Well, the lad does clean up... Kind of ok-ish?!

But I do suppose there is a limit to how much even Photoshop and airbrushing can do.

But then again, it's not for us to say... It's one for the ladies to decide.

@Littlesue What do you think, my dear?

  1. Sexy Norwegian Boi; or
  2. If this were the 11th century, all you'd have to do is throw a beard and a helmet with horns onto the lad, hand him a double-edged battleaxe, and he'd fit in perfectly with the hordes of Viking marauders that pillaged and sacked their way across Northern England at the time? 🤔

Urggghh, no thanks, big blondes don't do much for me lol
 


I hope it’s a points deduction to 3 decimal places, just so the league table looks disjointed.

So a 3.475 point deduction will do nicely. I don’t think they will get a meaningful deduction because it’s all corrupt, and this will put the fear of Godfrey Jones in to them to ensure they won’t ever, ever, ever pull such Shennanigans again for a couple of years.
 
It is nice to see fans have stopped being cuckolded by Man City and have realised that them being better than Liverpool doesn’t mean it’s ok for them to destroy the entire sport.
 
Why doesn't the Premier League (PL) just ban them from the competition from x number of years? For example the number of years they are found to have been guilty of cheating, so like 9 years?

If the league does that, it doesn't matter then to the Premier League what happens to City - they'd need to figure it out for themselves with the Football League (FL), but that wouldn't be the PL's issue as they have no ruling over the FL.

City would then need to apply to the FL and see if they would be willing to literally add an additional space for them in the Championship, which hopefully they wouldn't, but who knows given the league would stand to make money off of City being a part of it.

The hope would be they are not given special treatment to join the Championship, League One or Two, and they'd need to find themselves lower down the pyramid.

Obviously they'd win consecutive titles (and still play in the Champions League in the first season on account of having just won the Premier League before being thrown out most likely) to get all the way back up, but it would still mean they'd likely end up winning the Championship about 4 times with the promotion spot being passed to second place and each space moving one down as they'd still be banned from joining the Premier League.

To me, that seems like a very fair punishment for these crimes. Alongside of course some substantial transfer ban, removal of any honours won during that time plus other punishments on top.

Because they bribe the right people and the outside money they bring in has made a lot of people very rich
