Everton were deducted 8 points for being 19.5m over the threshold.

Man City should be deducted 369 points for the 900m of financial manipulation.

Thats just maths, before we get to breaching terms of cooperation with the investigation, compensation to clubs, sponsors of clubs & players potentially for loss of earnings through bonuses and prize money.

Put them on -369 points and then it’s a race to get the points back to zero. Longer it takes the more relegations.

Borderline impossible to compensate every club affected in league/cup matches & can’t quantify for things like Rogers winning the league = No Klopp. Leicester not relegated = another club was .

Nobody can be awarded titles / cups in a hypothetical landscape that would’ve lead to different managerial hires, signings, systems & tactics.

A flat compensation from the Premier League & Man City distributed to all Clubs impacted multiplied by the amount of seasons you competed in the poorly governed, tainted league makes the most amount of sense.

🚨 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.

It’s not about the cheating.

Sure, they smuggled hundreds upon hundreds of millions of owner funding into the club, disguised as sponsor revenue (as well as paying staff and overheads off-book) gaining a huge illicit advantage that meant they could outspend all competition. Yes, it’s what enabled them to cheat their way to all that tainted silverware and fully corrupt the integrity of the league. But you know what? If the League earnestly believed they could rein in Man City with regular sanctions, I think they would do.

Hell, if Man City had plead out at the start, they might have got away with a mere relegation.

But it’s about how they responded to getting caught that means these owners won’t be permitted to remain in the League.

After the initial Der Speigel leak, Uefa went for them, at pace. Man City refused to cooperate or share evidence. Uefa sanctioned them. At CAS, Uefa shat the bed and Man City were let off. But shortly after that, Der Speigel leaked more emails which demonstrated Club officials and senior business leaders had lied - committed perjury - to get Man City off. They were caught with their pants down; their shame out there for everyone to see. No ambiguity. No missing context. Clear as day. They cheated and lied about it.

Yet when the Premier League sought to investigate, again, Man City refused to comply. So the League took them to arbitration to force them. Man City lost and yet they still refused to comply. Instead, they took the matter to the High Court and Court of Appeal… and lost twice again. Only then did they comply (whether they’d tried to sabotage the original evidence by then, who knows - I’d put nothing past them).

Throughout, Man City have demonstrated a total preparedness to corrupt the integrity of the competitions they are in and a refusal to
accept the authority of the leagues to protect that integrity. Instead, they sought to conduct highly expensive lawfare to evade justice.

You cannot allow such a powerful, malign actor to be part of your collective. They’re simply too dangerous. You just have to expel them.

That’s why I have suspected the Independent Commission will recommend expulsion and sufficient clubs would vote for it.

What could save them? A sacrifice. A fall guy. Someone that can take all the blame and walk away. The thing is, there are very few people who this could credibly be. Based on the leaked emails, it would have to be the entire executive for sure as well as Simon Pearce. But also, one of Khaldoon or Mansour.

Given Khaldoon’s been put front and centre with the media for dealings with world leaders lately… and Mansour has basically been hidden away, with hit pieces out connecting him to the genocide in Sudan… I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe Mansour would be the one taking the bullet.

Take the fines, compensation claims, stripped titles, and relegation on the chin and agree to sell the club to prevent expulsion.

One or the other it must be. And hopefully, this summer, not next.

If you leave it to the last day(s) and hours, shit can happen and you put things out of your control. It is incompetence to set a fake deadline saying you want time for a replacement to then let everyone know you will still accept on deadline day and not get a replacement

1 - Morgan Rogers is the first Chelsea player to have 3+ shots (3) and create 3+ chances (4) in the first half of his Premier League debut for the club on record since 2003-04.

Impact.
