Screw this though. Not in season where it makes no difference.

Send them back to League 2.

What good is a points deduction this year, given our position they are extremely unlikely to win the league. it's only likely to be about 10-12 points which would probably just see them finish 2nd rather than 3rd and if the UEFA ban is upheld they won't be in CL anyway, it would be a nothing punishment. Their breaking of the rules has allowed them to win a number of trophies, if the punishment is to match the crime strip them of those titles and and impose a punishment that removes their unfairly gained advantage going forward (tighter FFP rules, reduced squad size, denial of revenues or a transfer ban) . A points deduction this year is the ultimate hollow gesture.

Literally anything but Occam’s Razor huh

Agree completely. A points deduction this season doesn’t actually cost them anything.

They should be stripped of their titles. They’ve cheated us out of title wins in 2013/14 and 2018/19.

Good timing huh

About £1m per place so with no cl income a significant wedge

Sportwashing is working a treat these days.

Sorry, misunderstood your last post. I thought you meant you had read the article, not "as if" you read the article

It just says that a recent rule change means that FFP breaches like City’s would from now on mean relegation all the way down to League 2.

We can dream

Just a reminder of when City made an hilarious mistake

Yep, and that’s probably why the EPL will do just that. They’re chicken ****.

Ideally the prem will drop them a division or two.
There is little point deducting them points as it wont really have much bearing on the league other than finishing positions.
So for at least the last two years they have been clearly playing with cards up their sleeve, we could have had a couple more league wins.

What a great start to my weekend lol.

Haha I reckon uefa made their decision a few days ago and said they’d wait til today to announce it, to give us all a nice start to the weekend [emoji119][emoji119]

Can’t wait for peps next press conference [emoji23][emoji23][emoji897]

Rather than relegating them to L2, I would like them to be stripped of their recent PL titles, especially 2014 and 2019. Hollow or not, it would be nice to be ahead of the scum again.

Though they would probably get 2012, so we'd be level after this season. Works for me!

That’d also hand Jose and them another title in 17/18
