This is beyond a joke at this point. Either Abu Dhabi are kicked out of the league, or this will be the norm going forward, with City winning just about every year with the odd exception.
I am absolutely certain the City mafia has threatened the authorities if they dare to find them guilty

Yeah something needs to happen with those 115

I think it’s the reason clubs haven’t publicly fought back against them yet

If they get away with it again, I think there will be backlash
I'm convinced there won't be any backlash due to the fact this country is happy with middle east investment

Slow possession football is so boring. We need to move it quicker.

100% charges aside, Pep leaves end of next season regardless and things will open up again. The man is practically unbeatable over a 38 games season when given a top team. Struggles in cup football a bit but in the league he's untouchable. There's only been like 3 seasons in his career so far he hasn't won the league.

When Pep goes regardless of whether City are still in the position they are or not, everyone will have a much better chance. Similar to prime United when they won like 7 or 8 titles in 10 years and people thought it was going to last forever, all it took was a change of manager.
Where is the certainty he leaves end of next season,personally think you are just trying to raise morale for the rest of league

It’ll open up as part of the Pep hangover, but you’ll just spend and cheat your way back above the rest again. Nothing much will change.

Chelsea with 60 conceded goals so far. Which is bad, but at least they scored 71. We conceded 55 but scored 52 :lol:

Forest should be up by at least 2 goals. I am still awaiting evidence that Poch is a top-level manager.

MGW keeps harassing refs, very weird looking man
Dalot was ludicrously given those two yellows in one incident at Anfield.

Yet against us, the permanently furiously angry MGW managed to make 3 fouls in one 10second spell, then rant at the ref and only manage one.

I think if Newcastle secure Europa league then it isn't quite the disaster of a season that was being painted on here in December/January.

They're not quite at the level where they can be demanding/expecting CL every year just yet.
Going from CL spot to maybe Europa with 14 less points and your star signing got done for gambling is pretty shit relatively speaking.

So nothing to look forward to end of the season, not good for the money men.
Everything will be decided before next season

Their squad is nowhere near good enough currently to be demanding top 4 every single season. Kraft, Lascelles, Jacob Murphy....these all start if they have first choices out. Things were looking bleak in December/January but they've looked much better in last three months. Just need to hold onto Isak/Guimaraes for another year and they can have a better go for 4th next year (and also have a serious attempt at winning Europa league).

Nah. I think there will be from other clubs in that case. They can’t keep being allowed to play by different rules to everyone else

There is a reason the premier league is dominant across the world, excitement and competition.

Yes, we were a constant in the top 3, but we were beatable, and teams very frequently did.

La Liga had the best teams and players. But aside from elclassico was a prosession of two teams winning everything.

If the money men think the premier league continuing like this will retain that popularity, they are idiots.
