Gillingham should sue them too.

I predict that Pep, Harlaand, Grealish, the Arabs and the rest of the money hunting twats will be gone before the descion is announced and City will be playing in front of 2000 in Div 4 or whatever it is called these days.

Whatever the punishment is if the charges are proven, it has to be pretty draconian. Like, relegation not just to the Championship, but right to the bottom of the ladder.

 

The reason why it has to be that severe is that you can't have a club cheating for that length of time, distorting a competition where everyone else is playing by the rules. If the punishment isn't massively severe then City will feel the cheating was worth it (because it will have been). You have to hit them with something that shows cheating isn't worth it.

I've read a few pieces from journalists where they've outlined the potential punishments and then added that they don't think it would come down to any of the more serious punishments such as relegation or stripped titles occurring. But what would be the point of any of the lesser punishments? They won't care about any fines, no matter how big. Even a one-off points deduction would be no deterrent; one future season being a write-off would make over a decade of success seem well worth it. The hope is that the other clubs would insist that any punishment has to be so severe that no other club would ever just brazenly break all the rules again.

This clubs been cheated out of league titles, Klopp has been cheated. we are now run into the ground after trying to keep up with the biggest cheats in the game.

Oil states are not in this for profit. They want to legitmise the state through the worlds premier sport. Make them look like cheating cunts and they will all piss off.

Yeah, you’d hope so. What good is sportswashing if it actually further damages reputation?

They’ll probably dig their heels in, though, given the arrogance displayed to date.

The divide and conquer has been great for City too. Plenty of abuse that FSG have gotten from our fanbase should really be directed elsewhere.

 

(They still shouldn’t have run the squad into the ground over the last two years, obviously.)

To be fair, they've always had a solid support. Success hasn't spoiled them, the money and the unaccountable nature of how they as a club go about things, has brought about this  detestable face of Manchester City.

Thing is, they aren't. Not like that anyway. What they did was and is unprecedented.

Even Chelsea are doing their mental transfer spending very openly in full public view.

Giving up and running away with their tails between their legs would be more embarrassing. I think they'll fight it with everything they have.

No, they wont. No one cares about City.

Not breaking the rules though by all accounts, just exploiting a loophole that is soon to be closed. City just blatantly broke every rule in the FFP book.
