It’s a much bigger problem for the powers that be to declare that a side who’ve been winning things have been doing it unfairly than to go after Everton, I can’t see anything major happening to City

It'll all get too complicated, and much easier to give them a lesser punishment than taking away titles/ awarding relegations or whatever some folks would like to see.

And that’s without the politics involved, which would probably lead to the same end.

That is all the more reason for them to be punished. A precedent has been set here with Evertons punishment. It can't now all just be ignored. Yes,city have rich owners but there are a lot of very powerful other clubs,here and Europe, who want resolution. Don't underestimate them.Its not just city's owners who have power and influence.

Understand what you mean but surely if the charges stick, what they've 'won' is basically unfair,how can they be allowed to get away with it? I'm sure the Premier League would love to just brush it under the carpet,but it's too far gone now.And don't forget it's the actual 20 clubs who ARE the Premier League- they can set an agenda and if the rest want proper punishment,it will be hard to avoid.

City deserve to get punished, but we all know they will not, at least to the extent that they should. Will be a slap on the wrist if anything and nothing more.Is that fair? Of course not, but money talks and shit walks as my Gran used to say.

Understand what you mean but surely if what they've 'won' is by basically cheating,how can they be allowed to get away with it? I'm sure the Premier League would love to just brush it under the carpet,but it's too far gone now.And don't forget it's the actual 20 clubs who ARE the Premier League- they can set an agenda and if the rest want proper punishment,it will be hard to avoid. Not defending Citeh, but Chelsea bought success, Blackburn bought success (Jack Walker) and Man U have always had money to buy success. Newcastle are on their way to doing it and we have money now, but not on the same scale. Wrexham, Fleetwood etc. It's always been done and always will be.

Were any of those contrary to the rules at the time?

City will get away with the charges. I'd be amazed if they get anything more than a fine!

You are allowed to spend money but you have to comply by the same set of rules as all the other clubs. You can't have 1 club just ignoring the rules whilst the others are restricted by abiding by them- that is not fair competition.
