Country: England
Hope they go down, shame they won’t though.
They’ll definitely come back up but in what state? The rebuilding process would take a bit of time too and I don’t think Pep or their top players will stick around for it imo.
Much harder than people assume. Remove Txiki Begiristain, Pep, Ferran Soriano etc from City and they’ll be back to square one. I expect Newcastle will fill that void.
If this point deduction for Everton is a precedent, then I'd be really worried if I was Chelsea and City especially.
They should both get relegated next year.
Everton admitted a breach and much simpler/more recent facts. City fighting every point tooth and nail…
It won't be - that's why Everton are (rightly) furious. They know that points deductions won't be dished out to the likes of City and Chelsea.
Forget it Smoke. They ain’t getting sh*t.

Biggest problem with allowing state ownership is they can use levers that private owners can’t.
Football in the country is finito. Funny how the likes of Gary Neville and others keep on calling for an independent regulator like that will sort this out
They should have listened back in 2003 regarding the Chelsea takeover and now it’s snowballed into something even worse imo.
Yeah I think Everton also pushed for this to be concluded last few weeks when they realised even 10-12 points deduction they will be fine.Everton admitted a breach and much simpler/more recent facts. City fighting every point tooth and nail…
Would say it mirrors a decline in wider society we’ve seen as a result from late stage capitalism but fear that may be too political for some on here
Laughable - fight it all the way Everton, it’s a disgrace.
Will get reduced on appeal you’d imagine. Doesn’t look good for Man City surely. They can’t be that stupid.
That's what you get when your club is run like a circus. Directors resigned and not adaquately replaced, a Chairman 'working' while on his deathbed, etc. I have no doubt that at some points we were likely paying four or five previous managers' salaries still.
Can't say too much, I'm absolutely fuming. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels. Let's get 40+ points then get the 10 points back , win Carabao Cup and Qualify for Europe..
Leeds, Burnley and Leicester want to sue us
The PL has declared war to this football club literally and hoping indeed that we just stay silent, the media stay silent...we have to make it ugly every match day week for the league to understand that they can't get away with it. The bigger ever premier league point deduction ever, and everton to get it first...
We broke the rules and an independent commission looked at both sides arguments and agreed with the premier league.
What an absolute crock of [Poor language removed]. The basically forced us to spend next to nothing to be in compliance with THEIR rules then turn around and say "nope, just kidding you still are going to be hit". I honestly REALLY hope their are massive banners everywhere saying "BUT YOU CAN'T PUNISH THE SUPPORTERS OF THE SCAB 6" and the like. Not a single thing done to them. Im just apoplectic at how blatant the farce is.
We should withdraw our ground from the bid for whatever it is Euros? at the very last second!
Very surprised I can't lie. Definitely has a showtrial feel to it. We were an easy target and they've gone for us. The club has been run poorly so this is on the board. But the punishment has to fit the crime. I don't think the 10pts will stick after an appeal. Either way we'll take our medicine. Rather we get hit now rather than March or April. 2pts from safety and those around us are weaker than Leeds, Leicester and Southampton. This only galvernises us. Ready for the fight. UTFT
