For proven breaches of financial fair play.
There is a call already today for them to be removed from the Champions League!
Surely Cardiff having finished clear 18th will be reprieved.
Unless financial fair play doesn’t matter in the Premiership.
I’m looking forward to the Championship. Bother.
Their rich arab owners will grease a few palms. I bet feck all happens regarding them in The Champions and their rich friends League, and also the Premier League too
The news today has no bearing on the Premiership.Quote:

They spent the most as they have the most money.
I don’t see the issue personally and they shouldn’t get reprimanded
Hypothetically imagine if they were in the championship with their current squad and manager. How many points would they get? :hehe:
138 points? 46 wins 0 draws 0 losses. Oh and 78% average possession.
In the unlikely event Man City were demoted by the time any appeal was determined there would not be time to relegate the club. However, it is preposterous to believe the League Champions would be demoted as other sanctions would come into play before that was even a remote possibility.
The issue is they have broken the rules.Quote:

Denied, wasn’t it?Quote:

A work mate of mine knew the chairman of swindon brian hillier fairly well, he went on to own Calne town ( which is local to me )
