If thats the case, many other clubs also knowingly committed fraud. I therefore suspect that’s not the case, and its more likely off the book payments to players/agents/intermediaries, if there’s anything fishy in the transfers

It seemed somewhat obvious these sponsorship deals were dubious.
Weren’t they most followed on some social media channels but dropped off drastically on what’s app channels.

Worth noting that what they’ve been found guilty of is not new. All of this wrongdoing has been discussed at length. I mean I was talking about the Fordham stuff in TIA days. UEFA also covered a lot of this too.
Finally there’s going to be a reckoning. First of several…looks at HMRC, the FA, UEFA…

Can the PL force their owners to sell? Does it get more ‘unfit’ than this?

That’s too high for them. I say The Dog & Duck Sunday Morning U/8’s Div 3 kick about.

No. But one of the bits discussed in the Libero podcast on the issue this week is that supposedly the new Independent Football Regulator does have the power to enforce that level of sanction.

Well damn, back to feeling lenient… Not.
It may not be relevant (because City won’t be qualifying for UEFA competitions for some time) but they’ll definitely be looking at the statements made by City on their more recent licensing applications.

I’m impressed that they are still going with “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions”.

I love that he states that their appeal to CAS, in 2020, showed that City were innocent. To my recollection, the only reason that City got away with it, back then, was that they held up the entire process, until the amount of time reached the statute of limitations. That is not a sign of innocence.
