@PalacePeaked@TheAthleticFC@dermotmcorrigan That was 2018-2019 season which is not part of the 9 year charge period.
I genuinely think Watford should be looking at this because nearly the entire squad was built from investments made during the charged period. Around 22 players.
City owe the league roughly £2.86bn
🧵below
Here’s my rough estimates of the financial harm clubs and players suffered from 2009/10 to 2017/18, adjusted for inflation plus 4% yearly interest:
Clubs: ~£1.09–1.15bn (~£2.38–2.52bn today), including ~£580m (~£1.27bn today) from relegation
Players: ~£170–200m (~£375–435m today)
Combined rough estimate: £1.26–1.35bn (~£2.76–2.96bn)
Not included: lost sponsorship and commercial deals, cup and UCL runs City cut short for other clubs, or other relegated sides who could argue they'd have stayed up.
And that's before counting the owners, sponsors and investors who put money into these clubs. It's a whole ecosystem of losses that can be justified.

Okay, now that we’ve gone club by club, year by year through the losses from the charged era, there’s another argument that needs to be made.
I think Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal also have a serious case to examine over the FIVE Man City league titles won after 2017/18.
And their lawyers should start with one line from José Mourinho:
“They are investments from the past, not from the last two years.”
If you follow Mourinho’s logic.
Below are each of those five title-winning seasons and the City players, first team AND academy….who were already investments from that fraudulent era.

THIS IS HUGE!
Those first nine years, City didn’t just win trophies, they jumped ahead of clubs at every level of the table. Every place gained meant somebody else lost revenue, and wages,
My rough calculation across 35 clubs and players: £2.86 BILLION.
Club by club. Player by player. Year by year. Lost revenue and wages, inflation adjusted, plus 4% annual interest.
The PL fine MUST absolutely be HUGE.
Before points. Before stripped titles. THEY NEED TO PAY UP
Approximately around: $2.86 BILLION in lost revenue, lost wages, inflation adjusted, plus 4% annual interest.
See below: Nine seasons. 35 clubs. Players included. Club by club. Year by year.

🚨 Premier League clubs planning legal action following guilty verdict against Manchester City relating to financial rule breaches. Lawyers instructed & work under way for some time before #ManCity outcome; would be after any appeals process @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/cNGSwkpn9J
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer or an accountant, just a fan who looked at nine seasons. Prize money, UCL and Europa payouts are ballpark figures, player bonuses are guesses (contracts are private), and relegation losses don't subtract parachute payments. Treat all of it as a rough estimate.
