Take away those titles!
I’m not sure if anything substantial will wind up happening mostly because Clearlake have been upfront with the Premier League and self reported potential infractions.
BUT if this leads to significant punishment down the line, it will taint Abramovich’s legacy as owner. He will no longer be known as strictly the serial winner who took us to a household name. It’s not my place to adjudicate nor am I naive enough to think his image was totally clean before all of this. It’s just something to ponder. Potential punishment on top of the two transfer bans we were handed? It skews the measurements.
Don't think self reporting matters does it? They can still penalise the club, dock points and put a transfer ban in place.
It certainly helps, or at least should. Thought City's tactic of denying, bribing and throwing lawyers at it seems to be working better.
