Going on record to say nothing will happen to them


I wouldn’t be that cynical. My guess is a hefty fine:£100,000,000? Maybe more. Vacate titles, which would make “Agueroooooo!” Null and void, and that would make me sad. I don’t think they would retroactively award titles to runners-up. Also, a hefty points deduction, but one that would still give them a chance to stay up.

People calling for expulsion or relegation to League 2 are living in dream land. Imagine the NFL expelling the KC Chiefs or The Cowboys or The Steelers. EFL needs City as much as it needs ManU or Liverpool or Arsenal. It would be stupid to expel them. This isn’t like Juventus who were literally fixing matches and paying refs. (We all know the Premier League fixes matches without teams having to do it. )

pump the brakes, let’s not compare an oil institution Johnny come lately to some founding league members

The top division existed while man city was shite and will exist after they are shite

False the EPL wants the star power, if they do get expelled the star power in that side will go back to the EPL to different sides or go to some other champions league sides

Huge fine
Probably 15ish point deduction
Probably a transfer embargo for at least a year



My guy Khaldoon will probably find a way to sort it out

EPL has warned them if they appeal and lose, the penalties will by far harsher. Other top clubs are already lining up to sue. MC is in deep shite here. They'll be playing against Sheffield United, Preston and Blackburn Rovers next season.

frick them they’re just as big POS as city to the rest of the FA. There aren’t any good guys in the big 6. It’s all a cartel to the have nots.

I hope city gets off with a slap on the wrist because at least they embrace it.

They still won the titles on the field, just like Reggie Bush won the Heisman (and I hated USC from that era)

Vacate whatever you want, but you can't erase what actually happened

I think teams should sue.



That would honestly be hilarious.

-Chelsea and City get new owners who inject life into their clubs
-The old guard says, "whoooooaa now, not cool, you can't spend money on the club you own."
-FFP protects the red cartel under the guise of "keeping clubs solvent" to avoid another Leeds situation
-United owners load the club with debt but it's cool because taking on a shite load of debt is OK as long as it's within the rules to prevent clubs from taking on too much debt
-City skirt the rules, inject cash
-United (1.1 BILLION in debt) sues City for breaking said rules to keep clubs solvent

Rodri - “what we did they can NOT take from us”

Narrator - “but they did take it from us”

It is amazing

The best part is how City is a model of how to run an operation now. The barriers to entry were artificial to protect the old clubs, and now that City has gotten past that, the old clubs are flailing and City is dominating.

The funniest part is how a bunch of Americans who have no connection to these clubs are feigning like they're mortally wounded that barriers to entry to clubs they LARP as supporters of were eroded by accounting tricks.
