How many titles do we win in the unlikely event their titles get stripped? Is it the two?
We’d get 3 - the Agueroooo season, Jose’s 2nd season, Ole’s 2nd season.

Are you blindly deluded or just trolling? Anyway, the underlying issues in top level football everywhere are much deeper than cosmetic narratives at local level.
You do not give arguments, something essential to accuse the Spanish league of irregularities.
First you have to know how the FFP works in Spain and Barcelona has already had consequences such as not being able to renew Messi even if he played for free.

Cheating cnuts should have there titles taken away, the only surprising thing is how its taken so long to finally charge them. A small club like City posting the highest revenue in world football and they expect people to believe its legitimate

It's been blatant from day one they've been massively cheating. Everyone knows it, Guardiola definitely knows it.

There's a hollowness to everything they do because of it.

Holy shit!

The only reason the charges run until 2018 is because they haven't provided the relevant documentation since then!

They could be open to a further 5 years or charges at this rate!

Ok when you wake up and after all these earthquakes signalling big clubs have outgrown local leagues pretty much everywhere, you will find Barcelona on the same side of, surprise surprise, the “cheats” of today. Ciao.

Points deduction is horseshit!!! It only benefits Arsenal dickheads! What about all other clubs who were competing for the PL all these seasons while the dodgy feckers were cheating? Then they should do points deduction across all those seasons or take their titles anything else is sickening.

But what will happen? Their owners will bribe everyone involved an shut them down.

game’s completely gone. if a team as righteous, as above board, as conscientious, as philanthropic as city are charged for their actions, then what hope for the rest of us?

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time
Surely the owners sell up if they’re relegated? In terms of sports washing it will turn out to be a massive failure.
What’s the opposite of sports washing?
If they are relegated to the Championship I expect they'd stick around. If it's a harsher penalty and get relegated even further down the pyramid then I could see them selling.

Hope this is an eye opener for people who want similar ownership here...

They've been charged for every year until they stopped cooperating, so what happens about the rest of the years since they stopped? Why is that not being investigated? imagine not getting investigated for a potential crime just because you stop cooperating.

I think some of the charges are literally for not co-operating.

Perhaps a separate punishment.

Genuinely think people don’t realise how big this is.

They are totally fecked.

Wheres the City fans at? Explain yourselves!
There was one guy who kept trying to give me shit for always bringing up their fake sponsors. Hope he's having a wonderful morning.

Obvious difference is they had to create an entire football heritage to exist, so much had to be done and spent, we’re already established. But yeah it’s true, it’s clearly a lot of dodgy shite either way.

That's how they got away with the UEFA ban before because they refused to cooperate, by the time the evidence was found it was too late

That’s staggering. Surely more charges could the brought for simply not cooperating? Unless it’s already specified in the 100 fecking charges and I’ve gone charge blind by trying to read them all

From what I read, a bunch of charges are for non cooperation since 2018

The farcical case that got turned down for being timebarred and you still got fined for?

Fair play however for blaming yourself as opposed to going on a rant about corruption as per other people I have seen online though.
We got fined for the way we refused to cooperate with UEFA, years after the alleged breaches because the trust between the two parties had completely broken down. We got exonorated for all the charges that weren't time-barred, and those time-barred got turned down automatically. There were no indication that we would end up getting charged for them if it wasn't for the the fact that they were barred.

I'm no lawyer, but from what I understand fraudulent accounting is not able to be time-barred so this new case will be different, the charges are also way more expansive. Im holding my breath until more comes to light but can't help feelingen the club has shot itself in the leg.

If the average caf posters knew about them cheating why did it take PL 9 years to act on it? let them win titles first? wankers. Whatever happens now they have won those titles.

They wont be stripped of titles. Large fine and transfer ban at worst.
