I agree but therein lies the problem with allowing nation states (or the fleshy hand-puppets of nation states) to own football teams. You can't really investigate them in the same way you can a private citizen. Sooner or later you're going to hit something that comes with political consequences. I mean for one thing, who's going to take that job?…

About Manchester City ? Rumors that they have been found guilty on 114 out of 115 FFP charges . History https://www. bbc.com/sport/football/article s/cw7v44ezry5go In those 7 seasons that they cheated my team came second three times # MUFC . Look cheating is bad so the punishment should be severe ; Relegation , points deductions, trophies taken…

They should be expelled from the football pyramid and have to restart on the bottom. There are teams fighting for promotion to the National League who deserve that spot more.
-
No shit. Anyone that actually thinks the titles will be redistributed needs to get their head checked. Even stripping them are unlikely.
-
Their status in the 20s was built off of being cheats. That foundation in the 10s allowed them to win titles in the 20s also.
-
Lets do a timeshare, everyone gets a trophy parade with one of City's trophies to celebrate sporting integrity.
-
Should be. Rangers and Juventus have both suffered that, it's just not happened in England before.

should have expected such a shit take from a fan whose team wins the league by march every season
