Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[blulouie]

One side of me completely hopes that that does happen.

Why have a group of teams who think they’re better than the league, if they want to go off playing all round the world, then marvellous.

Leave the league to the loyal ones. Make it less monopolised.

I feel the same but it could be the death of the Prem & the money that goes with it.

The thing people are forgetting is that the Premier league is bigger than any Super league will ever be. I think most of the big teams know this as well. It's why the big 6 won't want to leave the PL, and why the big European sides will be keen that they do leave the PL.

Not sure the TV companies would agree. It is about brands and sponsors now. Eventually it will be virtual with the Kardashians playing The Simpsons.

City's lawyers will tie them in knots financially and just keep throwing money at it until the PL Cannot afford to do anything else but buckle.

Hope so mate ?

funny watching all the kopites get exited

Nothing will happen maybe points and a fine nothing too bad

As much as I’m amused I know what’s coming, a togetherness of back patting and pride that they should have won 4 leagues, that they are the best side ever and an overall huge smugness, which is completely unmerited.

Done nothing, claim it all.

Is that a bad thing?

Will football be more affordable? Will it be less predictable? Will it weaken the quality, yes? But the competitiveness? Not in the slightest.

"Many Premier League clubs want Manchester City to be kicked out of the division if they are found guilty of breaking rules over nine seasons...
... The Premier League's most severe punishment in these circumstances would be to expel City and it has been reported that the English Football League would be under no obligation to accept them."

Man City: Premier League clubs want champions kicked out if guilty of alleged financial breaches

The clubs who had been pressing hardest for action until Monday were some other members of the so-called big six; there is a feeling that taking away Citys titles retrospectively would be meaningless and cause confusion, but a fine is also not likely to have much of an effect

If they are found guilty then they should be stripped of all honours won whilst doping. This is no different to lance Armstrong, if they doped (financially) then everything they won is stricken off. Or would that only apply to us?

I think they ought to have 5% less time in the wind tunnel as a punishment.

Juve back then were going to have a even worse points deduction than they actually did back in the days of that football scandal.

They however appealed and the deduction got almost cut in half. If they lost the appeal, they wouldn't have gone straight back up.

With Marseille, they were like banned for so many years from Ligue 1, and even when they won Ligue 2, they were not allowed back at one point. The FIGC should have done the same thing.

 

[good times bad times]

This is why we are better off without the Usmanovs of this world and their accountants. You don't know what they have been up to behind the scenes until it all comes out in the wash a few years later. For all we know the damage could already have been done.

Hope City's punishment if found guilty is not retrospective at least. Can't be having more titles handed to the small cartel of clubs who caused the nouveau riche to come along in the first place.

I get that I really do.
But all the top players we see now in the Prem would be gone.
As they say money talks.

They went from -30 in Serie B to -9.

They were probably coming up either way to be fair, they still had Trezeguet, Del Piero, Nedved and Buffon.

Last time we won something the best doping was the ingestion of testis. Or crocodile dung.

Am sure originally they were to be demoted to Serie C, but they appealed.

Everyone forgets that it wasn’t just Juve, it was Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina, few others too
