Manchester City

If they abused the rules, 2nd place get the title, dont care if us, mancs (yuk), chavs (so what), Halifax.

They cheated thise tainted years nf place deserves the medals

[Exiled_red]

Don't the charges only cover seasons up to something l8ke 2018 so doesn't affect the seasons where we finished 2nd to them under Klopp (2013-14 would be covered). Their financial doping affected subsequent season but they can't strip titles outside the years they were charged with the most serious offences, if they were feeling stripping titles was appropriate

[SB]

Naaa, just that the players had the distraction of the CL. Not saying we would have definitely won it, but saying it’s a diff race if city aren’t there. Maybe United would have bottled it, maybe spurs would have won

You had me onboard until the last sentence

The additional charges that brought the total up from 115 to 130 are after the inclusion of charges from 2018-2023.

From The Times
"City have also been charged with not co-operating with an investigation and handing over documents as required over five seasons from 2018-19 to 2022-23."

There doesn’t seem to be much discussion of the possibility of title stripping anyway.

Seems like heavy points deductions and relegation are believed to be the likely punishments if the most serious charges are proved.

The not cooperating on the financial charges from earlier years I wouldn't have been serious enough to have seen titles stripped for those latter years (even if that were on the table and even though the effects of what was done in the early years undoubtedly laid the foundations for what the won later) . So it seems like the last 4/5 titles they won would be safe anyway

Extending the timeframe and charges at the last minute will probably give them grounds for appeal.

The additional charges mean that seasons after 2018 and up to 2023 are now also included among the charges. I don’t think title stripping is on the agenda either way, for the charges up to 2018 or after.

They play a 'rejuvinated' Man Utd on Sunday... They couldn't **** up again could they?

Looked at this on my acca, and I honestly don't know which way this could go. Both teams at present are woeful and whatever bounce Amorin has had has certainly gone.

What an achievement for them............

Man City announce Premier League record revenue of £715m

City have now recorded a profit every season since 2014-15, with the exception of the Covid-impacted 2019-20 campaign.

No idea how they do it

It's their marketing team. They're world class. They can sniff out a sponsor from nowhere. Companies from back bedrooms in Buckinghamshire, digital companies with a CEO that has zero online presence etc.

When did this happen ?

[EwarWoo]

It didn't, hence the quotation marks, at least you'd assume.

[Big-Red-Ed]

And now record profits too for a team that hardly anyone supports.

The level of cheating is hard to deny (and they'll try, burden of proof and what not). Regardless of hie it goes they're absolutely rotten.
