If Man City are found guilty of some of the 115 offences, is it realistic that their past Premier League titles maybe stripped? - if so does that mean LFC will 'inherit' 2 PL titles as they finished runners up to them twice?
08 Apr 2024 16:55:49
No that won’t happen.
08 Apr 2024 17:00:38
Not a chance. It will probably go down as no one winning it for those years.
08 Apr 2024 17:15:34
£10 pound fine and told to sit on the naughty step which they will appeal and get awarded 3 free pens and 5 offside calls in any games they chose.
08 Apr 2024 17:40:12
Is there any update on the PGMOL gaslighting one of our fans?
08 Apr 2024 17:42:50
Anything less then all titles striped with a ban from Europe for as long as they have cheated is a farce, mite as well say cheating pays off in football if its less would also say jail time would happen in any other business but this is football.
08 Apr 2024 17:43:16
I hope not.

Noted. I’ll keep my opinion (ignorant bile) on the outcome of City’s charges to myself ?.
08 Apr 2024 19:18:26
If they are striped, which is my best guess based on the number of titles I wouldn't want them passed to us. I'd prefer they go down as no winner. Imagine getting 2 or 3 titles as the second placed team, it just wouldn't sit right imo.
08 Apr 2024 19:26:04
Nothing will happen. No point speculating. Cheats always prosper, fact of life. Move on.
08 Apr 2024 20:28:33
They’ll probably give them another title just for brown envelopes they’ve all had off them.
08 Apr 2024 20:36:15
By the time their hearing comes around, the PL clubs will have voted to remove the punishment of points deductions.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Paisley..
08 Apr 2024 20:59:47
They should probably be docked 2 points per charge = 230 points ?.
08 Apr 2024 21:13:21
What would be the benefit if they were stripped of their titles and the 2nd places teams retroactively declared the winner? It won't give us fans the experience of having won the two titles we were runner up for. Not really
Although it would make Ole Gunnar Solksjaer a league winning manager. Which is hilarious.
08 Apr 2024 21:14:33
Hope not Paisley, only real deterrent for cheats.
08 Apr 2024 21:42:37
And Brendan Rogers Sr.
If City don’t win the league this season I wouldn’t be surprised to see them docked like 20 points but they’ll likely have won the CL so will still qualify for it next season and finish like 8th as a punishment and that will be that.
08 Apr 2024 21:56:44
Relegation is the best outcome.
08 Apr 2024 22:16:12
Ron, I love that idea. If only mate.
08 Apr 2024 22:17:35
I actually would be totally fine with us being awarded them retroactively. If they cheated then them titles should have been ours.
I’m sure in the olympics when they find dopers the medal gets handed down to the next placed athlete? Or did I make that up?
In any case though, the titles are less of an issue for me, throw them straight out the football league altogether for me. ??.
08 Apr 2024 22:25:09
I can see a few more Brown envelopes.
08 Apr 2024 22:30:09
Spread the 230 points over the next 5 seasons.
Take 46 points off this season then start on -46 for each of the next 4 ?.
09 Apr 2024 03:56:49
Didn't think about that JK. Although as limited as I think BR is, Ole winning the league is funnier.
09 Apr 2024 08:34:28
Relegated two divisions abd stripped of the league titles they win would suit me.
09 Apr 2024 10:45:22
VictorVaughn is usually a bit too negative for me most of the time, but I'm with him on this one. Nothing of any consequence is going to happen to ManCity. At the most a slap on the hand; I even doubt any points deduction, let alone stripping of titles. The owners of ManCity cannot afford or tolerate the slightest mass public embarrasment of any kind, and neither can the FA or Premier League. They will work on it together to ensure minimal damage in the public's mind. It's a 115 count of offences, for God's sake. That's simply huge. I just have doubts anything big will stick on to ManCity.
Having said all that, I do hope they get what they deserve if they are found to be guilty of those offences.
It's all just very curious to me, because I am not from the football establishment and simply a distant observer. With offences dating back to the 21/ 22 season, Everton have swiftly been penalized with point deductions, twice, and have high chances of being relegated. ManCity with offences dating back t least a decade are still to face the music. Again, I don't know the exact reasons, but just imagine me sitting here with raised eyebrows and a smirk on my face.
{Ed001's Note - Everton's case was about submitted accounts wherein they admitted failing to adhere to ffp. Man City have been systematically covering up offences and submitting false accounts. Unlike Everton, they have lied about their guilt, when everyone knows they are guilty, but that requires it to be proven, rather than it just being a judgement required.}
09 Apr 2024 16:56:04
Yes we will be awarded any years we finished runners up and any matches we lost to City will become null and void and points added to any seasons total accordingly There will also be an open top bus parade through the city to celebrate these previous years titles.
09 Apr 2024 17:33:29
My understanding was they were already found guilty but the process took so long nothing can now be done. Hence they introduced a fast track system which is now being used to punish Everton, Forest and potentially Leicester? Might have that entirely wrong but I'm sure that's what some of the eds said.
09 Apr 2024 21:36:28
Wyred we wouldn't be a second place we would be champions because they should not of won the titles they aledgedly cheated i would take both titles with a blink of an eye mate and so would man u . So stop being so rightous mate.
