6 + 2 Point Deductions

Some very naive folk on here. Absolutely nothing will happen to Manchester City what so ever unless their owners sell up and leave.

They’re far too powerful
something will definitely happen, its naive to think otherwise when there's so many charges

the likelihood is that man city's super lawyers may admit guilt to some of the minor breaches and get those charges reduced to something minimal where they only have to pay a fine

when man city were found guilty of 22 breaches relating to kick off delays they only had to pay a 2 mil fine

i believe some of the charges relate to man city's failure to co-operate with the prem, so if man city are found guilty of only 30 charges in relation to failure to co-operate with the prem, the punishment could be like 5 mil

to think man city will get scot free on every single charge is just naive when there are 129 single rule breaches

One report i believe relates to paying Manchini money to an off shore account

Leicester were fully expecting a points deduction for failing to provide financial information alone, never mind the breach. And we lost extra points (or failed to have our deductions reduced) for not really cooperating.

Anything less than points deduction for failure to provide info and general skullduggery would be scandalous!

But agree, it will end up with a fine, possibly massive just because won’t make a difference at all to city, and the money will just disappear into the PL coffers with not a penny going back into the game. They may as well line their pockets. City will say it’s a disgrace, but wanted to just get it over with and pay the fine, no direct acceptance of guilt. Their brand protected and the PL richer.
 
Just a comment on the 'Super League' people keep referring to. They have absolutely no intention of leaving their domestic leagues, and the 'Super League' was always only ever about making the Champions League a closed shop. The new format of the Champions League pretty much is the 'European Super League', it just doesn't guarantee eternal qualification for those that wanted to set up their own 'Super League'. Nobody wants to leave their domestic leagues, and the prospect of them doing so has never been on the table.

can we leave and set up our own league with tranmere, southport, bootle, marine, city of liverpool, prescot cables, a.f.c. liverpool, litherland REMYCA, Lower Breck, Pilkington, Ashville, Cammell Laird 1907, FC St Helens, South Liverpool and Maghull.

winner gets champions league
 
Not a chance. The clubs with the massive abroad followings that bring the league massive wealth and exposure have absolutely nothing to fear atm and then, eventually, they will form their super league anyway.

What’s left for everybody else will just be used to farm out young Super League players on loan and won’t be up to any kind of standard we are used to. Money won’t be anything close to the PL and if you have a good player they’re going to get bought on the Super League teams’ terms.

It’ll be like supporting a championship team that is not allowed to get promoted to the PL, gets next to zero media coverage and is competing for a tin cup.

Many of the foreign fans that City have 'brought into the league' will simply switch to another team. Their investment is more in the league than the team. They aren't die hard fans, they're a floating fan and will just find another team if City were to be expelled from the league. The ones to worry about are the UK based ones, and of the ones in the UK, they've been out of the EPL before so no biggie.

Having said all that, they will get a fine of a percentage of income, and that will be promised to grassroots but ultimately end up in somebody's back pocket.

It’s wishful thinking.

City are too powerful and have too much money. Leicesters legal team beat the PL and they tried to get us to cover their legal bills.

City will tie them up in litigation and have a bottomless pit of money to outlast the Premier League.

There might be a taken transfer ban or fine. They will never be correctly deducted or stripped of titles.
 
The prem will probably try and find some legal reason to drop all charges against Man City bar one, and then give them a fine and a slap on the wrist for that one.

Can't give them a fine can they, that's what they told Everton and Forest that, "the owners are that rich that giving them fines is not a punishment, it means nothing to them."
Well while owners are richer than Man City's?

Why have titles take off them? They're done and dusted, nobody cares anymore. It's their future trading capacity that should be affected.

Exactly they're (twitter fans) as irrelevant in reality as the greenwood apologists, when it comes to actually tangible support.
