KDB to the carpet? Would take Haaland to come on from the bench too.
Liverpool did have a couple of games in hand.
Liverpool also went 16-2-0 in the final 18 games.
This is where that view comes from:
Just one game in hand for Liverpool.

Bottling bastards
Anyone saying they know what the maximum penalty could be here is essentially lying.

Ok so that game in hand made it 8 pointsā¦ coupled with pool barely dropping points for the rest of the season made it tight.
City took 40 points from the final 18 games which isnāt great for them, but itās hardly horrific @GC-Maniac
Liverpool drew against Spurs twice that season really did them in. Conte really got under Kloppās skin if I recall. Then another Italian coach punks him in the final (Ancelotti). Donāt even have beef with Klopp but that was quite funny watching it in action.
Kavehās sources ā¦
Nice little caveat (Kaveh-at) at the end there, and thatās the point.
The commission (which hasnāt even met yet) will ultimately make recommendations and I assume the PL will apply those recommendations in full because what was the point of the investigation otherwise. Second guessing what they might do or trying to apply a ceiling to it doesnāt make sense.

Iām sure I read that thereās a panel who will issue a punishment initially, and then when City inevitably appeal, a second 6 person panel that will essentially determine the final outcome.
Canāt see any of this being settled this season. Although if City decide that a points deduction this season is better rather than scuppering next season with a points deduction - hard to say. They could very easily throw this season and focus on a rebuild from 2023/24 onwards.

Knowing our luck the EPL will start them on minus 25 points or similar next season and maybe the season after. Iām pretty sure thatās how it was handled previously.
However, Iād hope that if the FA feel that the team continues to benefit from the alleged wrongful acts, they would act quickly and effectively knock them out of the top 4 race.

Donāt worry about looking for gifts, letās just try and earn the most points on merit.
Reading all this reminds me why I begged to not get assigned to financial crimes.

Iām not looking for gifts or expecting them, Iām enjoying the show.
We absolutely have to focus on winning on merit. I want Man Cityās biggest humiliation this season to be getting thumped by us home and away in the league.
