We will now enter a long period of appeals and counter appeals. Expect the final outcome will co-inside with the opening of our new stadium.

Hopefully nothing like as disappointing though.

[gshaw]

All Premier League titles in the affected years should be stripped plus massive points deduction or multiple relegation. We've seen how harshly they dealt with Everton etc for single beaches so there's no excuse not to throw the book at Citeh

[BiggsyMalone]

What a shame

[Token]

Hopefully they get sued out of existence by all the clubs that missed out on CL/Europa league because of their cheating

[Winchestorfan]

They deserve having the book thrown at them and the very minimum sanctions imposed should be as meted out to Rangers FC .

Manchester City FC(f…..cheats) bought their success by cheating. Other Premiership clubs should now make their feelings very clear and file for massive damages from these criminals.Feel sorry for their fans but they will have the pleasure of visiting clubs like Crawley Town, Accrington Stanley etc.

[Proposition Joe]

Nothing will happen above and beyond a fine and, at worst, a manageable points deduction.

A big fine and around about 12 points deduction but they will fight this ruling tooth and nail.

No way is that acceptable after what Everton and Nottingham Forest were docked for single breaches. This is over a decade of sustained cheating, the integrity of the league has been wrecked as a result

[Token]

Yeah agree. There really is no choice but to throw the book at them if the PL wants to carry on being so popular worldwide

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

At least we now get to play Plymouth at home in the 5th Round of the 2024/25 FA Cup next weekend

So Manchester City won those league titles by cheating . Arsenal denied league titles while other clubs were relegated . This has opened up a massive can of worms

[E10quence]

We were relegated with Citeh in our only season in the top flight.

Interested to see what punishment they get.

Minus superstars like Haaland . I can imagine him going to a club like Barcelona

[RedDwarf 1881]

Nothing will happen above and beyond a fine and, at worst, a manageable points deduction.

Unacceptable considering how other clubs have been punished in the past for a lot less

[Highwood Man]

Absolutely this. It will rumble on for several years as it has done already with the lawyers getting richer and richer until a punishment is doled out which will make everyone wonder what was the
point of the whole thing.

At which point the other Prem clubs should counter sue for lack of action. Administer the punishment now like how Everton etc were treated and let Man Cheaty argue the case later

[Max B Gold]

They should be relegated to Div4 for breaches on that scale.

Correct . The FA has already set a precedent so this has to be the course of action. If that doesn’t happen then all hell will break loose

Quite, but it's what I'm expecting. Remembering when Luton were effectively relegated from the EFL with a massive points deduction (was it 30 points?), can't see anything like that happening.

[Cheshunto]

Remember seeing a programme about 5 years ago on Utube I think about sponsoring the Etihad stadium by Etihad Airlines .
The value of this sponsorship was roughly £200 million but City were paid about double that by sheikh Mansour who owned both the airline and City themselves.

I can’t remember the actual figures but it was something like this.

[OyinbO]

They should be relegated to Div4 for breaches on that scale.

Put them in a league with Rangers and let them play each other 38 times a year and no-one else.

[Story of O]

They should be relegated to Div4 for breaches on that scale.

Put them in Scottish League 2

[y o y o y]

They should be relegated to Div4 for breaches on that scale.

Put them in a league with Rangers and let them play each other 38 times a year and no-one else.

55,000 attendance every game, Rangers at Ibrox, 54,000 home fans 1000 away.
City at the Etihad, 5000 home fans 50,000 away fans
