If Man City are demoted by the Premier League.

[AlwaysAway2]

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.

[Mr Soul '68]

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.

In any case, I'd hate for us to stay in the Premiership due to the discrepancies of other clubs as it would be a sad turn of events.

[WJ99mobile]

They spent the most as they have the most money.

I don’t see the issue personally and they shouldn’t get reprimanded

[Forgotmyoldaccount]

Hypothetically imagine if they were in the championship with their current squad and manager. How many points would they get?

138 points? 46 wins 0 draws 0 losses. Oh and 78% average possession.

[Vindec]

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.

Didn’t Swindon get demoted once? Or denied promotion to the top division?

[bobh]

Rumour is that they're getting a one-year ban from the Champions League - the Premier League have to 'nominate' their entries, so it could be done.

Denied, wasn’t it?

[Rjk]

No chance would this happen

[AlwaysAway2]

No chance would this happen

Because they are big 6.
The money League. Fairness unnecessary.

[William Treseder]

Denied, wasn’t it?

Think they got booted down 2 divisions

[splott parker]

Think they got booted down 2 divisions

I think it was but in effect they only went down one. They won promotion to the top flight but were denied that so were put down to the third tier, one tier below where they’d been promoted from.

Football authorities never deal a meaningful punishment .

correct

they won the div 2 playoffs, but instead of going into the 1st div ( now epl ) they were demoted to div 3, but appealed and were given back the Div 2 slot before the start of the season

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 )
