Given City have irrefutable evidence, it should be done swiftly.

Every time I hear City personnel say āirrefutable evidenceā, it reminds me of this.

But in a new and surprising development, we have been told that many rival clubs consider Man City such a key part of the commercial attraction of the Premier League, both in the UK and globally, that if rival clubs voted to expel them, it would be as if those clubs were ācutting off their noses to spite their facesā. Man City charges: Premier League executives would be 'staggered' if clubs vote for expulsion as punishment | Football News | Sky Sports
Be interesting to know who said this and from what club, unless Skysports just made it up!

That has been - to borrow your favourite word - the discourse from some in the media this week: that regardless of the level of cheating, you canāt take anything away from pep and the city players for what they achieved on the pitch.
Every time this happens in my head, I instantly translate this to Armstrong powering to TdF victories. āRegardless of the level of drugs or foreign blood in his body, he still got over the line first and you canāt take that away from him.ā
Iāve also heard some arguments (Bent was it?) making the argument that other teams also had super squads at various points in time which made it almost impossible to beat them, mainly United. We arenāt talking about City having a single season where they have a phenomenal squad but where theyāve had by far the best squad in 12 of the last 18 years. It wears teams down. City were asking other clubs to put together perfect seasons, which is almost impossible, in order to overcome them. And they asked that of them every year.
The arguments are bullshit.

City getting desperate now having leaked that Khaldoon al Mubarak is actually listed with the foreign office as an emirati diplomat which, of course, means he canāt be arrested for criminal or financial offences. I think itās called getting your ducks lined up and these ones have extremely squeaky arses.

So who can go to prison instead of him?
Sorriano.
If Spain had the balls to keep him in prison , he wouldnāt have been involved in football in the first place.
Berrada probably too

Klopp getting his flowers from a ManU blogger
Sky Sports is doing something very underhanded. Iāve noticed them trying hard not to be overly sympathetic of city but the position keeps slipping here and there and you can sense that they arenāt too keen to fully back the Premier League ruling. Itās almost as if their own product will be damaged by Cityās expulsion so they are painting this picture which gives people the impression that the punishment may not be that severe.because the teams donāt want this.
Man U never had a nowhere near the squad that City had, they had bench players that werenāt elite but could come on and perform in the system very well, whereas City had a bench full of superstars.
Bloody ell, canāt believe I am sticking up for Man U.
THE END IS NIGH!!
It will be ridiculous if the shites do not get expelled from the PL eventually.
But if thatās the case, what would be the worst punishment without expulsion?
500mil one time fine, transfer spending embargo for 5 seasons and a 60 point deduction for each season for 5 seasons.
That would keep them in the PL but the fans are gonna feel so frustrated because they will never get into any position of worth in the league.

A 60 point deduction will most definitely relegate them in the PL going by the last 5 seasons.
Anything less than removal of trophies, expulsion from the Premier League ( preferebly to League 2) and a hefty transfer ban will fucking stink of government appeasement of the UAE.
Iāve always suspected government level interference in this process, and the contradictory statements from flip flop Burham has only heightened my suspicions.

Double the fine, reduce the points to 30 but double the length of point deduction. No transfer incoming but players can be sold without it going towards future spend.
Banned from all cup competitions for 10 years.
Prefer not to even have them in the league though. Theyāve cheated so kick them out.
Why donāt we as a supporter base, learn? I see and hear so many people taking what the media says or reports , as gospel. We, Liverpool Football Club, are the absolute irrefutable proof, of how disinformation and outright lies, is used by social, Broadcast and print media.
How many times, in any media, have you heard this case and verdict being based upon the balance of probability? I have heard it not once.
How many of those reporting on this in the media , are scum fans?
Ratboy Neville trying to whip up a storm, trying to get us , Liverpool supporters, to enact some kind of revenge/violence, ,against Man City and the supporters.
So it gives anotherā Liverpool Supporters againā narrative.
Us and City on the pitch pushed each other to levels of consistency never seen in this country before.
I donāt want a pound of flesh. I hope they clear their name. Iāve enjoyed the last decade or so. I feel for the city supporters that have followed them for decades.
All this should have been kept sealed until the whole process had been completed. If they do overturn it , will the media be held accountable for whipping up a hate campaign? Will they heck.

I want to see the owners punished. As for the club, reset them back to the Maine Road club and let the fans support a club doing it the right way.

Have you just woken up or did you try to post five different things that ended up posting hodgepodge of all of that in one post?
We all enjoyed the football during Kloppās.
But we were playing against cheats.
I donāt need you or Neville or anyone else to tell me what I know is right in this situation.
Historic levels of corruption and cheating must be dealt with historic levels of punishment. So that no one even thinks about doing something like this ever again.
