Compensation can wait. Just get the cheaters kicked out of the league.
Neither do Liverpool's really in the grand scheme of things.
This cheating regime cheated Utd out of at least 3 titles, which funnily enough is pretty much the same as what they cheated Liverpool out of. Despite them being a much better side than Utd for the best part of a decade.
Wanting cheats to win is just plain weird to me, yeah, they might end up being stripped, but ultimately I think they won't be punished anywhere near as harshly as we'd like to see.
The compensation talk has to expand beyond the PL, as those relegated in lieu of cheats occupying their rightful place surely warrants the biggest wedge as time - especially extensive and outside the parachute payments - will have potentially cost them 100’s of millions.
I’ll be the odd one out then, I’d rather have a non-cheating league, even if it means Liverpool winning.
Rivalry and hate aside, fairness in competition is way more important for me. Also if it hurts.
Every club who plays by the book should be awarded for it always, it goes both ways. City’s presence has been cribbling the fair teams including both United and Liverpool in the league for so many years.
Absolutely, I personally wanted Klopp’s Liverpool side to take titles off the cheating cnuts but absolutely understood that the majority saw a City title as a nothing event, a Lance Armstrong Tour de France if you like.
@B20 should be well aware that the huge majority of United fans on the caf want club Abu Dhabi hit with the hardest of punishments, despite knowing that will likely lead to more titles for Liverpool.
Yeah that's a very valid concern
I think it'll have the oppisite effect though, clubs being vocal about it makes it more difficult for the Premier League to brush it under the carpet.
They do to a lot of people, unfortunately. This is just copium.
They also don't mean anything to a lot of people.
True. But unfortunately the history books will count them if they don’t get their rightful comeuppance.
PL’s reputation will be absolutely bulldozed if they allow City to walk all over them for much longer.
City are basically are taking to mick now, their behaviour is a disgrace and its about time the other clubs called for them to be thrown out of the league or just refused to play them
It’s just noise.
It’s noise from City (bullies, desperate) that’s amplified by Keegan and Samuels… £££.
They’re toast.
Why not just boycott them? That would be the most effective course of action.
Yeah their reputation is totally on the line
I've seen some flimsy conspiracy theories in my time but Red cartel is some serious straw clutching.
Deluded twats making up a fairy tale to absolve themselves from their own lack of moral fibre.

No home fans allowed into any of their...oh...never mind.
The fact that they are including Totenham in that group had me gasping for air...
Absolutely this.
If rules are changed to stop other clubs from doing a City again, it’s going to be forever unfair.
I say change the rule AND punish City so that they’ll be back at pre-rule. That’s the only fair outcome for fairness.

Sounds like bullshit to me. There’s no appeals avenue for this.
There is, they get 1 appeal
14 people and a dog is not a lot
When you in an exclusive club that technically invites you in, trying to attack said club probably isn't going to go particularly well for you.
The Premier League should grow some balls and just expell them without reason and watch as they go into panic mode firing lawyer after lawyer at the premier league.
What's their biggest threat in the event this actually happened? PL is blocked in Abu Dhabi? Oasis announce additional tour dates? Someone releases Paul Dickov from his cage?
I'm guessing they can't do this legally, otherwise they would have.
Tbh I'm not sure. I would think it's possible though should there be enough will to do so. I think it's the clubs themselves who would decide and every club has agreed to the rules in order to participate.
So if the usual 14 club rule applies, and 14 clubs voted to expel City without reason, I presume they could.
Munch, munch
On this basis, please stop using this person as a source for important information in this thread. @RedRocket9908 etc.
What I’m trying to say is that their success will gain them a lot of fans. Which could easily hurt us in the long term.
Which us, and how?
Us as in Manchester United. It could hurt us as we could fade into obscurity.
You're joking, right?
Or any thread, really...
I doubt he could get the next 5-minute weather forecast right.
Apart from losing the easiest lawsuit ever seen, being forced to invite them back and pay damages? Not much.
