Why do people think the premier league would go through the trouble of investigating city for years just to slap them on the wrist if they're found guilty?
If you said that their lawyers might get them out of it or drag the case out I get that, but getting no serious punishment after all that? I just can't see it.

I remember when we got done by the FA for financial breeches.
IIRC, the punishment originally was 12 PTS reduction and kicked out of FA Cup and a fine.
On appeal it was downgraded to 6 pts deduction and a fine.
On further appeal it was argued that as the offence was purely financial, the punishment should be purely financial.
It was downgraded to a fine only.
If City get a harsh punishment they will eventually go to CAS and end up with a slap on the wrist.
Apparently they cant appeal to CAS, but they can go to other courts instead. I'm not really sure if that makes a difference.
Also been hearing about the govt calling for an independent regulator into football so that might be something taken into account as well.
Loads of options but the one who would make the most difference under Conte would be Ederson. Fewer howlers and finer distribution to the wing backs would help with this formation
As unlikely as it is id take Ruben Dias or Laporte
Foden is amazing but couldnt see him playing for another team in England

This.
Juve were relegated to Serie B
It can happen.
It should happen.
It won't be about whether City have to sell their players because of financial irregularities, it will be because they'll be banned from Europe and relegated and their coach will walk.
At that point, their players will want to leave.
Their income will take a massive hit if they're chucked out of the league meaning they won't be able to pay players wages unless they break more FFP rules and dip into the owners pockets.

Rather keep the rate faced little chav who's good mates with Mason Greenwood away from Spurs tbh...
And Glasgow Rangers?
Went into the Scottish bottom tier which was a shocker at the time
Wasn't that because they went into administration rather than breaching FFP and general cheating?
Not much difference between their top and bottom tiers TBH. All full of crap Scottish teams.
You could be right
It was such a shock which I remember well as I was living in Scotland at the time!
I quite enjoyed it!!
And yet in the 60/70 most decent English sides had some Scottish players including us
Alan Gilzean
Dave Mackay
Bill Brown
Alfie Conn
Etc
Do the oilers care about income?
They will have to if they are going to take FFP serious in the future. Which they probably won't.
Firstly you'd better ask Emerson Royal for permission to mess with his possessions. Stones, Alverez and Eddison solve loads of our problems. Marhrez because he is to us what Kane is to Leicester
