The Premier League definitely cares, because they want the oil money to keep pouring into the league. It’s very much in their interest to give City a clean bill of health.
People say this but Italy had no issue relegating Juventus. That was at a point when Serie A had declined from indisputably being the best in world football up to about 1999 so they needed a strong Juventus at that point but ultimately did the right thing.
They don’t even have to catch Bournemouth, they’d have to catch Luton. Four points would put them second to last ahead of Burnley and behind Sheffield and Luton. Both of those teams are on 0,5 points per game or less. That’s horrendous and like 18 points over the course of a season. Everton managed 36, so double that amount, last year when they looked terrible.
just love the sport but hate the competitions and governing bodies. my enjoyment of football has increased with not caring about our league position, or how results of other games impact us. it’s all shit nowadays as the actual game isn’t the focus of things. it’s all strictly business, with everyone clawing over the top of each other for an extra teat to milk. city won’t be touched for their crimes, barcelona won’t be touched for their crimes. there’s too much at stake for the money men to allow that to happen. cases like this against everton are purely show trails, designed to show some semblance of balance and fair play. it’s all an act, with the small guys being the fall guys. i used to like football as an escape from adult life, it’s just another way to be forced to take a dick in your mouth whilst some tells you it’s an ice pop.
I think people just want consistency and I don't think anyone has said anything about poor old plucky Everton.
i think most are upset that it’s seemingly one rule for me and one rule for thee.
Maybe you’re the precedent others will be measured by. Yeah right!
Is anyone feeling sorry for them? I'm certainly not. They cheated, they deserve to be punished.
It’s just a matter of paying the right people off.
Yeah it seems a bit lopsided. If you are in danger of going down, much better to cheat, take the 10 point deduction the next season and stay up than try and make it work within the rules and take the hit of demotion.
Why? Were they doing Zumba this morning?
Think it's the complete opposite, think people want the hammer of justice to land firm on city just as it has everton.
I agree and I think they will.
This is now the real test. If Chelsea and City get off without a massive punishment the “game” is well and truly “gone”
City like Prince Andrew mate. Don't sweat.

it means the premier league can cleverly close the chapter on the city and chelsea debacles. all future correspondence on the matter will show “the blue team were adequately punished for their crimes and we consider an end to matter.”
They're 2 points off luton and out of the relegation zone. With 4 wins already this season they could make up that 10 points in 5 or 6 games and be laughing by Jan
You are one miserable character
Nah, I don't think this is the case. If Everton are getting 10pts docked, City will get a lot more depending on how many of the charges they can make stick.
If Chelsea and City(even more, cause they actually have a case ongoing against them), don't get punished to the correct extent, as Everton has, than supporters and the people around the other PL teams should protest and do whatever they can to make the FA and whoever is in charge know that this is unacceptable and outrageous. "Everyone and their nan" knows what City are up to and how they've gotten to where they are now.. and it almost feels like it is "accepted" and "normal".
Give them a month to edit the shit out of it first.
social media reaction to this says different, it’s literally only being spoken about in the context of City
