Naughty Emirates Marketing Project - Spot of Compo??

Everyone knew Chelsea were fiddling the books as well, it was just convenient to get it out of the way under the guise of new owners.
Potential new city owners can say, yes would like to buy it, however those punishments make it difficult, let's negotiate.
Not wanting to damage the brand by having a serial "champion" relegated I can see the PL wilting and handing out weaker punishment.

Worcester Warriors new owners had to take over the full legacy of their predecessors' punishments. They then put the club on sure footing, and renegotiated entry back in (to the second tier).
 
Unfortunately the ones to suffer then is the fans, and that is not something I would ever want to any club.

City rightly deserve to be punished, and should be imo relegated. Even European ban for a period feels fair but beyond that, just no as much as the saudi's own the club to quote Daniel Levy they are just custodians of it. The fans of Emirates Marketing Project should not see their club come to the point of non-existance and to be honest I will miss the games, the only 6 points we could guarantee every season.

Ah but they have those memories of all those titles that 'can't be taken from them' or tainted.

They were happy to ride the good times. Life sucks.

fudge em. The've been cleopatra for over a decade. Calling out other fans saying they were just jealous and it was all a conspiracy by the big 6.

Yes, those poor fans.

They are the ones that have really suffered, not the ones of Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool etc who have missed out of life long memories of winning leagues and cups, or Everton fans missing out on Champions League football for the first time etc etc

City fans can get in the bin.
 
Ian Holloway telling it like it is! And I agree!

He's says 'And if you didn't know they were cheating you've turned a blind eye to that' and then claims Pep wouldn't have known about it? So it's apparently obvious to people on the outside, but the guy working directly with them wouldn't have known? Hmmm....

They haven't been 'Giants' since COVID....a string of financial problems, administration, bankruptcy, de-listing as a professional football club etc has seen them tumbling down the pyramid.
This is just another demotion for them , and it's down just one division from where they were..... ANOTHER clickbait headline.
 
The Bordeaux decision looks comparatively harsh to the Premier League's punishment of only allowing one club to have Snack Size Dark Chocolate Kit-Kats in their lunchboxes.

In Bordeaux's case, it started with the sale to the TV channel M6, which then sold the club to Americans who proceeded to squeeze it dry like a lemon; then a certain Gérard Lopez killed the club off—much like he did with others in Europe, such as Boavista or Royal Excel Mouscron.

When you bring in businessmen who know nothing about football, eventually the whole thing goes under. That’s the proof right there.
Just look at our own situation—Lange, Vina... nothing but poor decisions when it comes to player sales; our young players are treated like mere commodities.

To get back to the shady dealings: when I really think about it, City has lined the pockets of plenty of other clubs and sent player prices skyrocketing.
Take the fee paid for Elliot Anderson, for instance—Nottingham really cashed in big time on that one.

but hang on, many will tell you Levy knew nothing about football...

good point on the signings, who was that lad they bought from Leeds, who was an England regular that never got a game and disappeared, there are so many angles of damage done by their cheating
