Yet City gets away with it.
They’re going to get very harsh… unless you’re City or Newcastle and affiliated with oil and human rights atrocities.
Everyone is cribbing based on decisions not yet even taken, but isn't this what most fans wanted?
Clubs actually have impactful consequences for breaking funding rules?
It hasn't happened to the biggest offenders yet, but IMHO it's a good thing to see a firm precedent after decades of loosey-goosey shit like Fit-&-Proper person test or chump change fines given to infinite money glitch clubs.
Stupid rules on and off the pitch, including this and VAR
RIP football
Unless Man City are stripped of titles then any punishment is not tough
A fine is just business and they will just invent a new sponsor
Relegation is a year out while they stomp the 2nd tier. It also punishes those teams because there will be one less promotion place available because Man City will obviously go straight back up
A point deduction does even less than a relegation.
Take away the awards they "earned" through cheating because that's what it was about. On field success. Unless that is taken they have effectively gotten away with it with a mild to soft slap.
What are they doing about it in other leagues?
As I suspect all clubs at some point have broken the FFF rules in all leagues , or is it a Saudi sponsored investigation into EPL teams
When does pgmol get fines ?
