People just focus on the title etc, but look over the time period how many teams have missed out on European football or been relegated by 1-2 points and all the financial consequences that come with that after having points taken off the by Man City th that particular season.

If they're found guilty to a significant degree then the whole PL has been a sham over that period and even now, because the foundations the current Man City are built on are fraudulent.

You can't rob a bank, buy a mansion with the proceeds, get caught for the robbery but still think the mansion is legitimately yours.

You dont know that. You havent read all the relevant documents or heard all the relevant arguments. And you are not a legal expert.
Yeah, this guy has been insisting 115 are biblically ****ed for ages. The fact he says this in a pretty eloquent and persuasive way doesn’t make him right, or credible.

FWIW the general consensus in the sports law community is that they will go down for something pretty big but tbh, speculation is pretty pointless as with all legal matters, on the basis there is at least a 20% chance you lose a “sure thing” let alone a case as complex and hard fought as this one.

Yeah, curious to see if we see the titles being stripped and compensation being paid to injured parties.

The PL is in a situation where they'll decide whether restoring integrity or pretending integrity is already in place is in the greater interest of the league. The way they've been pushing for it makes me think they've decided it's the former.

In all seriousness I’m not sure where some of the energy in this thread is coming from.

The PL obviously wants City to burn or they wouldn’t have taken it this far. If they wanted to throw the towel in they have had a million opportunities to do so.

It’s a good thing PGMOL have no say in the matter though…

I understand what you mean, but at the same time, it's interesting that the Premier League allows referees who belong to PGMOL to officiate matches in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Does PGMOL have that much power over the Premier League? Why's this allowed?

I don’t think it’s that simple. I don’t know if the PL have the power to prevent refs from going overseas when they have free time even if they wanted to. Would be a bit like if you told your whore you wanted to be exclusive. It’s just not in the contract.

And yes, the use of whore to refer to referees was very very deliberate.
 

Arsenal Quotes

Thierry Henry was very quick at analysing everything that was going on and how he needed to react. This intelligence, this capacity to evaluate, understand and question oneself, is also the mark of great players... For everyone, for the fans and for us, he symbolised the golden age of Arsenal.
