“As for Manchester City, I don't expect there will be any consideration to "title stripping" but if found guilty the potential punishments are slapped wrist (they need to clear out the charges which are simply noise and that may deal with those), fine (that could be negotiated to avoid any appeal - an option Nottingham Forest were looking to, but they were harshly treated), transfer ban (unlikely given a previous transfer ban for another club went horribly wrong for the authorities), points deduction (if found guilty of some of the serious issues and the most likely punishment I would think) and in theory relegation by expelling them from the Premier League if found guilty of multiple serious charges (could potentially happen but it would cause a huge problem with the EFL and the EFL clubs) or having their license cancelled completely (it has happened to Bury, Anzhi Makachkala and others over the years - but won't happen to Manchester City). Manchester City will claim, and subsequently use the claim in an appeal if necessary, that the charges are largely the result of criminal activity where computers were hacked - legally that puts the Premier League in a difficult position which may encourage some sort of settlement). Going down the appeal route will not suit anyone.

The huge difficulty with the concept of "title stripping" or any retrospective punishment is that it would be necessary to remove Manchester City from the equation for the Premier League for certain years by deleting all of their results, goals scored and conceded and re-adjusting the points and the prize money allocated. This would retropspectively impact which clubs qualified for the Champions League and other European competition - and again gained prize money from it, it may well also impact the relegation of teams and therefore impact the integrity of the Championship and lower leagues in subsequent seasons. It would mean years of liturgation and the relaunch of the pan-European league again.”

Към най- големите критици на Ман.сити е и редактора на този сайт Н.Г.. С особена маниакална последователност той пуска статии за отбора. И другите спортни сайтове засягат темата , но не до такава степен. Искам изрично да подчертая, че и аз съгласен да бъдат наказани ако има нарушения. Но всеки обвиняем се счита за невинен до установяване на вината му в съответствие със закона.
На всеки обвиняем се гарантира зачитане на правото на защита. И другия отбор който е на мушката на този сайт е Барселона. Непрекъснато прорукуват , как нямали пари , скоро ще фалират , подкупвали съдии и все от същото. За редактора отбори като Ман.юн, Ливърпул, Реал М. и др. са бели , чисти и пухкави. Н.Г. ми прилича на Игнасий Лойола , създателя на Йезуитския орден и Инквизицията. 😎
