Odds on passing?
Surely, these sportwashing nations will put massive pressure on the officials to not approve.
Or perhaps they come to some underhanded agreement where 51% of the club mysteriously sold to XYZ while the nation retains <49% or less, even though XYZ is just another front of sorts, or a business partner in cahoots with.

Ohhh yes. Let's have it
Probably won't pass but football needs it to. These sportwashing cnuts are a blight on the game.
This would be great if it happened but unfortunately the Independant Regulator is illegal under FIFA rules so it probably wont end up happening
They let Newcastle's owners take over on the understanding it wasn't a state owned job.
So f they couldn't prove it then, how could they now?

Stores will be running out of manilla envelopes!
But neither the Premier League nor UEFA are governed by FIFA?
Change of UK government.
They could abolsutely prove it then but they were most likely pressured by Bojo and his band of morons otherwise known as the British government of the time.
They've struggled to bring City to trial over absolutely outrageous shenanigans, so i can't imagine they'll be able to chase out City and Newcastle owners anytime tis lifetime.
They shouldn't threaten us with a good time if they don't plan on following through.
They would need government help was my point.
At the very least it should be easy enough to get a ban on any future states ownership over the line.
Couldn't they bypass this fairly easily by making the holding company privately owned by someone who is a puppet for the governing families?
Hopefully they keep delaying this verdict until the summer.
Don't want them being able to take the points deduction this season which has already got away from them.

On Bluemoon, a Poster that has over 20,000 posts and been registered since 2008 has written this today,
Sorry to put a dampener on things this morning after getting back to winning ways but just thought I’d share this. One of our lot was telling me last night that he heard on Sunday from someone at Anfield that 50-odd charges have fallen away but they’re going to find against us on some of the others, and we’re getting a 40 point deduction. Now if this “someone” was a random bloke, then obviously I wouldn’t even be giving it the time of day, let alone posting it on here. However, we all know or have at least heard of this “someone” - who I won’t name but I’m sure some will be able to work out who it is - and he told my mate that he’d heard this from a contact “high up at the club”.

I bet he was banned instantly for being a rag.
40 point deduction after cheating for a decade and amassing 8 titles and a treble ffs any city fan would bite your hand of for that
Yeah they are getting more than 40 for 60+ charges
That would be pathetic if that was all their punishment is.
It wouldn’t be surprising though. They should be relegated down to the ninth tier at the very least.
That's been the general reaction from other Bluemoon posters;
One of the maddest aspects of this is that most City fans think they are completely innocent of all charges!
35 of the charges are for failing to co-operate!
They are nothing more than brainwashed lemmings
My prediction is that the penalty when announced is painted as being “unprecedented” and “extremely harsh” and City will brief the press that they are “extremely disappointed” and reject the charges in principle but have no choice but to accept them ultimately.
The penalty will be an accumulation of point deductions which the Premier League are “powerless” to do anything other than apply at once, meaning they are all spent in a single season. How many is arbitrary but it will leave them relegated with 0, -10, -100, -1000 points.
That will then leave them free to get promoted and continue as if nothing happened from the following season.
Civil action will then be taken by their rivals for compensation over the last decade. City will threaten to wrap any club that tries it in expensive legal proceedings and ultimately it will be handled as a class action lawsuit with City agreeing to pay a flat rate compensation to all clubs in return for the whole episode to be put to bed and everyone will continue as if nothing happened.

If it's a 40 point deduction next season, they won't even get relegated.
Reading blue moon they have a good point, if they are still doing the hearing, how have they made a decision? I wouldn't take any notice of it
They might even still finish higher than us as we have had 60 and 58 point seasons in recent years.
If they are still going through the closing stages then they cant possibly have made a decision on any of the charges yet (other than any that may have been dismissed during the hearing) and thus cant have decided the punishment for any of them.
Yup this is all it’ll be. An “unprecedented” point reduction (say 40) a “massive” fine (anything up to 40 million let’s say?) and a transfer ban for next season. All very meh considering they cheated their way to repeated success. They have one crap year where they probably still make the EL and win it and then back to shady business as usual. They are win at all cost feckers who pushed the boundaries in every way possible and I fully expect them to be doing the same legally behind the scenes. It’s way beyond cheating.
Pep held up 6 fingers as we all know after losing to Liverpool and was asked if he was similar to Mourinho, to which he replied "No, he won 3 I won 6", Mourinho has now responded in his typical hollywood fashion (Which I love) by saying "Guardiola said something about me... he won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly, if I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent because he was better than me. I don't want to win by dealing with 150 court cases." 
"Just cuz u lost"
Pep went nuclear
Pep went nuclear
"Just cuz u lost"
Pep went nuclear
What is in the brown paper bags Pep is carrying?
How likely is it that they’d be stripped of their titles and those titles be awarded to the runner-ups?
His ego just can’t take it
