>sham>sham>sham>shamyeah, they are getting the book thrown at them.
>nothing happens
Premier League not holding back with that statement, get fucked. 900m in bent sponsorship, shameless.
I cant wait for the Anfield game and the boos.
man city -40 points and them clawing to survive would be utter kino
Sham club with sham trophies. Expel them from the PL and the FL.
nothing will happen. liam already said nothing will happen.pl can relegate them but efl is a different league and won't relegate them.even if they do we'll tear the entire system down and fuck you all so better shut up.
>>157961158should not give them a points deduction and simply kick them out of the PL and ban them for life
Well well well
>>157961172>we'll tear the entire system downhow lmao you'll do nothing
all trophies in the accused period were cheated and everything after was also a result of that cheating
>>157961172>we'll tear the entire system down and fuck you allBy doing what exactly? Bombing the FA headquarters?
SHAM SHITTY
>>157961188arsenal won't win shit even if we get deducted 50pts (we won't). your entire team is shit and dead got beaten by shitone lmaoooo>>157961189yes we will, the rules aren't fit for purpose and the pl is bias against us, the red cartel will be torn down, we'll force investigation into every club and find out you've all been cheaten.>>157961197no by suing the league for the rules which aren't fit for purpose and are biased
>>157961196sham should be mentioned every time any trophy they won from 2009 till now
>>157961109>900 million in false transfer money
>>157961196yeh tow times of blatant cheating. So not even a case of a one of period. They did it once and found it so successful they did it again knowing he PL were turning a blind eye. Ironically the best defence for citeh would be that they could say the PL knew they were cheating and did nothing
>>157961208>complaining about the rules after being found out for consistently breaking themyeah good luck with that
RELEASE THE PEPSTEIN FILES
>>157961208>by suing the league for the rules which aren't fit for purpose and are biasedWhich will do precisely nothing and result in precisely nothing.
>>157961172>liam already said nothing will happen.No one cares what that cheap John Lennon impersonator thinks.
>Found guilty of ALL the serious breachesLMAO but Blue moon said they were cleared on them and they would just be fined for the "non compliance with investigation" side
>>157961172EFL have said they won't accept them according to my sources
point deduction with no chance of avoiding relegation
We don't need Manchester City, it's not like a Juventus in Italy or Bayern Munich in Germany. They can be expelled from the PL and the EFL too without any issue.
TRUST THE PROCESSDICKSUCKERS ARE IN CONTROL
>>157961222>>157961227except retards every club does this, we're just the ones who got 'caught' (by illegal means, btw) so lets go and look at the red cartel books and see how 'legit' their money is. the rules are biased and were introduced because of portsmouth and now suddenly when you've gotten all the money into your backpocket you put the rules in? we already cucked them over the sponsorship rules so we'll fuck them over this.lets not forget the billions we'll get from from pl over damage to our brand and earnings LMAO.>>157961234yeah man a guy who talked to people very very very high up says nothing is gonna happen is totally lying.>>157961244efl is different league so we cannot be placed in the, at worst (VERY WORST) the pl can deduct us enough points to get relegated but we come straight back up. the only way we go further down is if the efl deduct us 150pts every season.
Chelsea & Spurs next
>>157961258>lets not forget the billions we'll get from from pl over damage to our brand and earnings LMAO.What brand damage?
>>157961252unironically though, the premier league only needs arsenal, liverpool and united. city being gone wouldn't make a dent in viewership
>>157961264Chelsea did the smart thing. Spurs have that Shakira money.
>>157961244Who are your sources?
>>157961272literally saying we're cheats is damaging our brand.
>>157961275The only "weight" around Manchester City is that they're like a final boss from the third or fourth entry of a tired videogame series. They were difficult to defeat in Football Manager, that's all.
Shams, scams, cheating. Goodbye shitty.
>>157961275chelsea and spurs are big, lad.
>>157961258Fruit of the poisonous tree isnt a thing in UK law, evidence can be used even if the third party person obtained it illegally
>>157961109It's over.
>manshamster shity
>>157961287No it isn't. Being cheats IS the Man City "brand".
You absolutely fucking love to see it.
Don't look back in anger.
>>157961287You are cheats. You can't sue someone for defamation if what they say is true.
>>157961302not in the same way the others are, there is liverpool and united then a gap, arsenal. the gap between arsenal and the next club is huge
>>157961286I would never reveal my sources
>>157961286Jarvis Cocker knows someone high up who confirmed it
Liverpool - Down to you, time to beat these shitters and compound the humiliationYNWA
>>157961252Juventus had to spend a season in Serie B because of a financial scheme in recent memory
At least Man Utd won't get found guilty of anything. We're too skint
>>157961234his best impression would be to join John Lennon
it's happeningall those titles? gonethe club? kicked down the systemCITY IS DONE
SOMEBODY CHECK ON PRESTWICHHe is Blue Moon's #1 poster whos spent all week saying theyd got off on the serious charges and would just be fined for not engaging with the investigation
>>157961303yes but it is in germany where the guy hacked it and this is what caused the pl to come looking.>>157961313well when we get our lawyers in and school the pl again, you won't be laughing>>157961324still hurting the brand, loss of earnings and you're attacking an entire club, you saying doris the dinner lady was in on this? lol. fuck off, mong.
>>157961264spuds to give up all their titles won in the last 30 years
>>157961335Just realised their first game after international break is at AnfieldKek I hope the scousers at least have some banners or chants lined up.City should get humiliated everywhere they go for the rest of the season before being sent into oblivion
>>157961258>man city, of all clubs, complaining about the financial rules and their timing
>>157961339I hate Man Utd but their sponsorship income is, for better or worse, legitimately declared.
>>157961333He knows a lot of cokeheads, but are they exaggerating, cocaine often makes you exaggerate and say things with confidence that may not be true.
>>157961345>well when we get our lawyers in and school the pl again, you won't be laughinglol
>>157961345Absolutely seething city customer. Back to supporting chelshit for you.
>>157961353you'd hope so but liverpool like to play cucks for man city so I wouldn't count on it
Reminder City arent able to appeal the outcome, only try to complain about the process.The finding of them being CHEATS and committing fraud of over £900m is now fact.
The ultimate bants would be>City win the title>Final day of the season>PL then deduct them 150pts>They get relegated>2nd place gets the trophy>2nd place are bittersweet and City are euphoria cucked
>>157961353Sadly with current Liverpool it's going to be 0-0 or a cheeky 1-0 win to City
>>157961345This is like saying a murderer should be allowed to sue the police for putting out a press release after he's been convicted of murder by a jury. You are a complete spastic and those titles are being stripped.
>>157961384EFL did something like this during 19/20 when Wigan had a points deduction enforced the second the game finished
>>157961367cope.>>157961370sorry i'm not a fairweather fan like you>>157961377yes we are, retard. the entire process is tainted by bias, literally an arsecuck fan in charge of it all lmao.
I've read the statement and I don't think they've done anything wrong.
Likely to be criminal prosecutions for city execs on the back of this
I hope every single one of their PL titles get revoked and relegated to the fifth divison.
Man City official communication starting to sound like that Comical Ali guy as Iraq fell to western forces
>Man City haven't won a major trophy since 1968OOF
>>157961396>tells anyone else to copeYou're in fucking tears lad.
>>157961410No wonder this shit has dragged on for as long as it has, with how they're acting.
Are there any other clubs that are at risk of breaching based on previous years like this? I know Chelsea spent a lot recently but I don't know if they balanced it out with sales.
>people convincing themselves City will be punished accordingly
RING RING RING RING
Are they no longer the most hated club in the PL?
Falsifying accounts is a criminal offence. The fraud squad should be asking questions of City.
>>157961410Theyre in too deep to fold now and admit fault.They've spent 8 years lying and covering shit up. Now all they can do is pathetically screech
>>157961172foden is that u my wigga?
>>157961432It's so fucking funny.
>>157961429>The fraud squadI thought that was City's starting XI
>>157961336That was on appeal too so they bounced straight back up.
>>157961429They are. The fact they also gave false statements in the case is also an issue.>>157961438Done em.
My Dad works for Nintendo and he says they're getting relegated to the 9th tier and will host Penistone FC at the Etihad

>>157961435you know DSL is seething inside, he may pretend to be unbothered but you know they are in agony that nobody will ever take them seriously again
>>157961254fuck off
>and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positionsYeah might have been an idea to have shown some of it.
>>157961450>lelds delusion
>>157961109PL releasing this statement is great news, they know theyve fucked it and theyre lashing out.City can now use this against them to get even more money in court
>Fine Citeh £900mil>Give each PL club £10mil compo (£190m)>Give each EFL club £5mil as a "development" grant (£360mil) to improve each clubs facilities like training grounds>Put £200mil for grassroots football, again to improve/develop facilities>Gamble the remaining £150mil on online slots and roulette>Win billions>Spend winnings on hookers and Carabao energy drinks
I wonder if they could sue saying FFP rules are fundamentally anti-competition. Would probably work if we were still in the EU they love making rulings like that.
One hundred and fourteen,One hundred and fourteen,How many charges, boys?One hundred and fourteen!You bought the stars,You bought the fame,You bought the trophies,Now count the blame!One hundred and fourteen,One hundred and fourteen,You can buy a football team,But you can't buy a clean sheet!114!114!You cheated your way to the top,Now you're paying the bill!114!114!Money can't buy history114!
>>157961466Staggering level of cope there
>>157961467>Spend winnings on hookers and Carabao energy drinksBut the EFL owns those.
DSL IS ABOUT TO ROPE LMAOOOOOOOOOO
STICKY IT NOW MODS
I feel like the PL has to give them a big smack on the bum otherwise noone'll ever adhere to spending rules again, especially after Everton, Forest and Leicester got punished for their comparatively minor breaches
>>157961463They are proud ABUs and I for one stand with them
>>157961410UAE government is Israel’s dog. Rest of the Arab world hates them. Don’t get it twisted
Which players do you want from City's fire sale? Hope Haaland comes back to Leeds.
>>157961473that's exactly what we're going to do. on top of damaging our brand and image.>>157961486they can only relegate us, that's the worse they can do, can't take anything away from us as we won it on the pitch even cundy on talksport supports us. we'll go down and be right back battering your shite.
>>157961479>EFL HookersYou might be on to something. Quite fancy a Bolton Brass.
>>157961500>on top of damaging our brand and image.The Emirati money damaged the City brand and image.

NOT SO FAST CHUDDIE
I wish I borrowed money from Man City.
>>157961500I wish you the best of luck, want to see the look on red cartel faces when Newcastle get their spending limiter taken off.

>>157961621>team that was getting hammed 8-0 gets bought out by a state>puts in billions>starts winning things>turns out they cheated>wtf why are people having a meltie?????LOL.
Okay, assuming they actually get punished. What would be appropriate?Dissolve the club?Relegation to at least the 6th tier?Making all titles void + a hefty fee + a ban on UAE to own any clubs on UK soil + a considerable point deduction and a transfer ban in case the club doesn’t get nuked should be the bare minimum
>>157961632>>157961636Very short sighted of you, you need as many EPL teams in the CL as you can get
Hopefully they get the Rangers treatment and get deleted as a club.
The table of the reported commercial revenue to actual commercial revenue is fucking hilarious
>>157961646This is Chikaner. Just don’t bother. Never reply. He is very easy to spot because of his word choice
>>157961109ain't reading allatsomeone post a qrd
>>157961649You're calling other people short-sighted and you think English football fans give a shit about how a club other than their own do in European football, fucking hell.
>>157961647150pt deduction (force relegation)Transfer + Registration ban for 10 yearsWork with the EFL to give them 150pts deduction all the way down to National League.Huge fine (which is given to the entire league system).This isn't just football, this is illegal in a criminal sense. This is fraud. Which is a criminal offence. This isn't just oh well it's football, it's literally lying to HMRC.
>>157961649>I really want City to win the champions league for England!what an absolute moron you are
>>157961658No
>>157961646>>157961636>>157961632Yes, hated foreigner billionaires own your clubs. That's how the EPL works.AmericansArabsRussiansJewsWe all take a part of you.Another hated forign billionaire will simply buy them if they divest.
what about creative punishments? e.g. their keeper cannot use hands for the rest of the season
https://youtu.be/OTS1bLAKMfY?si=_woXQyvT-BVnU3xSciteh simps are calling up talksport
>>157961658City cheated and funnelled £900m into the club through illegal means (both civil and criminal). Therefore everything they've won from 2008 on wards is tainted by cheating.
>>157961647dissolving the club should be what happens. It's basically a fraud club, the owners should be kicked out of football. So for a start citeh would have no owners. They don't' even own the ground they play in as it's rented from the city council. So the club should not exist now and they would have to start from scratch if someone wants to try again.
>>157961661>>157961664The point of club soccer is to defeat enemy nation states in the champions league. Spain understands thisGermany understands thisFrance understands thisWhy don't you?
https://x.com/RobHarris/status/2104974299580776501LMAO, Sky News confronted City's CEO and he looks like a rabbit caught in headlights
>>157961649>muh CLI couldn't give a fuck about that dogshit money laundering operation.
Why are the blue team in all UK cities cheaters? Man City, Rangers, Chelsea
>>157961661>there aren’t English fans droning about how amazing the PL is whenever a random English team beats a random non-English teamYou don’t care more or less than others, let’s be real
If City get strip of their titles which would look more humiliating for the league.Having seasons marked as "Not Awarded" or the title given to who finished runners up?
>>157961681No it isn't, domestic football existed for decades before European football.Other nations only act this way because their domestic leagues are dead
Does being relegated and shat on like City might soon be, void any players' contracts? Will there be a mass exodus of their top players?
>>157961652Who do they think they are? Trying to win at football without an Indonesian snack partner. Disgraceful.
>>157961700depends if they have such clause in their contract, it might differ per player
>>157961693It would actually look great for the league and show that cheats aren't welcomed
>>157961636People have a bloodlust, yes. But it is deserved in this case. City are very obvious about itDon’t feel sympathetic because others were mean when your club in the 7th tier filed for bankruptcy
>>157961703V O I D
>>157961669Pep would come back
>>157961686>>157961699Sour grapes cope because the EPL is bad at the CL JFs mock your teams and league every year and you can't even win it for revenge on themNow you celebrate even lower odds
>>157961693It should just be voided.>>157961700There has to be. If they get relegated to the Championship, even if they could convince the players to stay for a season, they can't. Because the spending rules in the EFL are different. Haaland is on a million quid a week. You can't afford that and keep in the rules. SO you have to sell your players. That's even assuming you can convince them to stay. Only way this can work is if City can convince them to play for minimum wage for a season. There could be relegation clauses or mortality clauses but I doubt it. Anderson and Fernandez etc won't have been told this is coming. City clearly knew this was coming.
>>157961693asterisk/not awarded/void. then there'll always be a reminder for the rest of time what dirty cheats city have been
>>157961729>JFs mock your teams and league every yearOh nooo Hans and Manuel are laughing.Meanwhile we enjoy the best league in the world.Football is built on local, tribal rivalries. Nobody has a "rivalry" with Real Madrid or Bayern
>>157961676ohwhat's the punishment, are they getting relegated?
i'm very surprised this cucked country didn't bow to the pressure of upsetting a state owned club that holds considerable assets in the country by finding them guilty, still expect them to get off lightly because of said thing though
>>157961690If you really thought that all along, you may be retarded.
Good. They should punish all the clubs that profited from betting sponsorships next. Don't leave it at oil money
the only sham here are the FALSE accusations levied against INNOCENT Manchester City who are being investigated for being TOO GOOD at football
>>157961729Let them laugh, I couldn't give a shit. The CL was ruined once non-champions were allowed to enter.
>>157961741The Premier League could expel them or demote them, but the EFL wouldn't accept them, so it's more likely that the Premier League would deduct a huge amount of points to relegate them instead
Everyone now saves 15.5 million in next years FPL
>>157961652This is so shameless. These sons of camel herders think they are untouchable.
The worst part about this is they're blatantly guilty, tried to hide it and fought against the investigation and lawyers at every opportunity, wasting huge about of time and money for the league. Now if this goes to high court, that's wasting our already stretched courts time and money. Arabs are shameless and it's just a game to them. Because of their lack of cooperation, they should rule the owners need to leave any business relating to sport in the UK and then the government needs to investigate their financial dealings in the UK because their hedge funds own stakes in industries like WATER for fuck sake. The same industry that's been tragically mismanaged and suffered from repeated under investment from the stake holders.Put an end to foreign abuse of our country starting with this case. Seize their assets during investigations. Get them gone. They are no benefit to this nation.
>>157961730Unless things have changed, getting promoted from the Championship takes you out of EFL jurisdiction, plenty of clubs escaped FFP punishment that way, at least until they subsequently got relegated again, which wouldn't happen in this case. Also they could just loan out their world class players for a year and win the league with their reserves anyway. Relegating them is more a punishment to Championship sides than them.
>>157961685Was going to mention this, Soriano was absolutely shitting himself there.
>>157961729More English clubs have won the European Cup than have ever won it from any other country (six, when no other nation has produced more than three)English clubs also hold the record for most successive titles (six in succession between 1977 and 1982)Three English clubs have won it in the last seven years
>>157961630oh yeah that'll hurt the defence
>>157961756>The CL was ruined once non-champions were allowed to enter.Oh yeah can't wait for Real Madrid or Barca (Champions of Spain) to play Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur (Champions of Iceland). That totally won't be a one-sided slaughterfest! It's the Champions League, you become Champions of that League, it is not called League of Champions, a league made up of Champions.
>all titles voided>all assets seized>100 million fee for UAE>lifetime ban for UAE, they may never own a share of a club in the UK>club forced to start at the bottom of the pyramid under new owners>if they ever reach the professional circus again, the new owners have to pay a fee as wellI am being seriousAnd I wish for this to happen to many other „big“ clubs
This is all just /pol/ seethe because Muslims have taken over western Europe isn't it?
>>157961788How many English managers have won the Premier League?
Imagine being a Man City fan. Going from seeing them being basically like Bradford City-tier at Maine Road in the 90s, moving to the Commonwealth Games stadium and getting that mad Thai owner and getting established in the PL again.Then the Emiratis come in and it's all built on cheating and lying.Bit like Southampton last year but much worse.This is basically a Sand Tribe inflicting cultural damage on the UK for the sake of their own vanity.
>>157961795No, unlike Americans not everything is culture war politics in every aspect of life here
>>157961700It's been mentioned a season in the championship could let their best players go on loan for a season in Europe to save wages whilst they play young players and squad players. They'd still get promoted and their best come back to resume next year. This is why they need league two minimum and their owners banished from english football.
>>157961741Nobody knows. THe assumption is they will be deducted enough points to mathematically relegate them. After that they spend a season in the Championship, loan out their world class players to avoid EFL punishments and then get back into the PL the next season, get all their world class players back and win everything again.
>>157961109900 million?! jesus fucking christ, those other clubs that got fucked over should def get their pound of flesh
>>157961703New FIFA looking good
>>157961790>It's the Champions League, you become Champions of that League, it is not called League of Champions, a league made up of Champions.Absolutely incredible mental gymnastics there. It was clearly Champions' League, i.e. a league of champions. Then Uefa realised putting more teams in meant more money.
>>157961795bingo
>>157961795>western EuropeYou mean the jewish cartel called EPL?
>Negreira>CheatyLol bros. His legacy is forever ruined. He will be remembered as the biggest fraud in world football.
>>157961794unironically force 50+1 rule on all of UEFA and football will be saved
>>157961804There are few teams in Europe who can pay the full wages of City's best players.
>>157961796All of them are English because they moved to England.
>>157961744You can deny it all you want, you guys are awfully cocky about your league and how great the „English“ way of football is, especially considering how international the league isIf you pretend no Englishman ever got a smug grin and felt the need to brag about how strong the Premier League is after seeing foreign-owned Chelsea fielding 10 non-Englishmen coached by a non-Englishman beat Juventus, the only retarded person here is youI don’t blame you, it is natural to a degree. And surely some of you really don’t care. And the PL is the most competitive league indeed
>>157961384Would have been perfect if that was how arsenal finally got their title
>>157961797They own large stakes of our utilities too. Kick Arab investment out of the UK. This is their playground and they lie, cheat and scam. They are not investing in water infrastructure, hence the hosepipe bans. No new reservoirs in like 30 years. Big Andy needs to put on his big boy shoes. Get arabs out of our economy.
>Premier League commission accuses some witnesses of giving false evidence and being dishonestlol
>almost a billion in fake sponsorship moneyLmao, if they don't get stripped of every title and sent down to the national league then the whole system is corrupt and the PL will be forever tainted and can't be taken seriously as a top league anymore
The worst part of all this is the hypocrisy.
>>157961796English football began in 1888, Lesley. I see that no Scotch manager has won the title in Scotland since 2011 though
>>157961827If Hansi Flick wins a CL with Barca and brings City back to the Prem i consider him fully exposed
>cucked into doing the bidding of american billionaires just to harm the EPL in the CL, the battleground of domestic leagues and superiority in europelove that special relationship
>>157961818>Champions' LeagueIt's called Champions League, not Champions' League (you're adding a possessive clause). Again, do you really want PSG playing Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi (Champions of Finland)? Or Arsenal playing Floriana F.C.? What about Bayern playing FK Sutjeska Nikšić (Champions of Montenegro)?
uefa needs to give us the 3 points of that last game, not fair we had to play against a cheating club
>>157961172You'll do nothing but take it, along with the hundreds of other citeh fans.
>>157961829Yes, but only in combination with a salary cap of like 150 million (purchase parity)And no gay exceptions like we allow here
>>157961788>plumberball
>>157961840>how arsenal finally got their titleWhat? They won the title last year, anon.... And they had three other PL titles....
So does this the titles no longer count?
>>157961844You make a good point. Public opinion is overwhelming. Everyone agrees it must be a strict punishment. No doubt they'll fight it but premier league holds all the cards. Their reputation is on the line, they better punish them severely.
>>157961871Yes that's what I'm saying (writing) (typing). It would have been much funnier if city won last year and arsenal only got to win this year due to this
time to update the logo, the ship is sinking
>>157961853And the last English manager to win the league was in the 90s. All those resources and you can't produce one good manager.
>>157961172>weare you an oil sheik pedo?
So essentially>sponsors aren't giving City more money to remain with the big boys>turn on Etihad Airways VPN and wire the club a fuckload of cash from your vault>City brags about this epic Etihad Airways sponsorship contract and reports it as real sponsor revenue>same thing is done with other City sponsors>City reports ever-increasing revenue that appears legal and happily spends a fuckton of sheikhbux on trophies and players like HaalandAm I right?
>>157961836>taking shitposting seriously
you have to nuke the team plus null and void all trophies, anything less than that is just not gonna cut it
Won't someone please think about Liam & Noel Gallagher?
it's also short sighted to seethe about this because haaland(greatest player in the modern era, possibly all time) would have gone to enemy leliga without that money
the biggest clown show would be if they stripped them of titles but also converted runner-ups to winners, I don't even know if I want that to happen or not
>>157961880Oh right. Well either way they had titles before so, it'd be more funny if it was Spurs.
>>157961895Look at my flag. The answer is yes
>haaland(greatest player in the modern era, possibly all time)lmfao
everton 25m - 8 points city 900m - 288 points
>City going to be expelled from the football league>Warwickshire won the cricket>Kemi and the Tories probably back in before the end of 2027Life's good, lads
is this all just seethe from Manure? we saw similar seethe in the NFL when the chiefs fake dynasty endedyou're not coming back lil bro kek it's arsenals time to win
5 out of the last 6god damn they raped and gaped your leaguemaking you look like bundesligano wonder you're so angry
>>157961910Let's be realistic here
no but seriously how do you hide £900 million? What does this mean for the tax they were paying?
During all these years City's only serious competition was Liverpool who got that eternal choker vibe anyway. Other than that a one-off Chelsea under Conte. Arseshitters didn't get good before Pep was burnt out. United wouldn't have won it even with the City money. If City had played it square they would have only one or two titles less
>>157961844>sent down to non leaguehow can an owner who are frauds even be allowed to operate in England ever again? Citeh won't exist. Maybe they will be required to sell the club and citeh could get away with being demoted to non league and as they don't' own their ground will be playing in front of their true fans - all 10 of them.
>>157961907fuck those nonces
>>157961951Exactly
The monumental seethe when shitty only gets a fine, a transfer embargo and a 30p reductionHalf of eternal arsenal thread will rope kek
>>157961884Mad how English managers have won the title in Scotland and Wales in the last couple of years then
>>157961856>It's called Champions League, not Champions' League (you're adding a possessive clause).In that case, why were only champions of leagues or the European Cup allowed to enter until 1997?
Defeats the cheater.
>>157961856who cares. The European Cup was just another cup competition. UEFA being greedy bastards wanted to make more money and so expanded it into a shitty league.
Genuinely think they should be banned from football entirely for 5 years
>>157961961this kek, they actually think they'll do something bignothing ever happens
Will the retarded faggots spamming "muh nothing ever happens bro" over the past few days take responsibility and commit suicide?
dw lads UCL belongs to either PSG or Barcelona. Not a single english club can compete against these two today
R.I.P yee cheating cunts.
>>157961907Wonder what they'll do next summer when the Emptyhad gets razed to the ground and turned into a Tesco.
What's he thinking right now?
>>157962002
>>157962010>tattoo directly on your adams appleHow is this not seen as the gayest possible thing you can do?
>>157961886yep and also misrepresenting what they're actually paying in transfers and wages. remember what a "steal" haaland was at 50 million quid?
>>157962002I've been thinking about it for 15 years but my club are doing okay at the momentWhen City, who I liked until around 2014, get a massive points deduction and end up in the second tier then I will apologise but not off meself
>>157961958This is a point about the owner, how can he now be considered a fit and proper owner?
>>157962010>enzo>thinking
Seriously though all the players selling their image rights to a supposedly independent company that turns out is fully funded by the Abu Dhabi Group is some cartoon super villain shit lol oh would you adam and eve it they don't exist any more
>>157962010not a thought in his head, someone from the club just tells him ''everything is ok'' and he says ''is ok? ok all is ok'' and goes back to staring into space
>NOO HOW DID THEY FOUND OUT, OUR DISGUISES WERE WORLD CLASS
>>157962059>>157962050I really hope there's a doc on this one daythe investigators must have been going is it really all this blatant, surely we're missing something
>>157962002Save this for when City are sent to non-league football, all titles voided, and UAE fined at least 100 million plus prevented from ever owning an English football club againIf nothing along those lines happens, NEHbros are right again. You shouldn’t get too cocky before the actual punishment is implemented. No one in their right mind ever doubted City are guilty
And now watch City get bought by another american company (owned by blackedrock and vanguard)
>>157961795Retard.
>>157962074Buying city is a bad proposition because their value is only due to arabs injecting hundreds of millions into it.Trying to run a legit business via them would have you losing money
>>157961198Underrated
>>157962074IT'S TIME FOR HIS GLORIOUS RETURN>replaces Haaland with Osimhen for £300m
>>157962074maybe deadpool can buy them when they're in league 2 lol
>>157962074>watch City get bought byBold of you to assume anyone wants to buy a club with provably zero assets going for it.
>>157962010>can I go back to Chelsea for 60 million and my dih tucked between my thighs
when do we all get to raid city for their players?
>>157961336That was for match fixing. They weren't the only ones involved but got the harsher punishment because they got benefitted the most.
What would you say is worse morally?>accounting tricks to get around league financial rules>stealing another clubs scouting database>bullying refs and the press for favorable decisions and coverage
So financial fair play means clubs can only spend a lot of money if they are big clubs already? small clubs just aren't allowed even if perfectly normal sandbox companies are willing to sponsor them?thats some awesome fairplay
UAE owners should>lose ownership of City>never be allowed to own - partially or fully - any club in England, preferably in all of UEFA>pay a fine of at least a hundred million poundsCity should>lose ownership of all titles won under these circumstances>lose all assets provided to the club by the UAE ownership>start at the bottom of the pyramid>be subjected to a strict salary cap and other financial regulations for at least five years if they ever reach 5th tier and above againCity’s eventual new owner should>be required to pay a fee of about 10 million pounds upon eventually returning to the 5th tier and aboveAny breach and the club is dissolved forever, obvious successor clubs (United of Manchester in blue) included
>>157962137https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C6X9vOEkU
>>157962137nobody wants this man city mistake to happen again, small clubs belong at the bottom
>>157962137>football should be fair and less capitalisticokay...>meaning pedophile monster billionaires should be able to buy every player and win everything...
>70M to Madrid plus tipHow did he get away with it
>>157961951They were inflating their income, if anything the tax man owes them.
>>157962136For me its>murdering several Italians
>>157962147Thats very buyern munchen of youi guess chelsea just lucked out because they had their fun before the financial fair play rules?>>157962162i'm saying its not really fair play when the bigger clubs can just outspend the smaller ones and stay big forever. Ever since the Bosman arrest football has become more unfair and stale, with the same teams always winning and buying up every semi decent player
>>157962229>I may have raped sixty women, but you, judge, are a HYPOCRITE!>what do you mean I'm not getting released?
>>157962137No they can spend whatever they like outside of squad costs, head coach wages, agents’ fees and amortisation or impairment of transfer fees. They can develop their youth system and churn out the best players in the world. They can also build 150,000 seat stadiums and pay people to sit in £10 million seats. They can't just buy the league with brown envelopes though.
>>157962229>i guess chelsea just lucked out because they had their fun before the financial fair play rules?Yes, you can't retrospectively punish somebody for a law that didn't exist at the time
>>157962137Your heart is in the right place, it is a fucked up system in many waysBut you should at least attempt to understand where FFP appliesRegardless, City MUST be nuked for this
Reminder there are genuinely people on here who genuinely thought City's sponsorship income was legitimate lmao
>>157962291Did some of them have dick-sucking lips and a penchant for long phone calls?
>>157962137These rules were brought in to stop all the clubs collapsing all the time and have been a raging success, look at the amount of Italian clubs that collapsed in the 00s
>>157962299kek
>>157962278They could however have made the rules more reasonable so that its not impossible to reach the top level of the game without breaking them.
>>157962299mmmmmm wouldn't wanna mess with him
who will DSL support now? always struck me as a former chelsea fan
>>157962310They're not designed for nation states, just wealthy owners who could run out of money at any time, like Milan Mandaric at Portsmouth or Parmalat with Parma
>>157962321LARP as a City lifelong for a few more months to show it to people here Then just follow whatever he thinks might help him enact his revenge the bestThat being said: I still think this is a nothingburger and that City will get away with a slap on the wrist. And this would obviously make DSL gloat like crazyMay God have mercy on us
https://x.com/TheRedmenTV/status/2104984193088249982Man City fan on BBC radio saying they're like the suffragettes
So they get relegated to league 2?
>>157962345>I still think this is a nothingburger and that City will get away with a slap on the wristI don't think the PL would lay out the scale of cheating so transparently if the plan was a slap on the wrist, they'd probably hide most of it, but there will probably be another 2 years of appeals before any punishment is known
>>157962247you seem a bit obsessed with rape>>157962250So they should've just sold a skybox for 100 million a year to sheik simsalabin instead of using companies? >>157962278yea yea rules are rules, the point is the rules are retarded and just protect the big clubs>>157962303I thought this was about the premier league financial fair play rules? if these are eufa rules someone needs to look at PSG already
>>157962330So let owners invest as much as they want provided its paid upfront.
>>157962310Any club can build a huge stadium. Any club can develop young players. There's no financial restriction on any of this and it's exactly how Liverpool and Utd became the big clubs.
>>157962374I really want to believe, but I can’t. I hope I am wrongThey have to get nuked for this, you can’t just deduct 20 points and give them a transfer ban or some shit
>>157962391>I thought this was about the premier league financial fair play rulesBrought in to mirror UEFA rules
>>157962391>So they should've just sold a skybox for 100 million a year to sheik simsalabin instead of using companies?That would ultimately have been a smarter move than cooking the books and hiding the evidence. They could have built a hotel and sold it. Sold the women's team... So many other things they could have done instead of what they did.
>>157962396>So let owners invest as much as they want provided its paid upfrontThey can, just not on things like huge contracts they might not be able to pay in a years time
>>157962398>Any club can build a huge stadium. Any club can develop young players.thats delusionalever since the bosman arrest you cant develop young players anymore. Once they show any kind of talent some big club comes with a lot of money and your youth player is gone with barely any compensation
>>157962374The longer this drags on the worse it'll look for the PL than it already is. They'll now want to wrap this up quicker than 2 years.
>>157962321>DSLDick sucking lips?
>>157962454Yeah but there's probably not a lot they can do is there? City have the best jew lawyers and they're strategy is to delay as much as possible
>>157962391UEFA's rules are even more stringent, hence Villa having to have a firesale to not be in breach. I believe the current Prem rules are 85% of income can be spent on your squad, UEFA 75%. Although I think they are normalising them soon.
sham pain supernova
>>157962428>>157962440So how does PSG get away with it? Nobody outside of france watches their competition games
>>157962489>league revenue with psg = a lot>league revenue without psg = a little
>>157962489IDK desu
>>157962398Matchday revenue is 15% of big clubs income. Commercial is 50%. You could gift Brentford all of Anfield's revenue and the annual income difference would still be 400m. Not to mention stadiums don't come for free, Arsenal's was a millstone around their neck until they paid it off. Developing players doesn't really help either when they end up at the clubs you're competing with, courtesy of Dunkin' Donuts.

>>157962447Owners are absolutely not allowed to just pay transfer fees and wages upfront.
>>157962453But in this situation City are the biggest club with the deepest pockets. The club could have bought up half of Cheshire and made entire towns a youth player factory with all their families living in mansions. You give the father a scouting job and pay him 7 figues to go and find other prodigies. The kid is not signing for anyone else in that situation. Yes it's a long game, but if City had done that in 08 they wouldn't be in this mess. Prediction: Liverpool will do this with Bezos on board. >>157962489Don't know, ask someone who pays attention to farmer's leagues.
lol are you seeing this shit
>>157962565Yes that's what I said, they can invest, just not on contracts etc
>>157962585what the fuck were the auditors looking at all this time like how the fuck does this slide
>>157962589Yes and I'm saying if the rationale is about stopping clubs going bust, then they should be allowed to do that.
>>157962585lmao come on man
>>157962527i asked AILike City, PSG was heavily investigated by UEFA after their historic €400+ million double-signing of Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in 2017. UEFA initially cleared PSG, but later attempted to reopen the case under intense political pressure from rival European clubs.PSG immediately appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that UEFA had missed its own internal, strict legal deadline to review and reopen the case. CAS ruled in PSG's favor on a procedural technicality, forcing UEFA to completely close the investigation.Ultimately, both clubs pushed financial boundaries to their absolute limits, but City is facing consequences for allegedly hiding how the money got into the club, while PSG simply told regulators where the money was coming from and dared them to stop it.basicly PSG just told them, yeah its state funded money whatcha gonna do? and probably bribed some CAS and FIFA members
>>157961172(You) will personally do nothing.They will kick and scream but I hope they throw the book at them and make an example of City so that no other foreign ownership group gets the idea to try this shit again in the future.
>>157962570City already do that mate
>>157962608>>157962512
>>157962601Owners are not going to pay 5 year contracts in a lump sum anon
>>157962617Agreed, but clearly they didn't focus on that. Apparently there's £900m they thought was better spent elsewhere.
>>157962596Auditing profession is fucked, they're too scared of upsetting client and losing the audit next year
>>157961287>Arabs are now using the Jewish playbook.Well I never...
>>157962363If they get demoted it's going to be massively unfair on the teams already in that division.
>>157962657They will have to trim the squad and send players out on loan to comply with EFL rules.
>>157962632So why ban it? Saudi's clearly could and would.
>>157962677>Saudi's clearly could and wouldSee>>157962330>They're not designed for nation states, just wealthy owners who could run out of money at any time
>>157962672Their 3rd string beat Norwich 5 nil. They aren't going to have trouble getting out of the Championship.
Arteta was the assistant manager at Man CityCheating cunt
>>157961345>loss of earningswell, just ask shake moneybox for more money then
>>157962585DEFINITELY LEGIT
>>157962692Right so owners who aren't going to run out of money shouldn't be limited, as their club is not going to go bust. Or alternatively everyone could admit that stopping clubs going bust isn't the real reason these rules are in place.
I wonder how much they were paying their accountants who very obviously knew they were committing wide scale fraud and should probably be facing jail time of white collar crime was taken seriously
>>157962454it's a bad look for the PL as is. Only way to save face is to throw the book at City
>>157962732That is precisely the reason it's in place lad clubs were going bust left and right when they were designed
>>157962749The accountants will be struck off by ICAEW/ACCA, and the directors will probably be banned from being directors in UK companies again at the very least
>>157962700Then send them deeper down
So this is what Newcastle fans have been crying about when they say they can't to spend money because the club still makes fuck all compared to the big 6 despite have owners worth a fuckton trillion. I never would have guessed the Saudis that literally make the team dress in a Saudi Flag kit would be honourable owners but here we are. The Abu Boys just blatantly said fuck it fraud the contracts, yes Lucozade totally gave us £55 million to run some banner ads in the emptihad it's all legit it's all above board another trophy pls
>>157962775Curious then that they did nothing to stop Sheffield Wednesday downfall but have been remarkably handy at stopping Newcastle's rise.
>>157962749probably just shown a lot of income as >sponsoring from sandycorp co, based in abu dabi, 20 million a yearmeanwhile the sheik paid sandycorp 20 million a year
>>157962797>Lucozadekek
>>157962700Idk why people are acting like city are equivalent to Juve and will have world class loyalists who stay on for the club. It’s a team of shady mercenaries who will flock to whichever clubs are offering the best wage packet. That includes most of their youth system as well.They’ll have to rebuild, but the new players coming in will not only have the shame of playing for the cheating club, but also know they won’t be getting all the secret villas and yachts gifted to them that previous players did because the financial regulators will now be breathing down their necks.
They'll go after everyone that work(ed), for the club.There's NO WAY people working at City didn't knew about this shit.Players/managers getting paid huge wages on the side KNEW about it all.And the fucking cherry on top of the shitstorm cake is the bald fraud.>Negreira at Barça for years>Won the Bundes with the club that wins it every year>Had cheat money to buy all the players he wanted for years>He was probably getting paid on the side aswell.His legacy is completely tarnished now.
>>157962806Not that curious anon, it's not fool proof, shit owners still exist, but it has been hugely successful, 7 seria a clubs were liquidated from 00 to 05, ffp was designed and formulated in the years afterwards and they don't go bust anymore
>>157962842Same thing that happened to Kawhi in the similar Clippers scandal, they've got a union protecting them and plausible deniability. A few of the people who sit on computers calculating where money goes might have liability, but they'll at most get money laundering charges and suspended sentences, anyway the hack/leak of the information itself was illegal which gives them a legal out. City's ownership is effectively a nation-state that is a critical British Ally in a very contemptuous region. So ultimately nothing will happen there.
>>157962842Are you talking about convicted steroid abuser peptide fraudiolel?
>>157962925Mad how that gets memoryholed.
Are dsl and Liam the only City fans in the world?
>>157962908I guess having several clubs with a permanent and growing advantage over the rest of the English league provided by companies with nothing to do with football is the only way we could have stopped Italian clubs going bust, such is life.
>Pep when he gets pulled in front of court
it actually makes a lot of sense that the premier league knew this was going to happen / was angling for this verdict. arsenal had great, great "luck" with refereeing decisions all year, which greatly influenced the title race in their favour. you have to feel like the premier league saw the writing on the wall and did everything to avoid another man city title once it became clear they were tainted
>>157962908>7 seria a clubs were liquidated from 00 to 05,because they spend too muchnothing unfair about that
phone isn't ringingwhat can i do nowautumn draws near
>drug cheat as player>drug/ref cheat at barca>cheat at CityI shan't be rating him amongst the elite managers
these lot were half the size of everton claiming to have more revenue than real madrid
>>157962957You also had Leeds, Chelsea, Portsmouth, Leicester, Derby, West Ham who all went into administration or narrowly avoided administration in those years, you can domain about the roles of you like in terms of restricting growth, which is true but they were brought in to stop clubs going bust and have worked
unlimited red cartel victory
>>157963047So why exactly are we all clamouring to throw the book at Man City when they haven't done anything to increase the risk of them going bust?
>>157963084Because they broke the rules and the law for years mate, are you thick? If you don't like the rules that's fine, but they were designed to stop clubs going bust and they work, no point denying it because it's very clear
I can see city getting off very lightly with a financial penalty which is essential no punishment. Their fans have been insufferable and itll only get worse after that. Bare minimum the owners should be banned from the sport.
>>157963087They committed fraud and none of us support city.
>>157963113Right but breaking rules made to stop teams going bust doesn't seem like a liquidate the club, strip them of trophies, and send them to the national league kind of crime when they haven't actually gone bust nor at any point come near to going bust.
>>157963113stay small and irrelevant
>>157963163Yeah breaking the rules for 10.years and the law isn't a big deal, I'm sure you'd say the same for the Turkish barbers laundering money down the road
>>157963162Nobody really supports city. Which is crazy when they’ve spent the last decade playing some of the best football anywhere in the world.
>>157963163They haven't gone bust, but Leicester are nearly there, plus all the other teams who have been harmed during the period of fraud. It was called Financial Fair Play for a reason and they have violated the rules they signed up for. It's so bad the integrity of the entire league is being questioned.
>>157963191seems like there is a case for these sham teams to set up their own "super league" and they can spend all the money they want and all the merc players can flock there to their joke league
>>157962100Their terrible reputation is an asset of sorts
>>157963084always the victims never your fault
>>157963190If the Turkish Barbers were breaking rules designed to stop barbers going bust by investing more money in their staff and equipment I'm not sure I'd want them punished particularly harshly.>>157963204I've been reliably informed that the rules are just about stopping teams going bust so sporting integrity doesn't seem to apply here.
Soulless fucking club. Good riddance
>>157963163If you achieved success because you illicitly put £1bn into a club, bought players you shouldn't have been able to buy, signed managers you shouldn't have been able to sign and prevented other clubs from signing players, you've gained a competitive advantage over other clubs. You've done this for over a decade. This has allowed you to gain 'legit' money. Your entire club is based on cheating.
>>157963328Money laundering laws aren't designed for that mate
>>157961312kinda cute, i bet he slept with many girls(male)
Their punishment should be extreme on the basis they're fighting a case where they have no case. They are purposefully time wasting, wasting resources and prolonging the process as long as they can. This is effectively cheating a system that exists to hold cheats accountable. They show no remorse, not respect for the league or rival teams. This organisation should no longer exist in its current form. The league needs to tear the club apart, banish the owners and send the club into the abyss. I hope every club creates cases against them for their losses.
>>157963238Don’t we already have that in Saudi?
KEKEK
>>157963373mental how he thought it was a good idea to go cry and /soc/ that he was sucking and fucking guys but didn't feel 'love'.
>>157963388Fucking delusional
>>157963388They're exposing themselves as the worst fans in England, and in Europe they're second to PeeSG. They're insufferable arrogant people.
>>157963328>I've been reliably informedGood for you. I've been reliably informed that accounting fraud is covered by numerous rules and actual laws.
i personally cant wait for an appeal. want to see how they explain where 900m came from
pathetic witch huntred cartel dont want competition, nothing to do with financial responsibility when MANU is over 1 billion in debtmeanwhile newcastle etc. arent allowed to grow even without any debt
>>157963430According to some legal expert on Talkshite there is zero legal (aka criminal) issues here. Which is absolute nonsense because surely City gave faulty data to HMRC et al?
>>157961109i rate this premier league statement 0.5 bintangs out of 5 bintangs
>>157963441Vannon kautta Kalevalan kääröjen, että aion hävittää viimeisenkin suomalaisen /sp/stä…
>>157963381essentially yes, so UAE could house citeh instead and all their fans can go and watch them over their. Would only need a Cessna to fly them over
>>157963450It's that same "legal expert" they've had for months who was convinced in the summer they'd get off with it
love the media having to act like this is some novel, new discovery because they couldn't address it at all prior to this
>>157963191>>157963291i only support my local team, but i kinda liked city because they had fun games and actually had some good football going on under PepBut maybe thats just meof course for someone supporting a Eredivisie team, every PL team is a big money team
>>157963441A company being in debt isn't the same as a person being in debt.Loans are generally a much cheaper way of raising funds than via equityt. accountant
>>157963450If they have declared the payments properly, then presumably that's a civil matter between them and the PL/FA/UEFA.
>>157963460>>157963460it's just so obvious red cartel dont want allow teams to grow and challenge them. very pathetic
>>157963515>If they have declared the payments properlyThey haven't mate, have you read anything about it at all?
>>157963441and yet, despite United being in debt, they are keeping within the rules. because they are not spending more than they earn (they did actually do this but the PL gave them x20 times the amount of COVID leeway that other clubs got).city illegally put £1bn into the club against the rules, everything, their entire success, is via cheating. sorry.
Nothing. Ever. Happens.
>>157963535>City fan is a pedoShock
>>157963497honestly being a billon in debt is completelty fucked up situation compared to city's or newcastle money situation ever was or ever will be
>>157963555City's dispute with the PL about the source of revenue is entirely different from any accounting HMRC does. HMRC literally do not care where any money comes from, only how much of it is taxable.
>>157963556>city illegally put £1bn into the club against the rules, everything, their entire success, is via cheating. sorry.yes but the rules are stupidThey should've just got ''visit abu dhabi'' on their shirt for 100 million a year
>>157963556they did right, if the rules dont allow others to spend then teams must cheat. city is not even the biggest spenders in the league, manu and chelseas spend way more
ok but what actually happens to them?
>>157961681Do you honestly think Madrid fans would support Barca against Arsenal?
>>157963634owners can't bankroll a club, that is why they set up fake sponsorship deals to appear as if that money was from those sources and not from the owner.
>>157963623Yes and City were hiding taxable income with second contracts, have you read the verdict at all? You know Rangers were liquidated for hiding taxable payments by HMRC?
>>157961827the catalonian courts are never punishing them for negreira lol
>David Bernstein, the former Manchester City chairman, reacted to the news by telling Radio 5 Live that City “cannot stay in the league, they have to suffer”.>He said: “It is damming beyond belief. My immediate thoughts are, should the board continue? Should the people involved be suspended immediately?>“I think it’s really terrible. There’s a school of thought with lawyers that is deny, deny, deny, but this is a football club that is part of a league and the whole credibility of the league is at stake here.>“The sanctions cannot just be financial, so it’s got to be way beyond that. If the appeal fails, Manchester City cannot stay in the league, they have to suffer. And I say that as a supporter and a fan.”this guy was their cult hero wasn't he
>>157963636Again, what part of 'they spent more than the rules allowed' do you not get? Chelsea and United spend a lot, yes, but they also spend within the rules. Because they make enough money not to break the rules. City didn't. Do you think it's 'fair' that United, in 2008, when they were biggest club in England, got £5m less than City's sponsorships? How does that track as fair that the biggest club with most fans and biggest and widest appeal were getting less money than City who signed sponsorships with their own owner to get more money? Then lied about it.Why do you and your ilk keep repeating 'but other clubs spend money'? What part of 'they don't spend it using illicitly gained methods' do you not get?>>157963634>mate, you're under arrest for killing that man>BUT THE RULES ARE STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tough shit, you agreed to them. it's like when a gamer buys an online game, signs the EULA, agrees to the ToS and then cheats and gets banned and starts screaming the rules are unfair. you cheated. you agreed to the rules, you said you'd follow them and then you didn't. so you're getting punished.
>>157963350Not my club and I agree 100%, in fact I go further and think ALL commercial income, sham or otherwise, is an illegitimate source of sporting advantage. However apparently the rules aren't about the legitimacy of methods of gaining sporting advantage, they are about stopping clubs going bust. Which makes me wonder why what Man City has done is so bad?
>>157963645city is biggest team followed in usa, and top 3 internationally. if they get relegated premier league will lose 15 - 30 billion a year because city owners pump 10b to UK every year + TV money loss etcPrem will be biggest loser here in every case. Points deduction does nothing because everybody knows the winner of the season will then be Asterix winner. If city is not playing prem everybody knows the winner is a Loser team that is winning asterix cups until city is allowed to compete, so all the achievements withotu city in league will mean nothing and all the football fans know it deep down in their heart
>>157963726>city is biggest team followed in usalol no >if they get relegatedwould they really do that?
>>157963450I'm not sure HMRC is going to be that fussed about them paying tax on non-existent income.
>>157963719Are you saying the rules aren't about stopping clubs going bust?
>>157963726the delusionometer is going off the charts!
>>157963634They aren't allowed to do that because there are rules that say sponsorships can't go over "market value", whats market value you ask? Well it can't be more than the big clubs get of course.
>>157963677Yeah, I've seperated the 2 issues in my mind and wasn't clear about that. My bad. Yes the payments you mention would seem to be criminal. The revenue is purely civil, *presumably*.
>>157963757The purpose of a system is what it does.
>>157963751If you relegate city all the achievements in the league will be worth nothing, because all the football fans mean the best team is out and all the championships are ASTERIX winsthis would result in a massive loss of veiwership and interest, as international people move to La league, ucl and bundesliga immediately. Nobody wants to watch loser teams compete with each other who wins the asterix
>>157963814kek honestly it might increase interest and viewership
>>157963810Exactly, and the amount of clubs going into administration/receivership/liquidation across Europe has plummeted since the introduction of the rules, by the design of said rules
>>157963826no it does not we've seen this in other leagues and sports already when the best ones are punished out the interest falls massively
>If you relegate city all the achievements in the league will be worth nothing, because all the football fans mean the best team is out and all the championships are ASTERIX winsthis would result in a massive loss of veiwership and interest, as international people move to La league, ucl and bundesliga immediately. Nobody wants to watch loser teams compete with each other who wins the asterix
>>157963831In England, exactly one club has broken into the elite during the FFP years, Manchester City, and it turns out they weren't allowed to do that, because of the rules. Meanwhile several clubs have either gone entirely bust or faced winding up orders before a last minute rescue.The system appears to be far more efficient at doing one than the other.
>>157963881clearly you just realized what i said was trueeven YOU (red cartel fan) would stop watching the league as you would be ridiculed to win the league every time (NO CITY FINALLY CAN WIN CHANTS) instead of victory parade
>>157963881nobody watches shitty thoughbeit
>>157963918What is the elite?And no, it is far far more efficient at stopping clubs going bust across Europe, which is where the foundation of the rules came into place, you can keep being obtiss about if you lie and pretending to not understand I don't really care, it was a UEFA initiative and if youre dumb enough to think England doesn't have to abide by it then I'll just laugh at you desu
RULES FOR THEE BY NOT FOR ME
>>157963695>tough shit, you agreed to them. it's like when a gamer buys an online game, signs the EULA, agrees to the ToS and then cheats and gets banned and starts screaming the rules are unfair. you cheated. you agreed to the rules, you said you'd follow them and then you didn't. so you're getting punished.So i can't say the rules are stupid? do i not have my disagreement loicense?
>>157963388>David Bellend
>>157964045I am sure Lance Armstrong could have said the rules were stupid after winning 7 Tour De France's only to be stripped of them because his cheating was found out. But even Lance admitted he cheated, citeh still saying they are totally innocent of everything. Amazing levels of delusion.
>>157963994The elite are the teams consistently finishing in the Champions League spots. I don't know why you keep bringing up Europe, its only very recently that our rules have changed to match UEFAs, they certainly weren't the same during the period Man City is being charged with. English teams qualifying for Europe have to abide by UEFAs rules, but the Premier League in general doesn't have to.
Unironic fair punishment:1 relegation to league two2 10 year transfer ban above 10 milion3 repayment of all money stolen through "victory" twice the actual amount4 have to release every player earning more than 10 million a year5 1 billion fine to charity
>>157964158you are missing the vital element. The owners, how can they simply be left without any punishment? So that would mean the directors are banned from the UK (UEFA would ban as well). Same applies to the owner, that leaves citeh with having to be sold to someone. Who is going to buy a club that faces massive financial claims against it? There is nothing left to buy as it would take years to sort through all the libel action.
>>157964125>I don't know why you keep bringing up Europe, its only very recently that our rules have changed to match UEFAs, they certainly weren't the same during the period Man City is being charged with.Premier League FFP was introduced in 2013, two years after UEFA, the football league actually introduced them in 2012, presumably you also think that was to protect the red cartel>The Football League have voted to introduce Financial Fair Play regulations in all three of their divisions starting next season.https://www.skysports.com/football/news/7701878/financial-fair-play-voted-in
>>157964111Because paying good salary to a ball boy or Masasge Physiotherapist lady is not actual cheating, this just massive witch hunt cope that only will hurt premier league bottom line massively
>>157964229Another billion personal fine forced selling of club, sales "revenue" is donated to charity too. Lifetime ban for everyone involved in all uefa and in particular english football activities.Unfortunately the club owners are absurdly powerful people and that will never happen
>>157964300UEFA banned citeh from European competition and that ban got overturned by CAS. So whilst they no doubt have some leverage I don't think it's going to much use in this case. Reminder they also have so much money they can simply walk away as it probably is too much hassle to keep citeh afloat anyway. They won't be able to operate in the PL again, Their one card was already used up delaying it hoping it would just go away. They already have been found guilty, an appeal isn't going to change anything.
>>157964045You can say the rules are stupid, but it's weird you said they're stupid after you signed agreements agreeing to the rules and then broke them and got caught breaking them and are now going to be punished for breaking them. Why weren't they stupid when they signed them? Why didn't you challenge them back then? What about this do you not get?
Premier League can't sanction a move to League 1. The most they can do is hit them with enough points to guarantee relegation to the Championship, impose a several year transfer ban, and fine them.
>>157964411>but it's weird you said they're stupid after you signed agreementsbut i did not sign any agreements?the rules are stupid
>>157964498EPL can't sanction it but the English FA can.
>>157964498They can actually just kick them out lad, then it would be up to the EFL to decide if and where they would take them
Funny how this could all lead to criminal issues depending on how it is all recorded and worded. If City got £100m from a sponsorship and wrote it as such, that's fine for HMRC. If City wrote it got £100m from a sponsorship but it was only £20m in reality and £80m came through via other means, this is not 'creative accounting' this is;>fraud by false representation>false accounting>fraudulent trading>cheating the public revenueSo, it is really important to see the actual books on the matter.If City declared this £100m fully, there is no tax evasion, regardless where it came from. If the money was used in corporation-tax returns, VAT, PAYE, accounts or other tax reporting, then it could be considered tax evasion. If HMRC, Companies House, auditors, banks, investors, or another relevant authority also given false information then there is a major issue there, but again, can't find that detail.If the question is>If the Premier League commission finds that City deliberately represented money as genuine commercial sponsorship revenue when it wasn't actually sponsorship revenue, why wouldn't that potentially constitute fraud outside football?Then the answer is>it potentially could. What prevents us from jumping directly from the Premier League finding to "fraud" or "tax evasion" is that we'd need to know exactly what representations were made, to whom, why they were made, what the underlying transactions actuallyTherefore, it is quite possible that the owners, execs, CEOs etc at City are in more trouble than they think.
>>157964546You saying the rules are stupid is your own personal opinion, but doesn't make the matter any different. City cheated and your personal opinion doesn't change that. Everything they've done, every trophy they've won, every player they signed, all done on the back of cheating. City are cheaters. Not a one off, but over a decade of cheating, nearly a billion pounds worth of cheating.Your fee fees don't matter here, sorry, cheater :)
>On 22 May 2026, the club announced that the new north stand would be named in honour of their most successful manager, Pep Guardiola, whose departure, after ten years at the club, coincided with its opening.[51]
Its day two and they still dont understand what rules are.
Buying Savio for 20m and selling him 2 years and 2 goals later for 80m is perfectly legitimate btw nothing to see here
>>157964546
>>157964596>Your fee fees don't matter here, sorry, cheater :)wait so now i cheated? wtf did i do?
City fan group lmao, pathetic wretches
>>157964728Yes, you supported fraud.
>>157964737>body of irrefutable evidence existsthen why didn't they show it during the case? why did they hold it back for the appeal*? It makes no sense.*note they cannot appeal the decision under PL rules, they can only appeal the process, an appeal does not allow the adding of evidence
>>157961148I remember people were calling this out like 10 years ago, took way too long but I'm glad there are finally consequences for it.
>>157964748>Yes, you supported fraud.but i support my local team. We actually went up against City three times in the CL last decade and i've been to all three of those games
>>157962585jus a leetle bitsí sí sí now jus a leetle moreokay morea leetle beet more
So does anything happen to the individual players that were getting payments from these seperate offshore accounts?
City fans saying this doesn't take away their memories is like finding out your dad got convicted of banging your sister and saying 'ah well he took us on some class holidays to Tenerife'
>>157964903'remember when pep fingered are jayden on pepsi max at blackpool'
>>157964897HMRC rapes them.
in the long run this is good for real City fans, as in those who supported the Maine Road iteration of the club.you're about to get your soulful mid team back. realistically this was the only way it could ever have happened.
>>157961109KWAB
>>157964897>>157964931>Welcome to Al-Hilal!
>>157964897I'd have to imagine that whatever the British equivalent of the IRS is, they are fucking salivating at the thought of going after those guys on tax fraud charges
>>157964935That's probably the best outcome for them, yeah. No longer have to stand side by side with foreign bandwagoners and state-sponsored mouthpieces.
>>157961109>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T INVEST YOUR OWN MONEY IN YOUR OWN COMPANY THAT'S CHEATING!!§
>>157965095>feel free to join this joint business, just abide by the rules just as every other company that joined>nah, fuck it, we ball basketball player behaviour tbqh with you senpai
>>157965095Yeah you can't get around spending rules by pouring unlimited oil money into a team while disguising it as a "sponsorship". Well I suppose you *can*, Man City have been doing it for almost 20 years, but you're not supposed to lol
>>157965095>hide from auditors and regulators>sham sponsorships, image rights, paying people off books, paying other companies to take costs off your club>put in a billion quid into the club >NOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS FINE LET US DO IT THE RULES ARE BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
>>157965185It will be interesting to see how these figures look since then, surely if they were above board then these sums didn't decrease.
>>157964556Will they?
>>157965185The greedy retards were like. >Lets just keep pumping in money! Poop already begged for fans to come but they still wont fill up the stadium.
>>157961109instead of being banned or given a points deduction they should be forced to change their name to manchester cheaty
>>157965249Everyone is going to want a piece of the carcass. FA, UEFA, other clubs, HMRC. I won't be surprised when janny infantino wets his beak.
>>157965249Didnt the FA and the EPL recently make changes to one of the cups to help smaller teams? I'm sure if the EPL ask for the FA to cooperate they'll work together to punish them.
>>157964560>>157964498You could remove them from the PL the issue is where do they go if the EFL and Nations League refuse them? They'd just die.
>>157965185*Also holy shit, look at 2017/2018 lmao>Actual money paid by sponsors: 11m>Money paid by Abu Dhabi United Group: 134 million>"Yeah we got 145 million in sponsorship money"So fucking brazen
>>157961109What's the most severe possible punishment?100 pt deduction every season for the next 14 years? Permanent expulsion?
>>157965384Northern Premier League?
>>157965403The punishment is totally unknown. Nobody knows. But City have claimed they'll burn down all of football if they get punished so....
>>157961172>>157961208>drunk at 5pm on a tuesday hi liam
>>1579616464-0 by wigan aswell
>>157965464Is there any precedent for a club-level punishment like this in England? I know Juventus in Italy got relegated after their cheating scandal and had to work their way back to Serie A.
>>157965403The PL sanctions are nothing compared to what other clubs will do to them. If your club was relegated during a season city cheated, they owe you. Burnley got 40m off Everton when they were sanctioned for overspending. It's not just relegated clubs, every place higher in the PL is worth 3m, missing europe even more. This isn't even getting into CL clubs claims. It could be 50+ clubs bringing cases across a decade of provable fraud. And no doubt this pattern of fraud has continued since 2018, or else it's like an admission of guilt. City is finished.
>>157961693Nullify all their matches; if the runner-up is 1st place in this corrected table, award them the title.If not, a match is arranged between former runner-up and corrected 1st place. 90 min + penalties for the title, and the match must feature only players that were in the squad back then
