    English football titles don’t mean shit if a team blatantly cheating is allowed to keep playing and winning.

    Letting city keep playing right now is like letting a known murderer walk free and keep slaying until you finally see them in court. Oughta be immediately suspended from all football until the case.

    How many points would it take to put them in a real relegation scrap? It would need to be about 60 wouldn’t it? If they get say 30 or 40 they’ll come mid table then just carry on as before.

    They will get a point deduction so that they can survive in the PL. I expect 30 points.

      They’d probably still qualify for the CL.

      I’m hoping for mandatory relegation and a player exodus.

      They should start on -20 points every season for each charge. So basically for the next 110 years they start on -20 points. That should be enough.

      If Everton was hit with 10 points for ONE violation, there’s no way 30 is sufficient for 100+ violations.

      Fines + relegation is the only recourse. Not to mention Everton cooperated fully with the investigation and didn’t stall for years. If the PL wants to maintain ANY credibility in terms of their financial rules, they have to bring the hammer down hard here.

        Biggest thing apart from the sheer number of allegations is that city have blocked and obfuscated at every opportunity.

        Everton complied with the investigation and even volunteered some information and got 10 points. City should have the book thrown at them. But ofc they won’t

        Assets should be seized (including trophies), all award money should be distributed to other clubs, and owner should be replaced immediately after verdict IF found guilty.

      There is only one appropriate punishment for this: for every season they cheated they must going forward be managed by Tim Sherwood.

      I think they’ll do like 50, because it seems like a palatable number and with their win rate, and this years bottom loss rate, they’d still be comfortably in the league but out of Europe

        I just can’t see a 50 point deduction happening and it doesn’t address the fact they cheated over multiple seasons, if found guilty.

      I would be well up for another trip down a few leagues. Last time it was great fun at away days.

    I rather beat them legit, but their reckoning has been a long time coming.
