Hopefully Mansour will get bored with his little soccer project and just feck off.
City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches | Hearing begins 16th September 2024
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
Points deduction seems like the fairest punishment.
I don’t like all this talk of retrospective title stripping/awarding. It’ll just feel hollow to benefit from it, like the scousers covid title it’ll always have a * next to it. No chance it happens anyway. At this rate I’d be happy for them to get a European ban or a transfer ban etc.
Points deductions in the relevant seasons please. Starting with 11/12
a 2 window transfer ban would make it interesting. could see Pep walk.
City have been trying to stop this being reported and investigated in the public eye for years with injunctions.
They’ll get a little fine and that’ll be it. Nothing ever happens of note to them.
This seems to happen every other year and results in sweet feck all happening each and every time.
Unless they’re docked points or transfer window bans, I am not interested.
Relegation please.
Liverpool too.
Liverpool too.
It would be completely pointless, I agree. The squad that was assembled won the league that year, and financial doping shouldn't retrospectively change that. Much better to throw the kitchen sink at them going forward. Might also slow down Saudi Arabia masquerading as Newcastle a bit.
The number of times these have been charged but the wankers in the media keep licking their arses.
They have cheated their way into relevancy.

This was a 4 year investigation so I’d imagine they think they have good evidence to convict them. Anyway we all know city are a club that’s been breaking rules since they got taken over, joke the league has done nothing until 2023.
Possible sanctions if charges are proven: sponsoring FA and PL Christmas parties for the next 10 years!
Love this clip.
They have the best squad in world football would a 12 month transfer ban even be noticed?
just for good measure.I dont see why everyone is getting excited. Its the same stuff that happened with CL. City will not be punished, a fine may come their way which is nothing to them.
Business as usual.
Business as usual.
They’ve been proven to have broken the rules in 8 consecutive seasons from 2010 to 2018, so I can’t see them wanting to change history to any great extent. I’m with you, much better to punish them going forward.
They are worse cheats than Juventus, who just got 15 points deductions and are likely to see the 19/20 title being stripped and awarded to Inter... City should probably lose some of their titles as well (And we might get 2 of them, one for Mourinho 2018 and one for Olé 2021).
what, City of all clubs?!? I am absolutely shocked. SHOCKED!
Man, this season is just the gift that keeps on giving. Do Chelsea next
Should be automatic relegation for Man City and Liverpool for enabling them by being competitive.
As much as I hate Liverpool, there is a respect there for what they have done without cheating. City is just cheating.
What is hilarious is if they had patience they could have easily done it legit and got through via loopholes, but no they had to be greedy fecks.
And also 15 points deduction for Arsenal as they have strong connection with City (Arteta, Jesus, Zinchenko).
In before the city fans arguing little old Abu Dhabis honour. This shit has been clear for a decade and plenty of us have lost our energy even talking about it. Theyll buy the CL this season as planned and any action has come too late
That's why it doesn't matter if they win the league, its just empty.
Pts deduction is out of the question. PL will not want the title race to be over with 18 games to go.
So what we thinking?
Point deduction?
Transfer ban?
Relegation!?
Huge fines?
Kicked out of Europe?
Removal of their titles?

Can't help but feel we have been here before.
The Premier League only cares about its brand so they won't do anything that harms City as they need strong teams in the league to attract viewers
Beautiful. Should be relegated for this kind of breach and banned from transfer windows for a few years.
They can't not do that if the Italian FA have just done the exact thing to Juve
If the squad was assembled by breaking the rules, then no that squad wouldn’t have otherwise won the league. Let’s field 15 players every match, win the league and claim that well the team that took to the field won the league, so let it stand. No, they broke the rules either way. Without the alleged financial doping they wouldn’t have won those leagues. They should be stripped of them and also be punished going forward. They’re in a better position now to go forward thanks to the benefits of them breaking the rules in the past.
Isn't this the same complaint that was originally lodged against them and they appealed? Now it's come back because the appeal has failed?
6 premier league titles, tarnished by cheating and stolen from other clubs
Rangers kept all theres in Scotland despite financially doping for years and going out of business. Juventus something similar in Italy.
They’re cheats and thieves but low key thanks to them for ruining Liverpool’s golden era.
Come on, you've got Barcelona being fecked by La Liga, Juventus being fecked by Serie A, you think they won't have a lot to say to UEFA is the FA don't keep their end of the bargain?
