to be the main Morgue site for any type of mass casualty event in Manchester. If you ever see chinook helicopters landing there then some VERY serious shit has gone down.
Jokes have always been made that the City ground was chosen as the "lack of atmosphere" would help preserve the bodies!
I think a total expulsion from the league is the only fair outcome - City "joined" an organisation called the premier league and then systematically broke th rules of that organisation for years and actively fought against investigations once found out.
I've seen a few people "count up" respective trophies being re-allocated to United or Liverpool in this period but other clubs would surely claim that their results against City be declared null and void. City must have inflicted some heavy defeats on teams that resulted in them getting relegated...missing out on Europe...Champions league etc.
I think the tables should stand but City get the trophy and title revoked. No Trophies in UK or European football and a permanent mark against the club as it starts it's way back in whatever level of the football pyramid is willing to accept them (if any).

Any updates on this?
Case finished but we at waiting for a verdict in early 2025?

Case is not close to finished, they said a minimum of 10 weeks probably closer to around 14, so will likely be finished near Christmas. No idea how long before results though.

They really are without shame, I used to think the scousers had a monopoly on it but these deluded twats have taken it to another level, and the less said about their knuckle dragging fanbase the better..
They remind me of people who hack Call of Duty lobbies and win games by ridiculous margins because they're using aimbot, godmode and damage hacks.
They then gloat about the win whilst conveniently ignoring the fact that they cheated to obtain it, even though deep down they know it doesn't really count for anything. Just sad, insecure, pathetic individuals.
12-1 odds to get relegated at the bookies.
It should be massive odds on.
Kind of worrying that even bookies aren’t giving shorter odds.
Surely it’s obvious they have actually broken every rule in the book regarding finances?
Please let’s not have city getting away with this, because the game is already gone
There is absolutely zero chance they will get relegated. Will be total points deduction per charge split over the years of the charges made (think it was 2008-2015? So 7 years) so if they get a 70 point fine split 7 times, meaning for the next 7 season they start on -10 points.
I’m wondering if should I start looking for another sport to watch in case this goes in City’s favour. Now is a good time too as United are shitting the bed most games they play.
Non-league football is the way forward. Plenty of clubs to choose from and the crowds are decent craic for the main part, even if the football is sometimes not the best.
You’re probably right. The passion to want to play the game is there to see at the lower levels. Cheaper to go to. I started watching footy at lower level and it was great fun. It’s all about who you go with and the odd moment of brilliance or absurdity.
It doesnt help me now though as I’m in Southern California.

Fair enough, I thought after I'd typed the suggestions is useless if you live in certain locations. Is there any equivalent in the states? Maybe College level? The crowds for College "Football" look brilliant.
Don’t jump out of the frying pan into the fire….
You might find City in the non-league soon!!
Surely just a way to get a load of bet money in, knowing that expulsion is the most likely outcome which would technically not be a relegation?
Hopefully they go in at a level where it's regional, and I won't see them at the local ground I usually visit
Going to be a long process isn't it.
I still think it would've been better for transparency and trust in the game if this had been a public hearing.
That's what I was gonna say. I don't think they can actually be relegated to League One, but they can be expelled from the PL - I'm sure bookies would use that as a technicality to not pay out.
When Aguero scored i kicked the kitchen counter where the TV is on and snapped it and broke a metatarsal in my foot broke the TV aswell and wasnt able to finish my sunday roast probably one of worst moments of my life
We don't know exactly how this will pan out but I'd be amazed if they did it the way you lay out above.
Sadly yeah, I'd expect a decision around February which is complete mess for the state of the league. Imagine City have played team a twice and team b once. Get docked like 100 points. We have the awkward situation of a City team on holiday potentially deciding CL, UEFA, Relegation places etc... The skeptic in me thinks we might not get the result till the season ends to avoid said scenario.
Nor for me obviously but for the PL the best result if City are guilty would be someone else (Liverpool or Arsenal winning the league on the pitch) and all relegation and Europe being sorted with the exception of moving City based on the punishment.
These are the sort of civil claims City will be facing when their cheating is proven, again.
They are tremendous fun but I find it hard to get into the American football, despite having lived here for ages.
They have plenty of less popular sports that may interest me though. And at nearby universities.
What about other American sports, like baseball, basketball, and (ice) hockey?
Never in a million years will they apportion punishment per season.
If for no other reason than City would no doubt rather a 200 point deduction in one season. Get relegated, then promoted. Then challenge again.
No interest. I tried them but too many breaks for ads for my liking.
fecking ridiculous. So clubs can just make up sponsors. Absolutely stupid.
Ineos 1 billion / year sponsor coming for United then
Good for them, they can make up a bunch of sponsors next year with all that spare time they will have in the Vanarama
Is this the same case as the 115 charges?
Edit: nothing to do with it.

Unbelievable Jeff 
A win for the little guys.
How does one love this game these days…
This is probably good for us in all fairness. Shit for smaller teams, but good for the likes of United.
The end of the beginning for the premier league.
Its credibility is on its knees.
