If the Premier League had a backbone they should relegate City or at least give them a long transfer ban. A fine means nothing to the oil club.
Everyone knows that they bought success
So did Chelski
Nobody would begrudge the fans their glory??
We certainly would take a Rich Arab Sheik right now instead of Lord Vinny of the Long Trousers 🫤
Could we get our 6 points back and stay up?
It's not exactly a short list, is it? Not only failing to comply with multiple regulations, but then deliberately failing to provide that information later, when asked. Not once or twice but repeatedly. For ten years, they failed to provide required salary and renumeration information, and then continued to fail to provide it, even when specifically requested.
Okay, they deserve to have the book thrown at them, but you have to ask why things have taken so long, to get to this point? The earliest failure to provide was in 09-10, and then in every season after that. What have the PL been doing, all that time?
Sam had ccfc spending above its turnover for several years
We were lucky we didn't get poked
it'll be a fine or a point deduction, just enough to show they have acted but not enough to change anything about the season, so just small enough that they still finish in the top 4 ( for a CL place )
we have all said it, football is rotten and nothing is going to change
15 point deduction, like Juve? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/othe...ce/ar-AA17ab0Z
50 point deduction and a 50 point deduction next season.
Fines are nothing to them and that will just show the world that if you are rich enough, you can do what you want.
Relegation and a potential relegation the following year is actual punishment.
Won't happen though, football is a total joke and run by the rich clubs
I'm firmly in the feck all will happen camp.
There will be some loophole which will miraculously appear and be exploited by the club's "legal team stroke financial team" and a token fine imposed or possibly a minimal points deduction.
Our club would be hammered for such irregularities..
...and to think there are people who still believe that it is a level playing field :facepalm:
The whole feckin premier league is a money shit show, has been for years.
Chelsea
Man City
Liverpool
Manu
The amount of money they've already spent is absolutely abhorrent.
The knock on effect to the rest of the league and the teams striving to get to that league has completely ruined football right down to Wrexham in the national league.
It's just become money ball.
They’re all at it I reckon, if there’s no time limit on how far the Premier League can go back, the early Abramovich days at Chelsea must be dodgy. Even now Chelsea have gone berserk again in the transfer market. There’s got to be other clubs, such as Bournemouth, Brighton etc who have somehow spent millions more than their income reflects. It’s a financial cess pit.
As long as we aren’t retrospectively deducted the three points for our 3-2 win I’m quite calm about the situation :hehe:
There should just be a salary cap imposed.
I’d prefer a player cap. 25 per squad, transfer window time, if two come in, two must be sold. Only additions from within the club from the u/21s or academy. The ‘spiteful’ buying has to stop, Chelsea, Man City etc hoovering up talent, then putting them out on loan to various European clubs, making sure these decent players can’t hurt them in the Premier League. Even if they lend them to another Premier club they, obviously, can’t play against them. Just checked, not sure if it’s right up to date, but Chelsea have 21 players out on loan. Ridiculous!!
Does this mean we can have Lewys Benjamin back?
Reckon if they are still behind arsenal with a few games to go you’ll see a dodgy under the table deal to deduct points but keep them in the Champions League places plus a big but meaningless fine. Prem get to save face and City don’t give up anything that matters to them.
The fact that they beat the UEFA case at CAS surely means they will feel good about anything the Prem tries to enforce that they don’t basically agree to.
Says the Premier League
