    Its not fair that man city after all the years of cheating they would only get deducted points in one season. It needs to be bigger than that.

    City will get 5 points deduction in 2040/41 seasons as FA finds discrepancies in their financial books.

    I think yes, but after Chelsea.

    I think the PL wants to make an example of anybody who breaches FFP. They don’t want the UK Gov appointing a Football Regulator and putting their house in order. Also partly because “public interest” may come into TV deals (politicians love a vote winner) and the whole gravy train could come to a shuddering halt.

    As much as Oil money talks, I don’t think City will get all 115 charges dropped and perhaps this is the trial run. I don’t think they’ll be getting off likely, if anything this might be a convenient way to solve another problem, linked to Chelsea:-

    Foreign Office Investigation

    Another thing to bare in mind is teams being sued. It’s not going to take many charges for City to be looking at hundreds of millions in damages from other clubs. FFP may not do for City but litigation could. West Ham paid off Sheffield Utd due to dodgy transfers a few years ago, and that was rumoured to be “only” £20m.

    City could be next yes, probably not while we are challengers though. Most likely when we are having an off season 😅

    City - Gee but it’s looking bad for them. They may get two points deducted for all 115 charges /s

    Amazing how fast this process moves when no one is getting their pockets filled to protect the team

    even if city got docked points, they’d just contact CAS to take the case to them, and cas ALWAYS lightens sentences

    the only reason everton got docked points is because they’re a much smaller team than city or chelsea. those two are too valuable for FA and english football so they won’t get any points punishments

    We’d get deducted points for simply having the audacity to compete, before city faces any punishment 😂
