My son just told me City getting 60 points deducted. It's all over the web. I know it's click bait but still be nice lol.
YNWA.
28 Mar 2026 18:48:28
Nice if true, Championship club and supporters.
28 Mar 2026 19:19:32
In a way, I hope it's not true as I'm hoping Spurs go down. ?
28 Mar 2026 19:43:05
As Citeh are on 61 points, this will mean relegation for them and 5th place for us.
28 Mar 2026 19:48:26
A one-season punishment is absolutely nothing with respect to their "allegations", if you ask me.
28 Mar 2026 19:57:15
Would be interesting how their players would react. Would Pep stay? Would Haaland do a year in the Championship? Lol.
28 Mar 2026 20:22:42
If they are found guilty, anything short of being stripped of trophies is not enough for me.
Cheating for years and getting punished proactively with no retroactive consequences isn't really much of a deterrent, is it?
28 Mar 2026 20:31:01
I don't want to see City stripped of trophies because, at the end of the day, they won those trophies because they were the best team. It's not like they were doping. Us retrospectively being allocated trophies would feel like a hollow achievement to me because ultimately we did get bested from a sporting perspective.
I don't want there to be an asterix next to our trophy list.
28 Mar 2026 20:35:18
60 pt deduction should only be a start, they should also get a massive fine of £500 million and transfer ban for 10 years.
Need to make an example of them.
28 Mar 2026 20:46:13
Quite honestly, hope it's not true for this season, makes no difference to us after all of the seasons we've been pipped to the line. Next season with a proper manager and no City in sight, we'll walk the league.
28 Mar 2026 20:51:47
After Chelsea's minor slap on the wrist for financial cheating, nothing will surprise me.
28 Mar 2026 20:57:59
It's not true at all, it's pure speculation from a Colombian reporter on twatter. To be honest, I'd be surprised if they got hit with anything more than 12 points and a hefty fine. Football is unbearably corrupt. It's a disgrace, they should be relegated and stripped.
28 Mar 2026 20:59:58
A 40 point deduction every year for every season they cheated might do. They won't be stripped of titles or automatically relegated. But whether they face any punishment at all will be the main issue.
28 Mar 2026 21:09:13
It should be a very tough penalty - first some sort of sporting penalty that pushes them to a multiple season hardship, think 2 relegations (I know this can't be done because it's EFL not the prem) or multiple season point deductions - think 15 per season for 3 seasons. The irregularities gave them multiple year advantages they still carry today. The punishment should set them back beyond a season or two.
Secondly, there has to be a substantial financial penalty placed upon the owners - they signed off on the breaches, but more importantly they've made a mockery of sporting justice by lawyering up to try to buy themselves out of it and delaying the price. Tax them and tax them hard and make sure the money goes down the structure of football.
28 Mar 2026 21:11:34
Sailor Jerry, if City get a 60 point deduction this season they won't be in the same division as us next season. So either way they won't be a threat for winning the Premier League.
28 Mar 2026 21:29:33
I personally think this PSR is b*******.
A rule brought in by the big 6 to stop anyone else winning stuff, and I think that it deserved to be treated with contempt.
In no other industry would a business be prevented from investing its own money to improve itself.
I don't want them stripped of titles because I am pretty sure that would give United 2 more titles and us one for the years that they "cheated".
28 Mar 2026 21:54:56
Babity, no, they cheated, they do not deserve to keep the titles. One season in the Championship is not enough, they knew what they were doing, no excuses. We get two prem winners, Arsenal get two prem winners, others get FA Cups and League Cups.
Why should they have it in their history? They may have been the best team, but that does not justify what they done. By the way, Chelsea should have had the same treatment.
{Ed025's Note - you wont be getting anything imo Albey, i would expect that any titles and trophies won by City during that period would be expunged and written off mate, but would you even want those titles anyway??..
28 Mar 2026 22:10:04
C'mon Ed's. This is trash
{Ed025's Note - it may be KC but this is a rumours site mate and that is a rumour im afraid..
28 Mar 2026 22:43:47
Finally a way to guarantee Arsenal the title ;-).
I don't really believe this, and City would appeal, and it would be deemed excessive, when in fact there should be harsher punishment, and not something that affects only 1 season.
No, I wouldn't want the titles either.
28 Mar 2026 22:56:43
Should be a point deduction for every charge, to roll over to next year anything below zero at the end of the season.
Put a * put next to all their achievements to highlight the fact that they are cheats.
Won't happen though... money talks!
28 Mar 2026 23:17:09
After what happened with Chelsea, I have zero faith in those adjudicating these matters. City will probably get 10 points added to make sure Arsenal don't win the title!!
29 Mar 2026 00:32:53
I'd be perfectly happy with seeing City stripped of all the titles they won and the leagues given to us. We deserved those titles because we performed unbelievably in 2018/2019 and 2021/22, but lost out on razor-thin margins against cheats.
The above has no chance of happening, but it absolutely should.
29 Mar 2026 02:02:18
It's dragging on so long because the corruption goes deeper than Manchester City just cheating. That's the obvious part.
The rabbit hole is deep.
And Newcastle watch on, ready to see the punishment, ready to be Man City x100.
29 Mar 2026 08:38:07
60pts would be a slap on the wrist for what they've done.
But, tbh, after the Chelsea and Leicester debacles, I doubt City would even get that much.
If the PL had any integrity, Chelsea and Man City would be expelled, any titles they won expunged, and clubs affected by their cheating given free run to sue them into oblivion.
But I won't hold my breath.
28 Mar 2026 23:19:28
I agree, Ed. Those titles are done, no winner those markes down for those years, IMHO.
{Ed025's Note - yeah i think the same Ritchie..
29 Mar 2026 10:44:48
They didn't deserve the titles because they broke the rules in order to gain an unfair advantage. Strip them of the titles, and mark the seasons with an asterisk and no winners, relegate them automatically and then deduct 60 points, and ban them from Europe for the same number of years as they cheated to win the league and, last but not least, have another crack at the desirability of letting the club (any club) be run by a bunch of liars and cheats.
Of course it won't happen because those responsible for the running of the game have a different agenda than aspiring to promote the game.
29 Mar 2026 11:13:29
I think it's totally reasonable to strip them off the titles they won. The teams they built to "earn" those titles were built contrary to the rules. So they didn't earn it.
*If found guilty lol.
29 Mar 2026 14:02:24
City should at least get what Juve got tbh.
29 Mar 2026 18:25:35
Will it be referees investigated next? Surely, there has been enough fluck ups to justify a full investigation.!!!!
30 Mar 2026 13:45:21
It's crazy to me why in football we just erase the trophy if someone cheated to win it.
In athletics, cycling, and many other sports they just remove the winner's result and pretend they didn't compete, and then award accordingly. The people who competed fairly still earned their place and prize. By simply expunging the entire record, you punish everyone's hard work because one guy/team cheated.
