FA/League has apparently looked at the game and there won't be any post facto punishment

It's City. FA rule 17.6.5(a) states very clearly "no punishment shall be handed out to any player for Manchester City FC for any transgression on or off the field of play and no punishment shall be handed out to the team, ownership or member of the staff for Manchester City FC for any wrongdoing at any time."

Rule 17.6.5(b) then follows and clarifies "when the ownership and management of Manchester City FC break any financial rules of the FA, the FA will immediately censure and dock points from lower table clubs, to include but not limited to Everton FC and Nottingham Forest FC."

It's very clear.

You're forgetting the clause that states referees must attend Man City "fundraising" matches in the Middle East and get paid $20k per match that they ref.

Evidently he went back in. It's from Ornstein, so pretty reliable. Edit: And they made an official joint statement with Moshri, so it's pretty much definite.

That's good. As much as I love a little schaudenfreude I don't want them to go full Sheffield Wednesday and the wheels fall off

I like having fun at Everton's expense, especially when they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like they have, but I don't actually want them to go down. At the same time, I don't really want the foxes to go back down either. But someone has to, so there we land.

Yeah, I want them to go down. I want Pickford making saves in a beer league somewhere, getting his ass whipped for being a jackwagon.

I just dont want it to happen because City cheated and Everton took the fall for it.

Pickford is pretty annoying, but if they go down I'm pretty sure some other team will get him.

Hopefully not my team… #SouthgateOutBeforeHesIn

It's what we all expected to happen.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

It was the letter Man City put out about the ruling. Basically they were wronged and the victim.

This ruling is pretty entertaining. So EPL was going after M.E. tied clubs because of sponsorship deals with associated companies, all while other teams like Arsenal were JUST FINE taking $200 million in interest free loans from shareholders.

Fair play my arsenal.

Checks still cash if you're suspended, right?

This is about interest free loans. So that 200m loan that Arsenal has gonna have to have some interest applied to it. With the ways all these owners and businesses work, they'll have to slap a 2-5% interest on the loan and call it a day which is the way it should be. No team should be able to borrow money from their shareholders (owners) without having to pay some sort of interest on it.
