ilkleyram Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 It'll be (vaguely) interesting to know whether these are the same charges that UEFA charged them on, banned them from European competition for a couple of years (never enacted) which was then overturned in CAS. Or something new. My guess would be that they're broadly the same and that the outcome, nothing, will be the same with lawyers the only winners Interesting that Chelsea found an amortisation loophole that UEFA closed down with no retrospective action. Pity the EFL didn't treat us with the same level of fairness Reggie Greenwood, CBRammette and cosmic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammeister Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Scenes in Wycombe who lost to Man City in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup in Sept 21. The argument goes- that had Man City not allegedly breached FFP, Wycombe would not have lost 6-1.

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 If the allegations are correct, and 100 breaches of regulations are proven, this should be automatic relegation, maybe 2 or 3 divisions - won’t happen but if Derby are docked 9 points for the accountancy issue surely proportionally this should mean expulsion or a few relegations? Unbelievable. And yes Premier League is a different entity but it’s really unfair. It’s essentially a super league already.

rsmini Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 If proven Sky Sports reporting they could expelled from the league. Is this why Chelsea have started giving out 8 year contracts to spread transfer fees over a longer period If they get relegated, like Juventus did a few years ago, that would be at the detriment of a club further down the pyramid.

simmoram1995 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 So city have breached FFP with over 100 instances and allegedly didn’t cooperate with the investigators and evidence about concealing money. let’s see how fair the system is in football now. so if derby got -21 for 4-5 breaches city has 146 so what’s that guys. A) -30-40 points at least B) relegation to championship C) what I’m expecting two season transfer ban and a large fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Bet nothing happens - looking at the charges, very similar to us...or it must be going by how we were treated by the EFL, the press and other supporters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 They sound get relegated 2 divisions. With the top 3 in the league One and Championship getting automatic promotion. CBRammette and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Man City generate far too much in revenue for the Premier League to expell them down to the EFL. They need to think of their shareholders.... ? Transfer ban, points deducted or a fine won't touch a team like Man City with all their resources. For the sake of fairness they should have the Juventus treatment and drop down a couple of divisions. They shouldn't be getting away with this level of cheating. But it won't happen as the Premier League haven't got the bottle. The only way I can see any serious action taking place is if the other teams in their league (de ja vu) join together to complain to the authorities that this is cheating. The Premier League couldn't care less about fairness. They'd keep the 20 teams, franchise it all and stop relegations if they could.

Anon Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'll believe it when I see it in terms of City actually facing any meaningful punishment. Whilst I have no particular love for City, I can't help but feel that the real reason for FFP is laid bare with all the fans of rival teams salivating at the prospect of sanctions. FFP has bugger all to do with fairness and everything to do with maintaining the current status quo at the top of the European game. Spending and wages are still wildly out of control and football is extremely expensive for the average fan, this will remain exactly the same even if the current boogie man (City) is hammered with the most serious sanctions.

Mucker1884 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'll be gutted if City get relegated two divisions. I've been dreaming of playing them in the league for years, and it would be typical of my lousy luck that as soon as we end up in the same league again, we go and get bloody promoted! ? #yetanotherdreamshattered. ?
