A lot of arses twitching in Stockport today.
Not really.A lot of arses twitching in Stockport today.
Everton got this charge after fully co-operating too. City stopped co-operating a few years ago and have been trying to block it at every turn which should make the punishment even more severe imo.I think something will happen to City - because the consequences will be too big if they dont punish them. They simply cant punish Everton that harshly and let City get away if they are found guilty. If Evertons punishment stands and they end up relegated because of it, they will have a very strong case for a lawsuit if City is let off the hook with a relatively smaller punishment
PL will just wait and wait till statutory time limits passes and oops cant do anything now. Maybe give a 1M fine and forgetA lot of arses twitching in Stockport today.

This is my view too unfortunately. The lawyers they're paying millions to will find a whole bunch of technicalities or loophole to squirm their way out of any real punishment. Or failing that find the right people in the right places to offer a few brown envelopes. I hope I am wrong but at worst they'll get a huge fine/small points deduction.Not really.
Anyone thinking that anything will happen to city are deluding themselves.
city will sort this out one way or another. On the face of it, this decision is terrible for them but they’ll muddy the waters enough to sort it and nothing will ever happen.
Whether that is to the detriment of the PL as a whole remains to be seen
A numbee of the charges are about them refusing to cooperate.I saved you all several hours of calculus and did the maths...
115 x 10 points = 1,115 points, that's a series of relegations. They. Are. Not one bit fecking worried because they'll never get this level of punishment.
Being completely on the fence on the matter, deleting the club seems fair to me?A numbee of the charges are about them refusing to cooperate.
You'd imagine that's way less serious punishment wise than being way over the money level like Everton.
However, they've certainly done what Everton have done x many, many a level.
A relegation would be the hardest ever punishment, but they would simple drill back up the league, so it wouldn't do a huge deal.
Today we are all ToffeesEverton turning the heat up..
“The club will also monitor with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. Everton cannot comment on this matter any further until the appeal process has concluded"
Is it that hard to understand the difference between one, straightforward charge on which a club is cooperating and readily making admissions, claiming extenuating circumstances versus multiple, complicated charges with more difficult evidentiary burdens against a club that is actively resisting and denying? Would you rather the league just come forward with a half-baked case that will be easily eviscerated by City's lawyers to satisfy your bloodlust?City has been blatantly doing this for more than a decade on an unprecedented scale. Yeah right, we should go for Everton first.
Nothing less will be acceptable. I would have added erasing their history but thankfully they've got none.Being completely on the fence on the matter, deleting the club seems fair to me?
so just like a premier league season, then.I can see them being relegated which would appear significant but it's not even remotely sufficient a punishment. They'll break every record on their way back up within a season while having effectively wiped their record clean
Of their ownTo which division though?
I can't see the PL allowing the owners to continue after trying so hard to cover up their cheating.I can see them being relegated which would appear significant but it's not even remotely sufficient a punishment. They'll break every record on their way back up within a season while having effectively wiped their record clean
Well yeah, at the small price of 115(?) chargesso just like a premier league season, then.

They can only moan about it. When City escape, it will be on some technicality, real or made up.Everton turning the heat up..

It's last night's chilli, man.A lot of arses twitching in Stockport today.
The reason they dont cooperate is because if they do give PL access to thier financial data, it would all be easy to prove that they faked it.A numbee of the charges are about them refusing to cooperate.

Maybe the FA will relegate the UAE and suspend the Tories? Will most likely be Labour's fault somehow.The Tory government has already admitted to intervening on this and talking to the UAE government about it. There's no way they are risking relations with the UAE over football.
The UAE and Citys biggest lemmiwinker is the Mayor of Manchester himselfMaybe the FA will relegate the UAE and suspend the Tories? Will most likely be Labour's fault somehow.
Five game ban for Corbyn.
I think it's a given they'll get expelled by the Premier League. I imagine if they attach a fixed term to that, so expulsion and no return within 5 years, the Football League will be compelled to only offer them a return to a division which is that the same amount of promotions away as the time bar from the Premier League. That's inevitable as otherwise you could have City win the Championship for 5 years in a row but unable to be promoted which will cause carnage. So with that logic applied:To which division though?
