They,ll probebly end up with compo for a malicious prosecution. And -10 points for Everton In all honesty can anyone really seeing the premier league come up with any decision that’s likely to suggest City’s title wins were won in a way that could be considered unfair. I’d be astounded if they did that, at worst will get some sort of slap on the wrist for minor breaches.

I’d be astounded if they did that, at worst will get some sort of slap on the wrist for minor breaches. That's what I'm expecting. Supposedly there won't be a decision until March next year at the earliest, then City would likely appeal any guilty verdict which would probably delay any things further into next season. There's a distinct possibility they could add another two league titles to their collection by the time they face any punishment if found guilty. I also saw that Chelsea sold two of their hotels to one of their own holding companies to get round FFP recently. The premier league really does stink.

They might think its city today but could easily be them in the future that could easily sway a decision made.

Realistically at most city get fined amd transfer banned for a couple of windows That depends if there’s any legal ramifications. Which allegedly there could be. This isn’t just a matter of the footballing authorities.

I think a factor many aren't taking into consideration is the proposed govt regulator, and if the PL want to stay independent then only giving city a slap on the wrist would be suicide. There's already scare stories about international suspension over 'interference'

There's already scare stories about international suspension over 'interference' ’Cos Blatter and Platini were whiter than white, weren’t they?

You can't have national governments interfering in their country's football organisations. You can have grotesque nation states sport-washing via individual football clubs from another country. I think that's right, anyway.

They won't have the bollocks to do the right thing. If they do, the litigation from the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal against City will mean the Premier League will close shop to stop it from tearing apart.
It will be a cover up. Probably get a massive fine and 20 point deduction which means nothing given the squad. Only consequence will be that Guardiola will leave.

Why would Arsenal, Man U or Liverpool sue? Surely it's in their best interest if hobby clubs like city are put to bed. They were the three most successful clubs before this era

All the more reason for this to be successful then. Edit -just realised I misunderstood ngard's post.
