Is that just giving second place the title? As much as I’d love the four titles in a row Man Utd came second in 20/21.
And Spurs would have been there at some point, no?
Is that just giving second place the title? As much as I’d love the four titles in a row Man Utd came second in 20/21.
And have to say that Man United finishing 2nd in 2017/18 and 2020/2021 and getting those throughly undeserved titles won’t set right by me. Their point tallies were miles behind City’s. We lost ours by single points.
They had a late season collapse, came third and Leicester won it that year.
It only covers 2014-2018 I believe.
They came second to Chelsea in 16/17.
From 2009-2018.
But an argument can well be made that City improved on those ill-gotten gains from 2019 onwards and hence deserved to have all their records removed.
Plus there’s absolutely no indication that City didn’t continue to flout the rules.
Pep’s titles are found outside of the window. But those are tainted as well by association and deserve to be removed too.
And fuck Chelsea off while we are at it too. Those scums didn’t play by the rules too.
I’m surprised to see so much enthusiasm on here. Rich people always find a way to escape punishment. They will find a way. There is no justice in this world, and anyway, we are accustomed to be fucked over and there is no reason for it to change.
Rui Pinto, I’d like to buy you a pint!
Rui Pinto, I’d like to buy you a pint!
Just came here to say this, take a bow Rui Pinto.
A simple banner in the Kop would suffice.
“None of it mattered”.

That should be put up on the score board, would be brilliant
However, with City breathing down our necks we had to go for the wins, which changes the whole mentality.
Oh they can expel them from the football league, for sure.
Here’s a list of possible sanctions and one critical rule that allows the PL to just throw the entire books at the fuckers.Under Rule W.51 of the Premier League Handbook, an independent commission has an incredibly broad, virtually limitless mandate when it comes to enforcing punishments against a club.Because clubs deliberately chose not to establish a rigid “sanctions grid” (to prevent teams from calculating whether a rule breach was worth the risk), the panel has the authority to combine multiple punishments or invent entirely custom penakties
The explicit options available to the Premier League are grouped into major categories:
- Sporting Penalties
- Points Deductions: This can be a deduction of points scored or to be scored in the future. Crucially, the rule allows points deductions to be applied retrospectively to previous seasons, which legally opens the door for a club to be stripped of past Premier League titles and trophies.
- Expulsion from the League: The commission can officially recommend that the Premier League board expels the club from membership. This would force the team out of the top flight completely, requiring them to try and rebuild from the lower leagues of the English pyramid.
- Match Suspensions & Replays: The panel can suspend a club from playing in any league matches for a defined period or recommend that specific previously played matches be entirely replayed.
- Operational & Roster Restrictions
- Player Registration Bans: The league can cancel or refuse the future registration of new players, essentially forcing a transfer ban on the club
- Conditional Punishments: Sanctions can be made contingent or suspended. For example, a club might face a massive points deduction that is only triggered if they fail to meet specific financial targets or actions within a fixed timeframe.
- Financial Penalties
- Unlimited Compensation: The panel can order a club to pay an unlimited amount of financial compensation to any person or other club affected by their breaches.
- Fines and Costs: The commission can levy unlimited financial fines and order the guilty club to pay all administrative and legal costs associated with the investigation.
- The “Catch-All” Clause
Under Rule W.51.7, the handbook concludes with a sweeping power that allows the panel to “make such other order as it thinks fit.” This single line means that if a case is of unprecedented scale, the panel does not have to stick to a pre-written list; they can design a bespoke punishment tailored specifically to the severity of the offense.
So, everything is on the table/
There is a principle of proportionality that the Courts can determine so words like unlimited are not wholly accurate.
I know but we have to stick to that period.
As I said I’d rather they weren’t awarded.
But all that ‘messy’ situation is down to individual clubs suing City for loss of revenue and making their life hell for years to come as they did with these charges.
