Manchester City’s Financial Doping

Maybe

You're wrong, no?
Fine for you but I do care about how we are perceived. I don’t want others to say “you only won it because City got ducked points” I want to win it without that excuse. I want to win it on merit against the best this Man City have, with the maximum points that they can aquire. It will mean so much more.
And they only won it because of shameless cheating yet still all the media praised them and fans celebrated like it was all normal

It's the same as in cycling. It is almost impossible to beat teams who use doping when you are all natural.

The oil barons used there wealth to hire the best of the best players and staff. Do you think it is fair that they can dish out 75m to buy a player only to use as sub? While for example Arsenal needs to use wash out players waiting for the injured players to get back.

They can have Haaland missing for the rest of the season and still winning the PL with their dept, while our season is over when we miss one of our key players.

City are obviously still cheating. Will probably be another case for 2017-2025.
There will be like 500 charges for the whole bald fraud period. He is the biggest cheating **** in the history of the sport & is always involved with these things like during his time with Barcelona or as a player when he was doping. He'll leave as soon he feels there is a chance they might get caught & will pretend to know nothing

Fans of all english clubs should team up against city. Boycott all the games they are involved in, home and away. No one else is going to do anything. The media loves them, and the FA/PL will always choose the easy way out.
We have to create some pressure on them.

They’re not getting relegated, too much noise around “ points deduction across seasons “
The proper punishment, however, is expulsion from the league. Non of this “ it harms the league “ bullshit. City’s cheating has harmed it enough.
Serie A and the SPL had the bollocks to throw Juve and Rangers out their respective leagues, so why not this one?

My guess will be 15-20 point deduction and 70 million fine. Really don’t think the PL can lose another case after Leicester and they will try to settle this with city behind the scenes. The PL loses this case and all credibility is gone. The fine probably won’t effect psr, so the sheikh can throw that at them

What are we considering minor? Relegation is obviously the harshest punishment. Something like a 30 or 45 point deduction spread over the last 15 seasons on the face of it seems minor but I think that would take away 5 or 6 of their league titles.

I'd prefer it was over the next 15 seasons to balance it out, you can't buy the feeling of winning a title back and if we're made retrospective champions for 22/23 and 23/24 it just won't feel the same.

Besides our best days as a squad are ahead of us, get them knocked down say 5-10 points for the foreseeable and we're winning multiple league titles anyway, teams like Liverpool are still a way behind and everyone else is miles off.

Would definitely have to start this season though. Can't give Guardiola the satisfaction to finish his time there with a league title when he was part of this for years.

Any news?

Total silence on media... They are trying to silence everyone.
There’s nothing really to hear.

The hearing will run for 10 weeks in private then the panel will retire to consider its decision, so you’re unlikely to hear much till next spring. Even the location of the hearing is secret. There may be the odd leak along the way but they need to be very careful as there can only be so many potential sources. Pretty standard procedure in a high profile arbitration/hearing tbf.

Arsenal Quotes

It’s not impossible to go through a season unbeaten and I can’t see why it’s shocking to say that.
