Eject the owners.
Strip titles.
Tax the ownership sale.
Points deduction for 10 years.
And let the rest of the PL sue the carcass.

Talk of one relegation, a £100m fine, European bans. It’s just nowhere near enough. This is the biggest scandal the Premier League has ever seen. We’ve all spent 15 odd years watching and spending money on a sham every week.
Honestly, not one single trophy they’ve won should be allowed to stand.
People don't realize how huge this is.
City built their whole sporting project on CHEATING. Pep, Mancini, KDB, Aguero—all of that was CHEATING. The celebrations, the glory, the glamour—all of that was CHEATING. The stadium, the trophies, the legacy—all of that was CHEATING.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commission’s findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Board’s intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: The Premier League champions if Manchester City are stripped of their league titles:
🏆 11/12: Manchester United
🏆 13/14: Liverpool
🏆 17/18: Manchester United
🏆 18/19: Liverpool
🏆 20/21: Manchester United
🏆 21/22: Liverpool
🏆 22/23: Arsenal
🏆 23/24: Arsenal
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Several Premier League clubs are planning LEGAL ACTION against Manchester City following today’s guilty verdict.
Clubs are looking at potentially claiming COMPENSATION for money they believe they lost because of City’s breaches, including:
• Missing out on Champions League qualification
• Lost Premier League prize money
• Lost sponsorship bonuses
The clubs could even come together in a CLASS ACTION against Manchester City.
