The extrapolation for City, which is often missed in counterpoints is that: no matter what the rules are, they have and will actively break them, so it doesn’t matter what implementation there is; it’s going to be circumvented anyway.It is possible but you'll probably win nowt
Only way is a transfer and salary cap which I don't think any of the old g14 clubs would ever be in favour of, the Champions League expansion has distorted every major League in Europe, it's all fecking shit and there is no way of bolting that door now, no matter how many charges city are guilty of (which will be most) there is no way of leveling the playing field and that started with the G14's greed, as soon as money becomes involved in sporting events you can guarantee people will look to exploit that, we're basically Frankenstein's monster created by the g14 clubs greed who wanted a close shop
I’d quite welcome a breakaway league. Not the Super League, though.Anyone else finished with football if they don't get a proper punishment? Feel like it's all a bit pointless if they get away with it.
You would think that clubs individually won't stand for a soft punishment so this is a possibility.I’d quite welcome a breakaway league. Not the Super League, though.
I would imagine the record would remain untouched as Juve’s are. I would love a song from every terrace to remind them in perpetuity they are cheats, akin to the “dirty Leeds’” everyone knows, old or young.Still think they'll be relegated but come back up straight away Juve style. Probably with--3 points for each proven charge or just being moved to 20th. No idea what they'd do with historical results.
They might need the FA cup to be in Europe, in the championship... Could also mean 2nd is enough this year and 3rd bottom.
I don't think it's overstating it to say it's about the last chance for football to salvage some credibility. Need to be absolutely hammered, will get a slap on the wristAnyone else finished with football if they don't get a proper punishment? Feel like it's all a bit pointless if they get away with it.
Huh, didn't Juventus get stripped of several titles?I would imagine the record would remain untouched as Juve’s are. I would love a song from every terrace to remind them in perpetuity they are cheats, akin to the “dirty Leeds’” everyone knows, old or young.
One, I think. Which was not given to any other club. Also, for match fixing rather than financial doping. I know both are cheating, but, you know how it will go…Huh, didn't Juventus get stripped of several titles?
It feels like for a long while no-one seemed to care as it was pretty much United getting upset by City's emergence.You would think that clubs individually won't stand for a soft punishment so this is a possibility.
It's not even just the PL either, now other European teams must be fretting about their emergence. They could easily dominate the CL with their resources, especially if they get away with the 115 charges.It feels like for a long while no-one seemed to care as it was pretty much United getting upset by City's emergence.
I was always surprised Arsenal didn't care more when they kept cherry picking their players.
But now, other teams seem to get what's gone on. Took them long enough.
Yep, you definitely know that Real Madrid and Barcelona be monitoring this with interest.It's not even just the PL either, now other European teams must be fretting about their emergence. They could easily dominate the CL with their resources, especially if they get away with the 115 charges.
The problem is even if a few hardcore supporters and old times become finished with the league, there are millions that won't be finished with it and are satisfied with the status quo. City and the officials know that and they have crunched the numbers. It's all about money not competition or catering to genuine knowledgeable supporters.Anyone else finished with football if they don't get a proper punishment? Feel like it's all a bit pointless if they get away with it.
Yup. fecking ABU’s. If it had been Liverpool who were dominant back then, they’d have been up in arms.It feels like for a long while no-one seemed to care as it was pretty much United getting upset by City's emergence.
