We’re lucky its not one of the traditional power houses. Do city have the global fanbase of a united or a liverpool yet? Maybe so for the youngsters. Are they too big to take down meaningfully?

villa89 Posted Tuesday at 11:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:43 16 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: I genuinely think 30 points per season for the next ten seasons is fair. Not 30 points divided by those seasons, starting every season on -30 points. It obviously won't be anything like that. My guess, transfer ban for two windows, big fine, 30 point deduction starting next season. That will probably be reduced to 20 point deduction after appeal.

Genie Posted Tuesday at 13:14 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:14 I wonder if City will be forced into some sort of apology for cheating/blocking investigations. That could also be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By paying the fine they would violate FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted Tuesday at 14:08 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:08 They could be fined £80m, they sell Grealish to pay it and it’s done. Their squad is probably stronger as a result too as it’s someone they don’t need to give minutes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted Tuesday at 14:59 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:59 Rodri complaining that players are close to going on strike due to the amount of games they play. Will he volunteer a pay cut go play less games? City players must be up there with the best of the best when it comes to comfort levels when travelling to games. Same for wages.

delboy54 Posted yesterday at 06:27 Share Posted yesterday at 06:27 What I didn't realise that the hearing about the cheating man 115y court case is being carried out in private and that the final report at the end of the case may not even be released to the media. If this were true, then they are going to get let off and all charges dropped. Brown envelopes and bribes all round then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted yesterday at 06:41 Share Posted yesterday at 06:41 Rodri is right thou, as long as his idea is less games. If it's more money then he can f off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted yesterday at 08:25 Share Posted yesterday at 08:25 Five year transfer ban would do it. Who would they have left after that is finished? no walker, gundogan, KDB, and half of the rest over 33 years old. they’d have to just go with players they sign under 18 which are free transfers. then reset their FFP to -£119m so they have to make a profit over three years to even spend money.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted yesterday at 10:56 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 10:56 Talk that if it goes badly with them, they'll throw the execs under the bus to save the Sheikh's reputation and dump the club off to new buyers. I think if there's a guilty verdict, then for the good of the game it has to come with a ruling that the current ownership can no longer be involved in football. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post osmark86 Posted yesterday at 10:59 Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 10:59 I just really wish some justice would happen for once. The game is screaming out for it. The world is already corrupt enough as it is and it's exhausting. Can we have this one win? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure Abramovich was forced to sell and that created the current Chelsea farce. Transfer ban, salary cap and a big fine will stunt further growth until the playing field has been levelled imo.
