Financial irregularities...

[Yid]

Yep. It will never end, unless the Abu Dhabi guys decide that it's no longer worth the hassle and fuck off.

It's beyond that... I said it up the chat the Prem is going to collapse in it's current guise, any company associated with them will sue... It's over and I think this will pave the way for the European super league again...

And I'm glad about it h cause they've stripped football away from us fans...

I suppose you could also have a scenario where City accept their guilt if it means a degree of leniency.

Surely the 114 charges they have been found guilty of means they are no longer 'fit and proper'? So the decision may be taken out their hands

Yeah, maybe. I hope you're right, but like so much of this, I'll have to see it to believe it

The Prem must eject them.

The Championship & EFL clubs should reject them.

They should have their honours stripped from them. I don't care about the runners up being given the titles etc, but they shouldn't be able to keep them and build a history on lies, corruption and cheating.

They should be made to apply for and play in the conference and work their way back up.

They should pay that £900m into a football wealth fund (similar to a sovereign wealth fund) to consistently support grass roots football across England)

The individual clubs should sue them for lost opportunities as well as the individuals who have also suffered detriment.

Fuck them and their sports washing shite.

The government should step in and audit the Premier League and it's operations mandating that they open up their books on how they regulate club ownership... Its obvious that their own safeguards are not strong enough, working or have been corrupted by money yet again...

Sick and fucking tired of this game being sold beneath our feet... We need ownership in the clubs, fan representation needs to be mandatory and this is the opportunity.

I love the idea of applying any penalties ( maybe even apply it to any litigation from any other team) to grass roots football.. but I'm not sure about involving the government... we know how that usually goes, takes too long and to much self interest. Perhaps get independent audits.. but yeah the trouble with that is who's choosing the outside leadership... here's hoping they get everything they deserve

The owners should fail the annual owners test and be barred from running a football club.

Get these sport-washing people out of our league and never welcome them back.

The Premier League are the ones who saw the £ signs and said fuck it, take the blood stained money... The Premier League has massive questions to answer, almost as many as Citeh.

Etihad’s statements on funding appear to contradict Manchester City’s defence

Manchester City’s defence in their appeal against charges of financial rule breaches does not align with previous statements made by Etihad Airways

OK, I take back what I've been saying about Citeh paying for the best lawyers.

Or, to maybe look at it another way, even the best lawyers can't polish this turd.

 

[ClemFandango]

According to Duncan Castles from the Times, he "understands" the punishment will be expulsion from the Premier League with none of the EFL clubs admitting them to any of the divisions.

He also expects the removal of the owners, directors and executives.

Yeah, but much like with Trump's words and actions, there is really no difference between the two. They have a lot of £££££ and power and they know it, and theyre trying to throw it around

very interested in seeing which way it goes ... hopefully the Premier League shows up and starts to earn some trust back from the fans. Unfortunately money talks ( look at the World Cup, Trumps latest meme coin "Legend" dinner fiasco) Any misstep from The EPL could change the outcome of European football.

Stiff upper Lip and all that....

Their impact on the UK GDP would be .04% if they ceased all deals with immediate effect...

They should be dropped like a shitty stick...

I think you're 100% on the money and it's the exact reason we're where we are now... Money and power ultimately corrupts & corrupts ultimately...

I say this is an opportunity for a massive reset and id like to see a proper football person, some one we all trust with the game to step up and lead the charge for reform...

It's not stiff upper lip time it's pitchforks at dawn time before these cunts can pull up their gilded drawbridge...

I'm yet to hear a voice openly calling for the Prem to answer how they've let this happen... Yeah they're looking at it now (after nearly a fucking decade), but their blind eyes have brought us to this point while they all earned shit boat loads of cash...

Reform of the product is essential...
