Man City found guilty of 114 charges

Yeah, that would be woeful.

They'll bounce back even if a good chunk of that squad ends up leaving and that will be that.

They need chucking down to a lower tier.

We all know the PL will give it the “we can’t relegate them further, it’s not our jurisdiction, blah blah blah”

[AjaxAndy]

And then they’ll be back after one season in the Championship, huzzah, that’ll teach them

They wouldn't even need to sell anyone, as although they'll go waaaay over CSR for that division, any punishment would only apply to the EFL, just like Leicester.

So they could basically go down, come back up with the same or a better team, and win the Premier League the following season.

The pushiment should be enough to stop them ever competing again (like the rest of us) but the flip side is why do we have rules which mean most can never compete again

Ultimately city won titles because they cheated to get an elite budget to beat the elite. Not sure how city spending the same as Liverpool is less fair than Liverpool being able to spend 10 times more than half the league

Result, back to the usual product and all those global customers, sure a few people might moan for a season or two, but in the end it’ll all be forgotten and things can get back to normal

Something I just watched claims they'll also be given a points deduction for the Championship season to prevent them achieving promotion back to the premier league.

I don't understand how that would be feasible given the EFL is a completely different body to the EPL, and so no sanction could be applied for the completely different competition

Unless it has all been agreed before hand.

[Cereal Killer]

Or people are just making shit up because, the internet

[AjaxAndy]

Unless it has all been agreed before hand.

I think there's now way of legally enforcing it though, the rules prevent it and there's already been a precedent with Leicester escaping punishment because they were no longer in the EFL

I think its funny. All 6 of them have an insurmountable advantage over the rest of us under these rules. Watching the other 5 cry because a 6th cheated their way into their unfair advantage is great entertainment.

Who cares which of them win 20 titles in the next 60 years while the rest of us are just treated like feeder clubs. City being top under the current cloud is ridiculous but the premier league is ridiculous
