All 20 of their fans - fk em, let em have it.
We will always know they cheated. I know which camp I prefer being in. Hate cheating.

But it will prevent them from developing a new generation of fans around the world, which as discussed previously is happening in schools currently.
And also it would be beautiful to see Pep and KDB crying

Just taking away what they have won and exposing them for cheating is not gonna stop them from generating a new generation of supporter.This will only happen if they lose their stars and stop competing at the top end of competitions.

There seems to have been a real vibe shift away from āthis case is a big dealā to something approaching a recognition that what is about to happen is monumental. The number of pieces Iāve read recently that openly speak about punishments equivalent to the death penalty is really striking.
You can imagine the league feeling a bit apprehensive about the reaction to something that big, a concern that even people who want city punished will view it as them overplaying their hand. If that were the case, you can imagine a campaign being pursued of stories being floated that muse over these sorts of punishments to give the public time to start getting their heads around it. If that was happening it wouldnt look too different than what weāve been seeing the last 3-4 weeks.

Well their owners would know about death penalties
Not liking the fact that everything is behind closed doors. First we donāt hear or get updates of whatās going on but maybe there are pros and cons to thisā¦

Iām getting ahead of myself, but, fire saleā¦ What Man City players might be useful for us as we look to the future?
None of them because they are tainted and we donāt like them?
Or is there anyone you would welcome, in an opportunistic (this seems to be the word for our transfers) sort of way?
Their options? Taking the train into Temple Meads or Bristol Parkway when they have to go to play Bristol City

Pretty much.
Rodri is the obvious one both in terms of quality and what we need. Maybe some of the kids less tainted by it like Lewis and/or Bobb. The rest can get fucked.

Didnāt someone say further up this thread that there is no way they can pass the equivalent financial regulations in the Football League?
Surely they will aim to make the punishment really harsh but knowing that it will get reduced on appeal or will be negotiated down if they remove their threat to take legal action. My guess is relegation to Championship and a massive fine will be the final outcome and I think City will consider they got off very lightly and accept it.
