It’s another 27 points off for Leicestershire County Cricket club I’m afraid

Strip them of everything. Always knew they were cheats.

Let’s face it after Chelsea, I don’t really hold out for anything that’s really going to set them back

Exactly what I thought. They'll get a huge fine, probably a fairly long transfer ban, and maybe, maybe a points deduction (though probably not). 

 

Those wanting titles and cups stripped from them are gonna be disappointed.

City will probably appeal any punishment so the process is likely to be far from over .

Man United were 8 points clear in April 2012. Aguero should never been allowed to happen in that respect. Liverpool in 2014 were ahead under Rodgers and fell away (sounds familar).

 

Teams had ample opportunities to stop Man City during those seasons.

If they start doing back counts on titles or points deducted from previous seasons thats the biggest shitshow known to man incoming.

[FrankieADZ]

wonder if we'll do this, 5th 2 seasons in a row where City were in the top 4

[EastAnglianFox]

This is going to take another 5 years to sort aint it?

 

They will obviously appeal and I’ve got no idea how many teams will rightfully go after them

Exactly this, the advantage has put them in such a position that the most “damage” done to the club will be possibly 1 season outside of Europe

Man City’s charges are only up until the 2017/18 season…

 

We bottled 4th twice after that period.

Breaking financial rules between 2009-2018. Failing to cooperate between 2018-2023. 
 

Although I am sure that they’d be a case from 2018 onwards aswell. 
 

This could potentially be catastrophic for football - the amount of clubs all seeking compensation for that 9 year period would be crazy. 

[Brizzle Fox]

There is almost no end point as to possible litigation here, for  a multitude of clubs as well.

 

This could be the event that finally breaks football in this country, if it's not broken already.

 

Weirdly exciting.

ah ok thank you, as you said im sure theyll have a case to answer for beyond the 2018

[Corky]

Man City's first game after this is Liverpool away. Carra will get even higher pitched, G Nev with a moving monologue about how this affects the game and ManchUnide and Drury will just be Drury.

[Leicesterpool]

If man city were kicked out next season, what would be better outcome in terms of filling there place, only two go down or 3rd place in the championship get promoted automatically.

This will drag on for years still I think.

All the journalists desperate for the club managers to return to ask about the Man City case only to be met with "Sorry, can't comment". Brilliant.

And they will act surprised the managers don’t want to say anything!

[StanSP]

Just me that finds it annoying they call Rice 'Dec' or 'Declan'? 

[foxfanazer]

Leeds marginally the better side here

This is boring isn't it
