Why are people getting excited about this, it’ll be a whitewash
I think a lot of the clubs in the EFL would welcome some record gates and gate money, as well as trips to the Etihad and all the fun of playing Manchester City! As I said, small Scottish clubs, and their supporters had great fun with Rangers.
Anyway, it isn't the PL that is handing out any sanctions, is it?

Definitely. Slap on the wrist being a punishment that doesn't stop them from raising the trophy?
Ok. So I'm saying a points deduction (min 2 points), and them not winning the PL in the year that the points deduction applies (if for example the court case ran on and the penalty arrived later).

The only trouble with a big points deduction is that we then have to put up with Arsenal or Liverpool winning the league.
When Man City win, it barely causes a ripple. But you’ll never hear the end of it from the plastics of the other two if they win it. No thank you.
Though if they’re deducted enough points to finish below us and open up a European spot which we sneak into… then we’re talking.

Yeah works for me! One of those ones where even if I'm wrong someone is benefiting
Agreed
I actually don't care about plastics trying to brag. It means nothing and is easily laughed off. They're a plastic who chose a team because they're supposed to be good, but would have been better choosing Madrid.

Personally I think the most important issue here is whether the fantasy football points I lost by not captaining hahahahaaarland when he got a hattrick can be removed from the wise soles who did when citeh have been found to have cheated.
Isn't that what winning the league should be though - fans of the club going on about it, because it actually means something? Even if they are plastics, and it's tiresome for the rest of us.
It concerns me more that a club winning the title barely causes a ripple, that's not good for English football. Especially if they've cheated to get there.

I’m not sure if you have seen the league table but the contenders are Liverpool and a certain Brighton and hove Albion.

Football finance expert names Man City's potential points penalty
The perennial champions are defending 115 separate alleged breaches of financial rules spanning nine years from 2009 and the sternest punishment if found guilty is relegation.

100 points in 1 season is pretty meaningless.
Can't get double relegated
-50 and they don't get relegated at all.

Absolutely guaranteed he will. He's never had a hard job in his life and he'll use the the fact that he's already been there a while/contract coming to an end as the excuse

For me that’s the best thing about the investigation and charges. Without Pep, the PL will become more competitive again. I can’t see any coach coming in and carrying on his dominance. With the oil money they will always be in the mix but it’s Pep that’s the real cheat code, not the players they can buy.
