So 1 upheld charge has led to a 10 point deduction? Lol.
If even 10 of City’s 115 charges get upheld, they should lose multiple league titles. They should also get stripped of any domestic trophies.
Fuck all will happen though.
City will bribe and/or financially bully themselves out of trouble.
Looking at it from a positive pov, this sets a precedent for Chelsea and Manchester City. Especially Chelsea where the evidence publicised recently is even more concrete.
Whereas UEFA is just spineless with paltry fines

Also funny that Everton’s recent return to form(3W 1D) got decimated by this penalty.
Think they have enough in them to survive relegation
The reasons they won’t get relegated are Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley.
Yup, they are really really bad
Replace Luton with Bournemouth
I was going to include Bournemouth but they’ve got experience of staying up and have better PL squads than the other clubs.
They are arguably a bigger club than Chelsea or Man City, certainly before either of those got money laundering owners, so Everton are well within their rights to say that.
Chelsea and City have boosted the PL by quality and attention to such a degree I don’t think they’ll ever get punished in any other way than pointless or symbolic ways, they knew exactly what they were doing in allowing it in the first place.
They served their purpose though and giving them one year of relegation will be good marketing as well.
This will be interesting.
Leeds, Leicester and Burnley have previously written to Everton’s prospective new owners, 777 Partners, warning they intended to sue for damages in the event of a guilty verdict. All three clubs were relegated in the past two seasons when Everton narrowly survived.
I hope this happens
That’s true, and perhaps if Everton had won the CL and PL, they might not have got a points deduction.
Surely you only have a case if you finished 3rd from bottom?
But West Ham paid Sheff United off after the Tevez fiasco, so there is certainly potential for Everton to have a case to answer here.
I can envision both sides to be relegated tbh. Frankly, the stuff that’s coming out is just way too serious for just a slap on the wrist.
The rest of the league will be fuming if Chelsea and City get away with it again. There is still enough prestige between Arsenal, Man Utf and Liverpool to sustain the league’s popularity for a season or two.
yeah I guess. I just mean the whole thing started with the FA having no problems with this happening since it obviously boosted English football in both compeititiveness and income share, then UEFA figured that well since you are not regulating it we have to come up with something that emulates what they have in Spain or Germany with supporter-owned foundations, and I bet if you asked the FA people off the record back in 2009 they probably hated the idea.
Conceptually it’s for fairness and really good and it works fine in other places. The way it’s implemented in England has been farcical in every way. It’s exactly like VAR :ramsdale:
I think Everton could make a compelling argument in court that all that money didn’t make them any better.
Honestly I think it’s the other way around, I’m with @InvincibleDB10, if they actually got really good and started doing well in Europe they’d have a better chance of avoiding punishment 
Jokes aside though, it feels like mockery whenever currently harmless teams get punished. For us, who are fighting the big cheaters to try and win the league anyways.
