All I’ve really seen today is sensationalist headlines saying that there gonna be sent to the phantom zone or jokes saying they’ll be fine, so I’m curious to know people who thing’s expectations of what will happen
You can ask people who have an in-depth understanding of the situation, or you can ask Reddit.
Not both.
Crash and Burn!!! Rain Hellfire upon them! /s
Nobody here has an in-depth understanding anyway. They haven’t released all the details. We don’t fully know who did what
So to put it in context; pretty sure the biggest points deduction in English football for breaching accounting rules is around 10 points. Most of the bigger ones usually involve administration added on.
City’s, if proven, probably happened over a longer period so you could see a 15 point deduction. Max would probably be 20 points.
Doesn’t feel like Chelsea’s breaches were as substantial so a 10 point deduction would probably be expected although considering the change in ownership some of that may be suspended.
The only time you see relegations imposed or titles stripped away is when match fixing is involved (eg in the case of Juventus)
Chelsea - Transfer ban City - Nada
Luckily for us we could do with a transfer ban
Think Chelsea know they’re getting a transfer ban and that’s why they spent so much recently.
Have a listen to the price of football podcast with Kevin day and Ciaran Maguire on Monday they should have something up about it
I doubt anything will happen at most a fine of a few million
Lmao these comments kill me. I forgot city were already found guilty. Oh right, reddit knows all.
I mean, I don’t care about city, but I somehow doubt 115 charges get levied at someone entirely innocent. Maybe the get away with it on a technicality, but I think jts pretty fair to say there has been some funny accounting going on somewhere for them to be able to spend the way they have. Regardless of what happens, I think their accomplishments have been tarnished in the eyes of many
Seems more like throwing so much shit against the wall and hoping something sticks.
Chelsea have complied with the letter, not the spirit of the rules, its why so many players are on enormously long contracts. Transfer fees can then be amortised over the lifespan of the contract.
They’re also, I believe, gambling on getting back into the Champions League, which will give them a big revenue boost.
Citeh, well Citeh are fucked and they know it. It’s why they’ve been delaying as much as possible.
Now they’ve won the Champions League, I think they’ll delay slightly less. The aim was the Champions League & that wasn’t going to happen with transfer bans/squad reductions/being banned from Europe.
They’ve achieved what they wanted, albeit with a giant asterix next to it.
Now that Everton have been turned over for a 10 point deduction, the Premier League have set themselves an awkward precedent. City’s breaches are more numerous & egregious, so their punishment ought to be consequently more severe. Whether the League have got the cojobes to do it or not remains to be seen
Instead of points deducted it should be that a team that has violated the financial rules should start the first 10 games of the season with a 0-2 advantage for the other team + no attendance for their first five home games. If your financial violation took you to a European spot you have to start the first 10 games with a 0-3 advantage the other team. By giving -10 points like they did to Everton is a joke as they have a lot of chances to make this 10 points “go away” in the reminder of the season. But to implement 0 point deduction but a 0-2 advantage to the other team it will take a lot for the team to have many points at the end of the 10 first games and then they only have 28 games left to go.
Money usually wins…
As somebody who is an expert in money, they will both be fine.
PSG and City both got fines a few years ago from UEFA when less rich teams were banned from the Europe.
Chelsea and City don’t have money problems, they have revenue problems. Their owns can burn £50 mil and not care, the issue is getting it on the books to buy new players. So a fine is perfect.
Nobody knows here, so far everyone was saying how Chelsea will be gone when Abramovich was pushed away, how it will be liquidated etc somehow it’s opposite of it doing well and spending. So far many were saying how city will be screw somehow it’ll was years ago when case was brought to day light. But in meantime Everton was punished like nobody expected or shouted before. So nobody knows especially here on reddit
Dk ab chels but city will get away with it bcos theyre city
Can’t believe that Willian was on his way to Spurs, then got a text from Abramovich saying ‘the rabbit is in the hole’ then turned around to go Chelsea. Chelsea are such Entrepreneurs
If anyone knows anything, it’s that you ain’t gonna get anyone who knows the answer on Reddit, and if they did, they certainly wouldn’t tell it on Social Media first.
What I want - Offending teams to be docked points from this season, have titles from since their respective takeovers and automatic relegation to beyond the conference leagues and incoming transfer bans for 15 years.
What I expect - Offending teams to be docked points from this season and have an asterisk to any titles they have bought/earned, along with incoming transfer bans for 5 years.
What will probably happen - Offending teams will be fined pitiful amounts respective to how much they pay the FA to find them not guilty of however many charges, a slap on the wrist to not do it again and rules set up so that subsequent offences will be much more heavily chastised.
Chelsea will get two slaps on the wrist and City will get one
