If they don't get proper punishment, what's the point to watch Premier league anyway?They're 100% guilty as charged, we don't need access to court papers to know as much the stuff that was on Football Leaks was enough
Italians didn't hesitate to relegate Juventus for smaller crime, and Juventus is the biggest and most successful Italian club.
City is nobody compared to them.
What about credibility of Prem, which is already damaged?

Are players really trusting clauses. Not only can these clubs flat out refuse to fullfil the clause but also with army of laywers bury it deep in the legal system for man years no?

Did City just hand Haaland a 115 month contract?

Messed up isn’t it? You would've thought he’d have learned after the whole humble thing. Disgraceful club & horrible man.

Smaller crime? They bribed the referees.

The scandal was uncovered in May 2006, when a number of telephone tappings showed relations between various clubs' executives and referee organizations during the football seasons of 2004/05 and 2005/06, being accused of selecting favourable referees.
Juventus was relegated in Serie B and AC Milan received 30 points deduction in 2005/06.
The crime happened in 2 seasons.
Man City is investigated for 115 charges from 2009 to 2018.
What is your opinion, what punishment should City get for their crimes?

With "favorable referees" they mean the referees who accepts bribe money. That is way worse than using money to buy the best players.
I think a transfer-ban and points deduction for the years they have cheated to ensure they do not play in CL would be an appropriate punishment. With regelation, you only hurt the other clubs in Championship as they have no chance to promote to PL that year City is playing in.

Going to be great to see what Haaland can do in the North West Counties Football League and the likes of Charnock Richard, FC Isle of Man, Glossop North End (incidently owned by Peter Hill-Wood's grandfather in the early 1900s) and Lower Breck.

They just spend 150m this transfer-window. Wondering it is just a bluff to fake confidence or that they know they will get away with X amount of fine.

Blimey. It’s all somewhere upstream of this thread but in short…
Manchester City’s tribunal verdict: the key questions answered
Champions are claiming success over Premier League and we look at what the ruling means and possible ramifications
www.theguardian.com
Basically City claimed a win, the PL disagreed.
It was really just a score draw.
Lawyers side with Premier League after City declare APT rule 'void'
Lawyers have shot down Manchester City's claim that the Premier League’s associated party transaction (APT) rules should be considered “void”.
www.cityam.com
Then the PL amended and re approved the rules with the support of the majority of other clubs.
Premier League clubs approve APT rule changes in blow to Manchester City
Premier League clubs approved changes to the associated party transaction rules on Friday in the face of opposition led by Manchester City
www.theguardian.com
Now City are saying this approval was void and the rules need to be completely rewritten.
So in essence, Al Mubarak is trying to make good on his threat made to FIFA (revealed in the now infamous documents leak some years back) to “rather spend 30 million on the 50 best lawyers in the world to sue them for the next 10 years” than give in.

Wait is that it? So no point deduction or anything?
Anyway thanks for info. I might give up on football now.
