I read them all too and then remembered it makes no odds as it’ll be 2078 by the time it’s sorted and nothing will come of it anyway.
Closer to home and more recently, Saracens breached the cap 3 times in a row, won 4 out of 5 titles similar to City..
They were relegated, but kept their titles.
I expect a similar 'deal' may be reached with City, back to the Championship for a year.
Tainted titles... yes... Will it make a difference? No.
Saracens were back up within a year.
Only way it'd work would be to have a Juve style sanction, and the Premier League won't have the bollocks for that.
And they also have to buy us Bellingham.
I'd like to see a bunch of law suits brought forward by clubs & players affected by this. This is the chance for the PL to feel pressure to adjudicate.
- Clubs to sue for loss of income - e.g. prize money 'lost', sponsorship opportunities lost, european prize money where they missed out on qualification.
- Managers to sue for loss of earnings - bonuses for finishing positions
- Players to sue for loss of earnings - bonuses for finishing positions, sponsorship deals etc.
They’d be setting a precedent for everyone to do the same and if caught still keep their spoils.
One of the possible punishments is that the they can decide a punishment... So nothing is off the table as such
you couldn't make this shit up
[article]. Yeah, and our owner and management team have been under fire for the majority of that period, its basically racism. There's no excuse for it.
This is the bloke that provided funding for Barclays Bank during the 2008 banking crisis. Think on that... if Barclays had gone under or had to be nationalised this country would have been in unprecedented shite.
The same bloke thats involved in rebalancing his countries economy away from fossil fuels with huge investment programmes in stuff that matters such as water, telecoms, green energy etc. All real things which will have positive impact on the world in the future.
And so the PL gimps get in bed with a bunch of American frat boy hedge fund wankers that are basically no better than your local Harold Penk bookie. These are the people calling the shots now in our sport (and plenty of other things). [/article]

There’s a clause that allows the commission to hand out whatever punishment they believe is appropriate (the sanctions mentioned are basically indicative). Also worth noting that even if the commission doesn’t eject them from the League, the other teams can vote to chuck them out (think it needs 15 teams to agree, from memory - I looked at it over the Superleague fiasco).
EDIT - whooshed by @Irishanfield - sorry mate!
[article]The English Football League (EFL) would have no obligation to accept Manchester City in the extraordinary event the club were expelled from the Premier League over alleged breaches of financial rules, Telegraph Sport understands.

I wonder how much of this is to do with Liverpool

give it to gordon
On what grounds did they decide to investigate City ? What made them think City must be cheating ?
do they investigate every PL club this deeply ? If not than it is a clear case of a witch hunt.
What is the pl views on money laundering for guns as shirt sponsors ?

You Expained it better 😉
It's very unlikely we'll be given any retrospective titles should they be found guilty.
But at a minimum I would want to see their titles stripped from them and the season considered void.
Otherwise, you basically just green light cheating, if you get to keep your ill-gotten gains.

I know some fans would be jumping around and having a wank if we were given retrospective titles but they would bring me no joy... Just void the winners
I like how their premise is there couldn't be something wrong. How could there be some suspicion of cheating when a club with no fan base at all suddenly had commercial revenues that were as high as united. Why did anyone even suspect anything? I can't wrap my head around it.
If course it wouldn't bring much joy, but there's no joy in this either way. They've ruined a decade of a competition. They still got to have their sad excuse for a parade. Taking the titles away isn't a punishment, it's just fair. The punishment begins after that and should be severe.
If they cheated? We know they cheated. We just don't know whether they'll get away with it again.
The obsession with us continues

i wjust wish if we are innocent we burn the house down anyway once and for all? Fuck NDA`S with regards the dippers hacking etc and just expose everything?
When we caught the dippers hacking, we surely held something back from the settlement in case of something like this. Is probably the right time to get the special file out of the cupboard and go postal [/article]
Hacking lol
We sign two coaches who logged in using their old password. How stupid were city for not changing it....

Lol. I'm just trying to do the whole "innocent until proven guilty", but it's been obvious, hasn't it?
I really should be saying "if they are found guilty" because like you say, we know they probably are. It's just whether their lawyers can find another couple of loopholes or technicalities for them to escape punishment again.
I don't see anything getting revised from the past. Too messy for the authorities to bother with.
The worst for them/best for everyone else is that they get kicked out of the Premier League, but I can't see that either to be honest.
Most likely would be points deductions and a transfer ban. Even that would end up being appealed away to a fine, which is useless really.

There is also the build on effect which is difficult to quantify. Maybe Rodgers's career would have looked a lot different with that one PL title in his bag. If we had won multiple premier leagues, the confidence boost it would have given us.
Who knows, maybe FSG would have sanctioned a midfield purchase. OK ok, I know I went a bit too far there and stretched my luck a little bit.
There's no way he doesn't know what's happening here ...
I don't think anything will happen. However, if they do get punished it'll be just our luck that nothing will happen retrospectively. The greatest team we had in decades were shafted out of titles and then city get punished now that the rivals have caught up with us.
cuz he’s desperate to come play in the not even Europa league rather than the champions league for sunny Madrid on 400k a week.
No Jude for us.
