Man City found guilty

Strip them of their titles but don't pass them on. Citeh don't deserve them but neither did their runners-up earn them. We simply don't know what would have happened had City not cheated. For example:
  1. Where would the players Citeh bought with dirty money have gone had they not gone to City? They may have gone to clubs that finished 3rd or 4th etc. rather than 2nd with a different outcome in League Table.
  2. What about the teams City beat in the cups on their way to the final? Might one of them have beaten City and then in the final beaten the team that lost the final to City?
  3. the whole dynamic of the Premier League would have been different and we simply don't know what would have been.
For me, the right thing is to:
  • Strip them of all their trophies up to and including last season
  • Leave all the competitions they won without indicating any winners with an asterisk explaining why for posterity and a reminder to future generations of the shame.
as for the main punishment, I will be surprised if they aren't expelled from the League and forced to find a league that's willing to let them join - National League North (if they'll have them) seems about right to me.

The Lance Armstrong solution
 
They should be fined the same amount that they cheated on - so around £900 million.

Then a point deducted for every offence = 115

And finally, made to sell Guehi back to us for £20m so we can flip him for 3 x that 🤣
 
£900 million of sham contracts over 9 years?? Fcuking ‘ell😳 that’s a mind boggling amount of cheating. So now we know, when discussing how the likes of Newcastle and Villa have to sell their best players but City have just been able to spend spend spend over the years

It’s certainly tainted Pep’s legacy that’s for sure

I’m caught in two minds here.
The problem with not passing the titles on is that the last 15 years havé been for nothing. Clubs have spent a fortune during this period and it will at least give them some sort of closure, if not idéal. If not they’ll be looking for a refund

Yes, their titles and trophies will be struck from the record but I doubt they will be re-distributed or awarded to the runners up.
 
So it begins...

Andy Burnham has said he would be "really concerned" if Manchester City's owners decide to sell up after the club was found guilty of Premier League financial rule breaches.

The prime minister said the situation was "contested by Manchester City" and he praised the club's owners since 2008 - led by Sheikh Mansour, United Arab Emirates deputy prime minister and royal family member - for investing in Manchester.

The auditors need to account for the lack of accounting

This will certainly test guehi's faith. He may not want to play for a team that's told so many fibs!!

The interviewer from BBC News, which coincidentally is based in Manchester, happened to point out to the Prime Minister during the interview that Britain has a key trading relationship with the UAE!

Not that there is any suspicion of exerting undue influence!
