villa89 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Anyone think this has come out now as a warning to Chelsea and Newcastle not to keep going with the creative accounting to bypass the rules? Seems to me that the PL knew all of this about City for a long time, why didn't they do anything sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 All these charges built up over four years of findings. I cannot see how they can ethically fight these charges. Surely the Premier League are running with this to make an example; the league should be fair and they have taken advantage. A Chief Executive of an unnamed club last night suggested this would be concluded by the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a long time coming and long overdue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tad unfair, seeming there'll be more fans in the away end than in the home end every game. Edited February 7, 2023 by stewiek2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) If the Premier League are serious about punishing Man City they should have Daniel Levy head the independent panel. He'll bankrupt the nation state Edited February 7, 2023 by stewiek2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2023 2 hours ago, LondonLax said: If the Premier League didn’t want to punish Man City they wouldn’t have bothered investigated them and then told us all they have been cheating for years. I don't think anyone is debating that they won't be punished if found guilty. I think we all know they will be, there's no other way around that. The question is the extent of the punishment. I really fail to see the Premier League dishing a punishment out that's more extensive than a hefty fine and maybe a (largely irrelevant) points deduction. I'm obviously completely speculating and not clued up on this type of thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Some lawyers and officials are about to get very very rich, and the Man City wheels will keep turning.

Popular Post Wainy316 Posted February 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2023 Stop crediting Samagoal for the League Cup win. That game against City is scrubbed. We won the cup when we beat Leicester. Honour the true hero... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 1 hour ago, His Name Is Death said: Not just a Tory Britain problem. Plenty of greed and corruption when Blair and Brown were running things and very unlikely to change under Starmer. It's a Labour council that recently let Sheikh Mansour buy up acres of public land in Manchester for seemingly a fraction of its worth. It's a problem that can be solved, but we've never had politicians or legislators with the willingness and gumption to plan and effectively implement any kind of solution. Tory Alert!

All those associated with them should never own or operate a club again, and if the fans want a club they start a phoenix in non-league.

I.e. they take 6 to 10 points off those relegation threatened championship clubs each season. I bet they dont take 20 to 25 off man city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, lots and lots and lots of posters over the previous 15 pages have asserted that nothing at all will be done.
