I hope there are no other Clubs out there with suspicious looking training ground sponsorship or (imaginary) Stadium naming rights.

My thoughts too. I hope their shitting their pants.

 

This could be a watershed moment in football.

It's going to VAR....and....

[Trumo]

If a team must be stripped of a title for flouting regulations, it should go to the team that finished immediately below them or lost to them in a final. I know it's not the best way for another team to be awarded a title, but the authorities - having chased the money for so long and promoted their 'product' to such an extent that millions of pounds have poured in from all over the globe - cannot really afforded to void entire seasons.

Let them keep their titles, rather win it than be awarded it.

Relegation to league 2 sounds fine though

Sheffield United in the CL at City’s expense would be the funniest and greatest thing EVER!!!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Players will want to leave and City could easily lose out on their true worth as everyone else knows they can take the piss with offers. Would City force players to stay who wouldn't give a fuck? Not like they are mentally strong as it is.

 

It will be hard to attract anybody new who has visions of going to a decent run club, unless they start paying huge wages to money grabbing players, but UEFA/FIFA etc will have an eye on everything.

 

No CL/European money for two years, no way will they fill their stadium, struggle now, if anything their crowds will probably drop dramatically. 

 

Owners could easily sell up and move onto their next bent PR stunt. 

 

Fuck them...I can't stop smiling.

I just wouldn't want it. Void the season. 

 

European Championship? Fuck me they'll be banned from Wimbledon next 

I fucking want it. That said they'll have to give Man U a title too i think for 2012 so they can fuck off.

PSG right about now

It's the Everton fans I feel sorry for, they are the real victims in this.

If anyone thinks this will stand i have some magic beans for sale......

There is supposed to be an ongoing investigation  from the FA, Premier league, UEFA and FIFA.  Unless this is the outcome of all investigations there should be more to follow....

Well thats if the domestic associations have the balls.....

The head of La Liga (backed by the big two, you'd imagine), as well as Bayern, Manchester United and Liverpool are all meant to be backing UEFA themselves. Endless money or not, that's some serious political clout they're up against. And they've admitted guilt previously for the same type of offence.

They ain't getting away with it. UEFA should double the ban and fine for the cheeky cunts. 

[Bruce Spanner]

If, and it’s a big fucking if, they are investigated and found in breach of FA rules then it will get very messy. What about prize money, sponsorships because of winning, win bonuses for players, teams they’ve knocked out of cups and their loss of earnings plus a myriad of other financial payments.

 

Are they all repaid/returned?

 

This would be incredibly messy and it’s amazing!

Classy... 

 

In 2014, the IC determined that City had a deficit of €180m over that two year period, vastly in excess of the €45m permitted, and in May that year agreed a settlement which some at Uefa believed was too lenient. A day before that, the former chair of the IC, Jean-Luc Dehaene, a distinguished former prime minister of Belgium and senior European Union politician, died aged 73, survived by his wife of 49 years and their four children. Spiegel quoted Cliff’s reaction to this news in an internal email, referring to the membership of the IC: “1 down, 6 to go.”

Burning question is can Sterling do it away to Barnsley on a damp Tuesday evening?
