What about being stripped of titles?
Had a quick search on Transfermarkt because I wanted to have a look at City's spending in their ownership's first three years compared to us.
City
United
Within two seasons City spent more money on players than the owners had bought the club for in 2008. Incredible how that just happened with not a single authority stepping in.
From 2008-11 they were outspending probably the richest and most succesful English club by +400.000.000 euros.
City
| 2008/09 | Net minus of 130.000.000 euros |
| 2009/10 | Net minus of 118.000.000 euros |
| 2010/11 | Net minus of 143.460.000 euros |
| Combined 2008-2011 | = Net minus of 391.000.000 euros |
United
| 2008/09 | Net minus of 37.800.000 euros |
| 2009/10 | Net plus of 77.170.00 euros |
| 2010/11 | Net minus of 12.330.000 euros |
| Combined 2008-2011 | = Net plus of 27.000.000 euros |

The CAS is a dispute forum, the parties have to agree to be subject to its jurisdiction. I assume the EPL has its own dispute resolution and appeals process which does not involve CAS.
Holy hell. That means Ole would have won the league for us!
Would he be the first player and manager who won the league for the club?
Champions on 74 points, you'll never sing that
Ha no, poorly worded. I just didn't know if the full articles had mentioned stripping of titles was part of the punishments under consideration.
If they strip the titles does that mean Maguire and Pogba are PL winners?
Only if they awarded the titles to United instead, it would actually make Pogba a 2 x winner.
No more clued up than everyone else who has read the report and what’s been released I guess.
Have you had a look?
So United and Liverpool will be handed another 3 premier league titles each while City are sent packing to league one. I love it!!!
I'm just here to do some cynical shite posting, I haven't read it and I won't, don't really care as long as there isn't news of City getting some actual punishment. Because tbh this is like the 5th time I read that this time City is surely getting punished for some breach and never anything happens.
Can't disagree there mate at all. I think Pep will stick out his contract even if we do get relegated (he's just that weird) and said so last time with Uefa. The entire squad though will be out the door the minute the verdict comes in (which if we're guilty they are damn right to do.)
We will take Haaland, Bernardo and Alvarez.
Yeah I think the middle ground is a points deduction and transfer ban.
Any type of monetary fine wouldn't be a big enough deterrent, but removing titles/medals would feel hollow for the winners/losers and maybe a step too far.
That would be a multiple PL winner for PP
There was no FFP till 2011... the owners were entitled to spend what they liked.
Don't know how this is handled in England, but in Germany a lot of player's contracts wouldn't even be valid in the second division
I haven’t read all pages. So if the breaches are “just” until 2018, why would the titles in the following seasons be affected?
Just give us the one in 2012/13 and the Scoucers one as well (but not in 2013/14)

Balls to that, with the inevitable arse bottle job................ its on!
Footballs most punchable face and the bloke who looks like Pob after his tv career went off the rails and has to make ends meet giving blowies at the bus station for a bit of fried chicken? Nah your ok cheers.
Mate, you’re guilty. But that’s almost beside the point for me. Do you really think there will be significant punishment ?
If they are punished it will mean they won their titles illegally so surely they will be stripped?
I imagine if the players wanted they could have their contracts torn up on the basis its unfair on them, it'd be in Cities interests to, to not go bust.
What if he knew though
?As much as I'd love City to get relegated and their titles stripped, I can't help but feel sorry for folks like you. Must absolutely suck at the moment, you didn't ask for this
There should absolutely be significant punishment.
And Steven Gerrard, a sobering thought.
According to a city ITK who the whole of bluemoon seems to trust from transfers to pep’s bowel movements:
You must know you've cheated. You're not daft.
City fans can deny it online or with other clubs fans but between just City fans you must all know how dodgy it is. Claiming you have higher revenue than Real Madrid and Utd and Liverpool and Barcelona etc. It's absurd.
What happened?
City cheated.
Its absolutely laughable isn’t it
Honestly for me personally and I know I can be a wum on here sometimes, but with football, I'm kinda like "it is what it is". Do the crime, do the time. I've supported us in League 1 before and will do so again if it comes to it. I don't get overly happy nor overly upset about football. Far too many important things in life to worry about. Put it this way, pissing off my wife by not doing the decisions would be a worse time for me than City going bust.
Agreed. And as another poster said, it must suck to be you right now. So fair play to you here.
But we all know what should happen. My question was do you really think there will be significant punishment ?
I’m not so sure.
A lot of posters stating that they will be sent packing down the leagues & have their titles stripped during that period but is that a certainty? Would be music to my ears if so but not going to get my hopes up too high with that sanction being imposed.
I’d hope so but then again I remember a similar punishment being dished out to Rangers which resulted in them going into administration and being sent to the bottom of the Scottish football tier. However they never got the titles that they won during that time stripped from them.

City's dealings for 2013/14, 2018/2019, and 2021/22 were completely above board if you look at the charges carefully.
