    Everton got punished as their breach was obvious and documented. City case is a mess and Chelsea similar (though the new owners are complying with investigation).

    City case is hard to predict what happens.

    Chelsea I think would be no points but an embargo. However if Chelsea end up in FFP trouble now with their outlays in the past 18 months then I would say that same 10 point deduction is a start point

    I swear these things always go the same way.

    1. Allegations drop. Fans of accused club go on the defensive while fans of rival clubs gloat.
    2. People tire of hearing the story constantly, neutrals slowly start to drift from “punish the cheaters” to “I’m sick of hearing about this”
    3. Wait 2 years
    4. Slap on the wrist, cost of doing business punishment is handed down.
    5. Fans of accused club gloat, fans of rival clubs cry foul and corruption. Nothing fundamentally changes.

    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.

    They need to do something about these Man city 115 charges against city more quickly. Like its gonna be half a decade before they’re all investigated and they’d have won the prem another 5 times in that period, and no way in a million years will a decade of league history be altered in punishment. They cheated so much they’re untouchable.

      The more time goes on the more embarrassing a guilty verdict will be for the integrity of the league. Serie A having a couple of seasons effected by Calciopolli was bad enough, this would be magnitudes worse in terms of effected seasons. Easier for them to sweep it under the rug.

      Some of the charges go back to 09-10 season so it’s actually been more than a decade for some of the offenses.

    They’re going to get very harsh… unless you’re City or Newcastle and affiliated with oil and human rights atrocities.

    If there’s any justice in this world, City should be national league. Start again for breaking football for the past 15 years. Everything they’ve won has a black mark on it, an asterisk. I don’t want the extra titles, it’s meaningless now. I just want the truth to come out an the right punishment for it to stop others in the future
