I think a fitting punishment should be all of the title and relegation stuff, but with a forced name change to 'cheating bastards fc'.
I'll take suggestions as to the badge imagery.

City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th September 2024
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
Im pretty sure that in the 18 months since City were charged the FA's expensively assembled legal team will have gone over the case with a fine tooth comb ensuring that there are no mistakes or loopholes in it that City could use as an escape route.
If this was going to happen, they would not have given Everton the enema they just did, because it invites comparison so clearly.
The last two punishments have been seen as severe, and that suggests that city are screwed.
They should be relegated and docked a 100 points a season for 5 seasons but it only applies to the PL. So if they gained promotion from the championship they start the PL season on -100 points, once they get relegated again and come back up they start on -100 again. Rinse and repeat.
I think punishment should start from them having to eat shit for dinner for the next 10 years
It can be varied if they want, cow shit, sheep shit, dog shit, I'm not fussed

Sounds reasonable.
''Oh it's goat shit night tomorrow''
To be fair, this is the most notable legacy of that joke of a club.
He's bragging on his website about helping Saudi Arabia get away with torture on a technicality... am I reading that right?
There’s so much City propaganda on social media these days. I keep getting unsolicited bullshit from City accounts. No doubt the brown envelop cnuts are whipping bots into action.Their fans are hyping up their lawyers on Twitter
Fingers and toes crossed.
Surely relegation and a fine to be distributed to the clubs harmed?
Holy shit
There's absolutely no chance of this. Relegation isn't happening either.
In order to not lose face, both parties will agree to a middle ground with City 'making a mistake' and the PL getting a huge fine with maybe a few points docked this season to give City a year without winning the league. Everyone's a winner.
The PL get:
A cash injection and to look like they did something.
Arsenal as champs for a season to make the league look less ridiculous.
City get,:
Away with it, essentially.
I’m sure they would get a slap on the wrist for the least of the 115 charges, get fined 50,000 and the PL will release a statement saying justice prevailed! In a year time when City release their Pep documentary they would claim victimization and racism because they are owned by the Middle East.
PL will be massively mocked and ridiculed if they fine Man City, everyone and their dog knows that is pointless and the same as doing nothing.
He also defended Boris Johnson.
Unsuccessfully
It’s hard to see how they don’t lose this one. They won’t have access to CAS and even if the PL loses on some of the finer points, the failure to co-operate charges are pretty much open and shut. It’s all about what is deemed an appropriate punishment. Given the length of time involved, the scale of what has happened, the level of wilful deceit and the awful consequences, expulsion for at least 5 years seems inevitable. I’ve no interest in claiming PL titles for Jose and Ole, just null and void for everything City has won.
The real fun will start after this process has concluded when the like of United and Liverpool and relegated clubs start suing for loss of revenue due to their cheating. That could see them bankrupted.
Fun times ahead.

I can guarantee you that this absolutely not the case at all
There was a story recently that there may be a statute of limitations on that which City have been trying to drag the process out to reach.
Looking forward to a rousing rendition of "You're not fit to wear the Wig!" when they get expelled from the premier league.This never fails to make me laugh, a banner for a lawyer! What a bunch of fecking weirdos
Personally I think the best way in an ideal world to see justice done is to draw to sets of possible punishments. One that is very harsh and would see City out of the PL for a year or three and the other that would basically ruin Manchester City as a football club for good. Then tell their owners the only way the club gets the former lesser punishement is if they sell up and feck off out of English football.
Of course that will never happen, the PL wouldn't have the stones to rock the boat too much. They usually love corrupt Oil money flowing into the league.

If they get away with it again I think other PL clubs would start refusing to play them, or refuse to follow the rules.
They'll have to be punished. I'm just worried they'll get away with something small like a fine and a transfer ban for a couple of windows, which won't really affect them.
They've brought in Norris from Corrie. It's going to be an interesting few months.
I have a feeling they'll get away with it. Or they'll just get a big fine.
My head says that the Premier League takes a half measure and gives them a 40 point or so deduction, thereby losing the title this season. I don't think they'll be stripped of anything and they'll sit out the champions league for a season then requalify next season not having to play as many games.
The punishments won't be enough for players to get out of contracts but they might lose one or two who are really determined to leave.

How so? It looks like they have
They even have lawyers from the same chamber that City have
Wasn't his first client hung?
This tweeter is an absolute buffoon. The other week he was claiming Chelsea are 'likely to get relegated' because of financial troubles. Why do I have to keep reading his drivel here?
I’m 99.9% certain they won’t.
The emails are true (how obtained doesn’t wash here), City officials said they were real emails.
The only question I can see is how many charges are found guilty and what the punishment is. I’ll be hugely disappointed if main charges proven and they only get say … 30 points deduction.
Then it’s down to how hard the punishment is and whether owners (1) want to continue and (2) are ok with the rep hit (I’m sure they would be).
Because they have a big PSR hole coming up? And because of new “squad costs %” rule?
Whatever's coming up, it is not going to relegate Chelsea. I don't post my wildest fantasies as fact here either.
Because the tweeter is an idiot.
Yep, depressingly that is what I am anticipating as well. I am not going to get my hopes up.
