Daily Mail and several others saying that “insiders” report to them that the Premier League is pushing to announce punishments before the appeal had been completed, sometime in the next 6-8 weeks.

Most likely punishment includes:

- a “massive” fine
- a “massive” points deduction designed to assure their demotion to the championship
- a continuation of that points deduction designed to make sure they can’t promote from the championship during that first season.

I don't think the FA has the balls to give that much punishment. They deserve a very hard punishment, but I don't think they get it.

I think they do the announcement, then settle a deal and say “See? We were serious!”

0 chance any of that is true. Nothing leaked from the independent committee for 3+ years, I doubt they start leaking info now

PL can recommend charges, but the committee will hand out the penalty independently

Man U “influencer” or whatever the frick he is Mark Goldbridge has been losing his fricking mind since this all broke. It’s glorious to see. You should have seen his commentary during the Manchester Derby. I thought he was gonna have a stroke.

frick him. And frick Carragher and all those moppets and mingers and gits and Billy-no-mates motherfrickers.

This actually has hit my algos on YT and it's amazing. I watched one melt about Man U's big brother and now I see daily shorts about him melting about little brother.

Another expansion of the stadium was a farce

Keep expanding it and struggled to fill it before the first one.

Nobody likes Goldbridge, especially other United tubers and pundits. That's not even his real name.

He is right about many things, but he is a whiny bitch.

In all fairness though, everybody is losing their minds over this frickery. He just has a huge platform.

But everything is fine since 2018 stop trying to strike up a conspiracy theory dagnabbit

Besides all the financial malfeasance has nothing to do with winning it on the pitch you noobs

You think the money scored those goals

I was reading a thread about this on Reddit just now. Many of the actual soccer fans (fans of other clubs, obviously) are saying there may be potential limits on what authority the EPL has outside of the EPL. Apparently the EPL (and the commission, vicariously) may not have the authority to issue points deductions in the EFL, and the EFL doing anything would be a completely separate process that would have to start from scratch. Also any points deductions can't be carried over, so it could be 1M points deduction and next year they start at 0 like everyone else.

Lots of them are floating multi-year EPL points deductions as a response.

I imagine the fine is going to be huge, like hundreds of millions of dollars, basically as a fine and claims settlement process for other EPL teams. That way they kill 2 birds with one stone and don't have this dragged out in court and having it come back up year after year. It would also permit a much easier process for alleged aggrieved teams to get their money more quickly.

They are certainly going to be threatened with a deduction that threatens relegation, but the multiple year punishment gets into iffy legal territory. Would they risk having all teh punishments voided by being too aggro and irrational/

I imagine there will be transfer restrictions and accounting oversight. Some sort of probation with another massive points deduction hanging over their heads is something I imagine they explore. This would regulate future conduct and give the transfer restrictions and oversight teeth.

I was half-arse on the "keep Trafford" bandwagon for his feet but Donna made some brilliant saves last season.

He's been arse this season and oddly enough his feet aren't what's killing us. Guehi has had some real boneheaded plays lately too.
