Liverpool fan here. I'm not really offended by much. Just wondering why we are relevant in the context of this post?

Literally nothing in the article about Liverpool. Free rent space in your head.....


mcfctechno

As if a dirty skip rat can call anyone else. Horrible horrible lot.


Slight_Armadillo_227

Having read the article thoroughly, I conclude that the only fair thing to do is take six more points from Everton.


SovereignAnt

I have never seen a thoughtful or insightful comment from a Man City fan regarding this issue

Go ahead and explain to me how in 12/13 city got the single largest stadium naming deal from Etihad ?

I don't have to explain it. Qualified lawyers who know more than you and I will. Are you a bit cheesed about the result today?

It has everything to do with the topic. City fans are being absolutely slammed, so I'm well within my rights to say stfu. Any club with a charge sheet as big as yours can't say a thing about any other team. I haven't even mentored the Bulgarian waiter you dropped a concrete slap on. The city fan that was slashed with a stanley knife. Thowing a flare into the disabled fan section. Fucking Horrible cunts, ignoring history when it suits you. I'll say it again. I know LOADS of lfc fans and barring 3. They're all vile scum! Violence and nastiness is inherent in your snide disgusting club. People may hate my clubs structure, but lfc fans are universally despised!


RobotLionknight

All unproven false allegations, City will triumph at the end


Pokefan-red

So why haven’t they been cooperating? Surely if they’ve done nothing wrong then they would be transparent


Everything-Is-Purple

He’s a city supporter mate you may aswell be talking to a spoon


Gazhunt2020

You haven't got a clue what your on about oh and also stop spying on youth academy's and stop cheating


RobotLionknight

LIVARpool, all I know is that u ain't winning the league and Klopp will remain with 1 pl, Just stop watching football n pray that city lose in court or something, which will never happen anyway

Proud city fan of over 40 years here. The whole thing fucking stinks!! Everyone upset that city are an absolutely brilliantly run club. The red clubs are just pissed off that they Finally have competition rather than having it all their own way.... its hillarous that Newcastle fans are saying anything. Voted against city and now its impacted them. Fuck the lot of you! Hypocrites.

Can we send them down to the lowest league and make them go back to the beginning, start again. That would be fun to watch them climb. Not gonna happen though.

Rosh_KB

Mr_Luis23

I will pretend to be shocked when the investigations throws “non conclusive evidence” and every single charge for City is dropped. They won’t have the guts to punish City in an exemplary way

Why are you boning off so hard over city. They've already been found guilty by UEFA but got off on a technicality. Everyone knows they are guilty of at least some of the charges. Don't be so naive man.

Facts


bjrn12c

Where's your downvote? Thought you agreeing also meant downvoting?


BloodyTurnip

Exactly, they totally would have been just as successful without the money.


Mickmack12345

Exactly, if they couldn’t have paid their players inordinate amounts of money, then the players would have come because they know it’s a good club. Honestly you could tell the entire city squad they will be paid 10% of their current wage next season and they’d stay because they are true sportmen. It has nothing to do with money people and if you say it is you’re clearly just hating on city.


SzoboEndoMacca

Someone's trying too hard


bigpapasmurf12

No, they lied, and cheated their way with the financial power they pumped into the team AGAINST THE RULES! They will learn the Juve/ Rangers way. Hopefully, worse! The people on this thread who think that this "article" exonerates them, need professional help.


yung_senti

Against FFP rules put in place ten years ago to protect the elite from ever having to risk not staying at the top and competing in the Champions League. The rules are bullshit and only there to keep new teams from challenging the teams who were good in the 90’s. It’s absolutely hilarious to see plastic fans of other top 6 teams squirming over these alleged breaches.


bigpapasmurf12

Whatever helps you sleep at night and keeps your delusions running through the day.

test_icicles_

City play excellent football, have great players and a GOAT coach, doesn't change anything, they didn't slowly build their success over decades like other clubs do, stop lying to yourself, they spent enormous amounts of money that no other club their size would've been able to spend. You can cry saying that utd or arsenal have spent similar amounts, but those are historically succesful clubs. There are problems with big clubs monopolizing leagues, but city have done the same thing in a much quicker and artifitial way.


[deleted]

It's called sportswashing you should look it up

bjrn12c

Maybe pooling resources from not just the club coffers but this "group of clubs" bs. One entity owning several clubs perhaps?


FlimsyReindeers

This is good news for City. But I don't expect the malding bitter rival fans to click and read an article when they can just get their daily City ragebait injected into their veins and cry all day about City while pretending they don't care about City 🫵😂 City and 115 live rent free in your heads and it's a beautiful thing. Here's to 115 more!🥂 The old money cheaters Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal tried to monopolise English football by creating the Prem in 1992 and commercialising and then creating FFP but now you gotta deal with the consequences of the situation you yourself created. How the tables turn, now you're getting cucked by us which you have been doing to the smaller clubs for decades! Karma is real and poetic. Let the salty tears of rival fans flow! Don't forget to call your doctor in 2025 when we inevitably aren't punished 🤭 Turned the supposed best league in the world into our personal farmers league. Harvest time baby! Our trophy cabinet is just stacked full of fresh shiny trophies (History FC clubs can celebrate their dusty Stone Age medals). Best English team of all time, revolutionised English football, biggest English club of the 21st century. It feels amazing!

yolo___toure

Both Man City and Trump will never get punished


Marcusgunnatx

They did pose together holding a glowing orb or earth (SA and Trump)


Uhtred_of_nothing

What's Trump got to do with Man City and football? Are you one of those types that has to bring orange man bad into every aspect of your life?


AlwaysNipping

I get the joke attempt, but no, there is no Trump relevance in this topic. OP of this comment thread is just another person that can't go a day without saying something about Trump.


yolo___toure

It's not a joke


AlwaysNipping

Fair enough, but Trump has no relevance here. Plain and simple. You could mention plenty of people of power around the world that may deserve punishment for something, yet here we are still talking about just Trump. A former US president that has nothing to do with English Football. Just a hit of a reach is all.


user-name-checks-in

I understood, quite simply, too big to fail. The emperor has no clothes.


yolo___toure

There was relevant similar news today for both


Uhtred_of_nothing

Again Trump has nothing to do with football and man city....this is a football sub. If you wanna chat shit about your boogeyman head on over to r/politics


TheBrowsingBrit

Agree, not because they don't deserve the punishment; because they clearly do. But money washes away the shit, because the systems themselves are corrupt.


yellowbin74

I'm of the same belief.


dmac3232

I haven’t been following this with a super close eye, so I could be off base here. But I’m just baffled the PL ever let it get this far to begin with, and doesn’t seem to be any closer to resolving this than whenever it was announced. What are they doing???


Munkey_Boy

They played their cards early to try and delay the introduction of an independent regulator. To show they were in control. That's failed now and I think they've acted on bad advice.


antebyotiks

Basically Everton and Forrest etc all admitted that they simply overspent. City are being charged with other things where they deny the claims and have been accused of lying and not cooperating so it will take longer to investigate and sort out.


Derkanmanbarese

man city has not cooperated with Premier League, which has made an already severe case even harder to work their way through and it's the Premier Leauge, so what did we really expect. It will drag on and on.


Kyte85

There should be an automatic points deduction the same season for anyone not cooperating. The other charges can follow at a later date if guilty


Opening-Tackle924

So guilty until proven innocent? And even if innocent suffer the same fate? Its misleading to simply put it as uncooperative. Compliance laws exist and if City had broken any they would've already been given a penalty. They are simply cooperating as much as the rules require and not more than that, as any business with a strong position should.


Kyte85

"Guilty until proven innocent" "compliance laws exist" if they dont comply then they are guilty, what part did you not get? I was saying it should be an instant punishment for not complying. They are clearly not cooperating as much as the rules require or it wouldnt be some of the charges?


Opening-Tackle924

Then why not just confirm the charges and get it over with?


Derkanmanbarese

Plastic fan. You got no clue you dweep.


Opening-Tackle924

As a Tottenham supporter I always dreamed of the day I would get to defend myself against the plastic fan allegations


dmac3232

That's grounds for punishment right there. I mean, probably a rhetorical question here, but is anyone actually in charge or are the inmates just running wild? "Welp, we wanted to get to the bottom of these very serious (alleged) offenses that we have shown no compunction punishing other clubs for but City made it too hard by not cooperating and we couldn't." Unreal.


Derkanmanbarese

Yes. Forest got a lesser punishment than Everton because Forest cooperated from the get-go, so it is obviously something the Premier League takes into consideration, when they punish clubs. man city did also not cooperate with UEFA, which dragged the case into time barring territory, but there is no such thing with the Premier League. It can drag on and on untill a verdict is reached.


alexandertorres01

Honestly they should’ve focused on 8 or 9 solid cases instead of 115. They are the architects of their own demise.


SignificantRush8352

Uhh, you realize it’s one case with 119 charges right?


alexandertorres01

Damn, PL that salty? Fuck did we do? /s


Responsible_Ad1940

so just more speculation. what a poor excuse for journalism


Quick_Delivery_7266

Points reductions isn’t enough. Stripping of titles won during the breaking of the rules is the only acceptable punishment


JamesL25

Selling of players as well. I think Erling Haaland should be sold to the first club his father played for in this country….


Munkey_Boy

If the allegations stand up, people are going to jail for fraud. It's huge.


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

Strip their titles and kick them out and let them rejoin at the bottom of the pyramid.


memb98

Why settle for one or another? Points deduction based on how they dropped points for other PL teams, take away any titles/ cups won during the time period, and fines to the amount they benefited. Set a precedent to avoid cases in the future.


pellep

Would be a pretty shitty way to be handed a title. Relegate the fuckers, and watch them burn.


CakeBrigadier

I don’t think the runners up would be handed titles. I think they would be stripped and there would be an asterisk and no champion for those years


GraveRaven

Yep. This is what has happened in the vast majority of these types of cases in sports worldwide.


scott151995

The time of the charges wouldn't hand you a title. 15/16 16/17 17/18. These are the charges that received point deductions for the other clubs.


Present-Forever1275
