According to man city it will take years to resolve the issues! Lol.

Man Cheaty*.

Indeed, @Arne. Let them think so.
I guess that no one has told them that even after being punished for their crimes, the appeals process won't stop them from suffering said punishment.

Most of the experts, who I've listened to, say it is likely to drag on till the end of the season.
29 Sep 2026 13:55:27
Let's just hope the home crowds give City the welcome they deserve and sing to the cheats every game until this case is over and sent packing to the championship starting at Anfield on October 11th!

I don't think it'll deter anyone from copying City unless Everton are relegated for this.

Rome - all well I hope?
Stefan Borson this morning reckons they'll drag it out for as long as possible &
Could well take more than this season for a resolution?
Not sure why the Premier League haven't come out with some sort of statement.

For me I'd like to see Man City reset into the club it was before the current cheating owners took over.
So ban the owners and force them to sel for starters.
Punishments that return Man City back into a smallish club that will bounce between the prem and championship. So relegation, fines and transfer bans until they are the size they were before.
And everything they have won since 2009 wiped from the record like it never happened.
The punishment needs to put things right and also deter other people coming in and doing the same. Putting city back into its pre 2009 state does that for me. For all the cheating of the owners they did spend years of hard work doing it, seeing it all taken away in one go is justice.

I'm assuming the Premier League are not making comment because they are engaged in a confidential legal dispute and likely in depts of an appeal from City, making public statements prior to a conclusion could be seen as prejudicial to City's case and hand the citizens the technicality they are looking for to squirm out of there cheating.
On an evidence basis City may well be guilty ( we've all seen the emails leaks) but unfortunately in legal cases it's rarely about evidence and right and wrong, cases are won and lost on technicalities and procedural arguments.

All good, Bristol, thank you, my mate. Hope you're well. Off down to yours and mines favourite haunt on Friday, Cornwall, for the week. Will be back for the City game.
Forgive me, I'm turning this site into Instagram!

I don't know the exact reason Roman Abramovich was forced to sell Chelsea not sure what he directly with the invasion of Ukraine.
But I think that should be the start the club should be sold and all money given to the clubs affected.
A one division relegation will not stop city from coming straight back up and challenging for the league the next season so they need to go down at least two.
A five year transfer ban should also be included to revert all the gains from the cheating. They still have some fantastic young players in there academy so that should be what they use going forward along with the players they can convince to stay long term.
