It’s all the same. The Qataris would absolutely do the same. As much as I hate to say it, I much prefer United.

They have to punish retrospectively otherwise clubs will just take a small fine (£200m is nothing to these guys) as a cost of business.

But I was close. Potayto potahto situation.

You’re saying all that revenue wasn’t legit!? With all that history and large fan base that fills the Emptihad I mean Etihad every game you’d think it was legit.

And what will happen? A fine of 100£ and that's it

Surprised Pikachu face

They are also accused of lying about expenditure, paying a manager and maybe some players part of their wages under the table.

Omg thank you, i tried reading the official premiere league release and wanted to blow my brains out.

Clarified and easy to understand 10/10 comment thread.

It'll probably end up being a fine, which must be very concerning for a team with an unlimited budget.

I'm shocked something is actually being done.

I heard he used to win due to his stamina because everyone else got gassed

This is going to be so delicious.
Every football fan has known that City have been cooking the books for years. That the Prem is doing something about it is....slightly astounding.

Even if the punishment is light or nonexistent, its going to be a fun ride hearing the details!

Man City is the Red Bull of PL

If I’m not mistaken don’t most high level players have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if the team is relegated?

In fairness though, they probably don’t give a fuck about this lol

Not just relegation, knock them down to the National League.

As nice as it is to finally happen, 4 of the last 5 seasons if they even got a 2 point deduction, Liverpool would have more titles...

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation.

It’s owned by members of the UAE royal family. Wrong country.

Yes, basically your spending is limited by your revenue (there's a formula that I don't understand, but that's the gist of it)

What city have been doing is making up fake corporations to sponsor the team, making it look like their revenue is much higher than it actually is.
