Imagine the PR gaff of having to retrospectively strip titles from a club. All the PL will do is wait for a season where City win the league by 20 points and strip them of 19.

      Different tho, teams were literally fixing the outcome of games, it’s probably the worst form of cheating you get. At least with City another team has a theoretical chance of beating them still in any one game.

      Didn’t it? I feel like back then Serie A was seen as comparable to Prem and La Liga. Obviously the money from TV rights just kept going for Prem but it definitely feels like the scandal hurt the league.
