City’s punishment

What would be fair? They’re facing 130 charges and in my humble opinion it should be this…

2012 and 2018 titles to be given to SAF and Jose. I don’t want City relegated. I think a more interesting punishment would be 5 consecutive seasons with a 50 point deduction. That would make City more irrelevant than one season in the championship.

Ideas?

Frankly no one is going to care about how hollow winning a title "finishing 2nd" might be to some nobodies on the internet.

When City are found guilty, there will be further legal battles if those titles aren't award to the best non-cheating teams.

Clubs that have operated within the rules have often had to settle for in budget transfers to stay within PSR rules, when they could've done what City did and went for the best players without any regard For PSR.

The amount of money spent only to lose out to proven cheats - clubs aren't going to let something as minor as a hollow feeling get in the way of claiming what they should have legitimately won.

"A bit unfair, millions of fans blame City for their own clubs' failings - They'll be riots when it's announced that City are not responsible for Levy's purchases, Arsenal shutting up shop at the Etihad last season or United being forced to buy Sancho and Antony.

It's the Tryranny of The Minority."

Why employ a legal team when Boris is here to defend his pet Shiekh for free

Indeed.

Why even have a hearing when Annie KC can tell us all the facts.

I can’t wait for the mental gymnastics performed by Boris if and whe City are found guilty, it’s going to be something quite spectacular.

I can't wait for the bleating if City are cleared, it'll break the internet.

You assume City's guilt about 12 times a day.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

What City are alleged to have done isn't new. We saw similar when Abramovich took over Chelsea, only difference is FFP/PSL wasn't around then.

Unless you.think City, like Chelsea, won the league two years after being taken over without cheating?

Cloughie said the same to the Leeds players when he took over

"see those medals you won for the league last year...well you can bin them...you got them by cheating"
