Manchester City's Sham Trial

[cronullasharks]

Well done mega brain! Absolute genius move spending over 200 million in January. Sometimes you just have to sit back and applaud.

A rare win for the battler

What a shame, I like getting head patted and a little tummy scratch

Hopefully Moyes will have a nice pair of mittens from Morag so he's all set for a little head patting of United.

They are only offering odds on teams in the bottom half.

Booo! We don't want sensible points to help us understand - we want to jump to conclusions and react to imaginary outrages and controversies.

Although I have a bet on at 16-1 with them for Citeh to go down. Cashing out was available until recently.

I imagine there’s a market for all 20 teams up to a certain point, and then they reduce it towards the business end of the season. Some bookies paid out on teams winning the league in the past, and it didn’t happen, so I’d be wary of using their behaviour as a predictor of what’s gonna happen.

Whens the annoucment?

 

[GoldenToffee]

They'd now almost certainly survive even a 40-point deduction - they'd only need about 4-5 wins by the end of the season.

 

[goldfinchmule]

Probabley end up with 30 point deduction suspended for 12month if they remain compliant for that period,and a 2 hour transfer ban.

Oh dear

Anyone done the joke yet that the city owners know a thing or two about sham trials?
