Err...Not so sure...has there ever been a PL points deduction before?

I read that it's pretty much been verbally agreed that all these payments will still happen as its through no fault of the players they will miss the CL.
I can see them just using stealth payments to fuck the rules over in future, which are very hard to police.

Good call... and pre-PL, Arsenal had points deducted.Middlesbrough aswell?
Jose and Wenger (I think) have both spoken out about this before.Photo op in abu dhabi with an emirates sign in the background £10m. Uefa wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it.
Stan Kroenke owns Emirates? Wownot surprised, but still disappointed how many excuses you hear for their behaviour from football journalists and pundits.
blah, blah....yeah sure it seems the rules were broken....but oh david silva what a player blah blah...poor old pep...blah blah
They cheated. Full stop. All fully documented. If severe action isn't taken against them the game is dead.
on another note...why are people so gullible...."sponsorship" from Emirates airlines....I mean yeah right. The THFC equivalent would have been Spurs getting an eye watering shirt sponsorship, stadium and training ground naming rights deal from....ENIC. The ENIC stadium, ENIC on the shirts....and ENIC telling UEFA and the media at 100m per year...it's a sound business transaction, and oh no, no, no...got nothing to do with bending or breaking the rules to subsidise loss making and the biggest splurge on football transfers ever in football history.....outrageous accusation....pure anti-Spurs bias...
....poor old pep....blah blah....they scored some nice goals blah blah blah
haha it's etihad isn't it....hmm might have to correct that...Stan Kroenke owns Emirates? Wow
Reading this article on the Beeb makes for depressing reading https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51528427 , the legal battle could go on for ages I hope that UEFA have some very sound evidence against City.
Going to be interesting to see the Leicester fans reaction at City's next away game .

Jose’s Utd side would be awarded the 2018 title.
Nope - the case covers payments etc. from 2012-2016 so anything after that wouldn't be affected.
That's not to say they still weren't dodgy after that time period, but that's not what the investigation was about.
