EXCLUSIVE: Erling Haaland signs new 9.5yr contract to commit vast majority of career to Manchester City. 24yo #MCFC striker now secured to 2034 & any exit clauses from previous terms removed. Among most lucrative deals in sporting history @TheAthleticFC
They’ve 100% beaten the case and got away with it.
Tying him to that so it maximises his price when they have to sell him when the sanctions hit. I honestly don't think they can escape the charges.
Well, I've said it from day one and I still believe they will negotiate a show trial with a minimal punishment with the PL. A token points deduction and a big fine (which will be meaningless to their Arab billionaire owners). No real punishment, no trophies or titles voided, and the cheats go on cheating. Wonderful time to be alive.
The only way they avoid big penalties is if they are found not guilty on all charges. Forest and Everton points deductions have set a precedent. So if they are guilty of anything they are getting slammed.
Oh I hope you are right mate. But I'm a cynic by nature and nothing I've seen in decades of watching football tells me they will get properly punished.
For the record I don't view a simple points deduction as a proper punishment. All trophies they "won" during the period of cheating should be voided, but they won't.
Remove their wins by all means but don't create a lucky losers column for the teams that came second . I don't want our record to have champions with an asterisk. I would prefer the charts to say that they won it under a cloud.

Does that mean you have one of them Crystal Ball things for looking beyond the veil? Or do you fix Cars?

I think that's what happens in "The Dungeon"
On the first night... Yes.... But it gets MORE Depraved after that..... Y'see a lot of people think some posters have been 'Banned"...
Ohh! No No No.... They were taken to the dungeon and .... well I'll let your imaginations do the rest....

Absolutely agree with all of that - IF they are found guilty and IF they are properly punished, no football supporter anywhere will acknowledge them as league champions for those years so they wont have to have the titles officially removed. Likewise to give us the title now and for some supporters to celebrate it will be as cringy as celebrating the charity shield as a proper trophy
What we also shouldnt forget is that if the premier league go down the path of declaring the second placed teams as champions, then it will give the victims 2 or 3 more league titles too, and I def dont want that

That's why I say "voided". Declare the seasons they cheated to take the titles and cups as null and void. I certainly don't want to be handed any trophies we didn't actually win.

You boring c.unts!
I mean its bad enough that the Club Level hoardings at the bowl aren't adorned with the Calendar Year Champions trophies from 2013 and 2024, and you're now going to deny us the Retrospectively Awarded Champions trophies of the past 2 years as well. Shame on you
