City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
Mourinho's statement if we get awarded the 17/18 title is going to be fecking incredible 
No relegation clauses but I wouldn't be surprised if the bigger names with the smarter agents probably have some sort force majeure clauses to cover this sort of thing.
What gets me is that everyone knew how City could bend the rules. Yet anyone who followed the money was branded senile or jealous.
They pay their best players two salaries. quelle suprise !

Wouldn't mind that 2018 Carling Cup for Wenger
Think that's actually part of this investigation already.
Replay matches? Dunno what the hell that is supposed to achieve.
If they get feck all - the rest of the PL should make a stand against it. Makes a mockery of FFP even more otherwise
City has been blatantly doing all these for years and enjoying their "well earnes successes", disrupting the whole integrity of the league. It is time for them to pay back.
I believe relegation and stripping past titles off should be a minimum punishment as they have impacted way too many clubs through their actions. Without those flouting of rules, they can never achieve those titles within this short period of time. Letting them go is extremely unfair to other clubs that comply strictly to the rules to survive in the league.

This is a disaster for them. With over 100 breaches there doesn't seem to be a happy ending for city in this case.
Ole would get one too, and Fergie would get another.Mourinho's statement if we get awarded the 17/18 title is going to be fecking incredible
Sanctions stop after the 17/18 season
If anything does come from this Chelsea should be next.
For now. There are charges relating to obstructing their investigations from 17/18 until the current day.
If they get relegated, I am sure all the recent City fans on YT will disappear and go back to supporting Stockport or PSG.
I would personally be in favor of replaying all the matches from that period. Where's Fellaini at?
What a joke. City will get them on their payroll.
Where's all the posters coming to tell us how well run City are? Go on. I know you're reading this thread.
Ole wouldn't, the charges only go up to 17/18. Fergie would but he's not likely to make a big deal of one extra title. Mourinho is likely to call a press conference to publicise how great he is if he gets it
Ah. Ok
And so it shouldMourinho's statement if we get awarded the 17/18 title is going to be fecking incredible
Uh oh
Yes. I misread it.
That press conference would be box office, we all deserve to see it!
If nothing happens, the rest of the league has to make a stand. Threaten to leave, whatever it takes. The integrity of the organization is already shot to bits.
After supporting Chelsea and City, i think Newcastle is next.
Death Penalty.
Chelsea are doing a good job of fecking themselves over. Those huge contracts are going to devastate their ability to compete in transfer windows.
Their title winning team from 11/12 should be forced to play against our current team
It's all good banter to talk about who gets titles when City are stripped of them, but that's not the extent of the conversation, is it?
It's also what happens to the teams who finished 5th and missed out on CL revenue. Or finished 7th and missed out EL revenue. Or lost to City in cup ties and were denied routes to silverware in any format. Or had players lured away by City's ill gotten wealth and struggled to replace them. Or how the effects of these things compounded on those missed out, year after year. An entire ecosystem of the sport has been allowed to rot and fester - everyone has suffered to a different extent.
We know they cheated. Every man and his dog knows they cheated. The conversation is about the integrity of football, and the punishment should be a dismantling of the entire club so that a marker is set. This is truly an opportunity for the PL to save itself from the decay that has infested it since the Roman era.
I don't care if they're awarded to the next in line, their titles must be stripped, they must be disgraced, and relegated tiers below and hit with enough financial sanctions that they struggle to come back for the next decade.
Of course, what will actually happen is that some people in important places will get richer and City will get away with a fine and a transfer ban for a minor charge that is allowed to stand for saving face. That's the way things work.

Truly plastic, truly a crap franchise, empty, hollow, and bitter.
Yeah just saw that
Hahaha, finally they're going to get the punishment that they deserved years ago. Exact same thing will happen to Chelsea in next few years.
No way. Why is this?
Do the PL have the option of stripping titles? From my reading of their options that isn't one. The biggest punishment they can get is relegation.
Come out Gary Neville, we know you're watching !
And for every future season. Both Liverpol and Man City should be punished.
How the feck would the owners not be banned from owning an English club?
Didn’t pep say he’d walk if it turned out this was true?
