It’s pretty much worse than either of them for me. Difference is that - unlike Scotland or Italy - England’s professional leagues aren’t run by the FA; they’re not even run by the same body. So if the PL relegate Man City, they can’t rule that they need relegating to the fourth tier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I've no idea what the scope is in terms of potential penalties, but the PL isn't going to cut its nose off to spite its face. Stripping titles and/or relegating them would undermine the competition's most prestigious and lucrative era and cause untold reputational damage. They'll settle for transfer bans or some other punishment they'll barely feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 If they are found guilty of at least some of the more serious accusations they have to be given a hefty punishment otherwise the PL/FA/whoever just look incredibly toothless. I'm talking points deductions over multiple seasons, eight-figure fines, potentially transfer bans. I don't think they'll demote them down the leagues to be honest but if they gave them points deductions over a few seasons to almost guarantee they'd finish outside the top four (eg. 30pts per season for three seasons) that might be reasonable. If it was just a large deduction for one season they'd just be straight back in the mix the following season. However, I think they'll get away with it. As we've seen with Leicester's case, the rules and regulations are riddled with loopholes, poorly-worded clauses etc. They've hired heavyweight after heavyweight to fight this case for them and I can see that paying off.

Zero Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 To be honest if we could lose 10 points just due to not meeting the PSR requirement, then surely Man City should face something like 1000 points punishment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 (edited) City avoid points deduction, fine or transfer ban. But have to agree to: Man Utd and Liverpool to start every season on +60 points Man Utd to get a new stadium, paid for by privatisation of the NHS Man Utd and Liverpool to be able to sign any player from any other PL club, with no transfer fee required Jurgen Klopp allowed to officiate VAR on all matches Liverpool play Edited September 16 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Hope the PL lose embarrassingly. Anything that weakens their hand and eases the stranglehold those monopolistic clubs have on the league is good for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 (edited) If they get away with it it will be down to their own lawyers and having time to prepare, the PL won't just give them a slap on the wrist if found guilty of anything big.

Froggy Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 A points deduction enough to hurt them but not to relegate them. A fine that will be a drop in the ocean to them. 3-4 window transfer ban. They'll have one year in mid-table and then straight back to winning titles the year after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 City win. PL chiefs resign due to forcing illegal restrictions in trade. Newcastle spend 800m on players and convert SJP to an 80,000 stadium with leazes terrace incorporated into east stand as a hotel we can keep selling back to ourselves.

Big Geordie Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I'm going to go for a relegation and a 2 year transfer ban. If Citeh 'win', then it confirms once and for all that the FA aren't fit for purpose and should be gutted from the top down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 (edited) You can just see it… Punishment without punishment. Not that I’m too fussed either way. Wouldn’t want them losing their titles to Liverpool and think half these financial rules are a load of tripe. Edited September 16 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
