Apparently 65% of relegation betting has been on city in pre season bets...

Don't know if an immediate relegation would count or people are just hoping for a 50-100 point deduction :D

It would take more than 50 to relegate them, imo.


And that could be how they get "punished" without being punished. Hand them a 50-point deduction - and everyone will agree that is a huge deduction, but then they escape relegation on 40 points - and they are back to business as usual next season.

I can't see it being a points deduction. It will be expulsion from the league imo if they are found guilty of enough serious charges.

And those were just the bets placed by Ivan Toney and Lucas Paqueta.

Expulsion from the league would just have them create the super league taking all the American owned clubs with em.

weren’t they also using their political power to get out of this over inferstructure in England? I don’t know the ins and outs of it but I just feel like this is going to end with all charges being dropped

Good. Let them fuck off and take Chelsea with them.

I just worry that becomes the first domino that then allows all the other big 6 clubs to dip/real and Barca and all that and football as we know it ends.
The British clubs won’t get away with going to a super league. There’s a regulator coming that was specifically set up because of the negative reaction last time they tried it.

Nah fans won't put up with it, even City fans, let alone the government. The Superleague is dead as far as leaving domestic football to create it is concerned. The way all the teams involved last time crawled their way back groveling proves that.

Hope they open up with that stat in guardiola’s first press conference and ask him for his views on it! 😂

The super league wasn’t to replace the PL but the champions league. Not sure how people are still confused by this.

I'm going to go with a conservative estimate that we won't have heard a verdict by this date next year, let alone in 6 months.
And then another two years as they appeal...

I think they're guilty as sin but I also think that they are so rich they will wriggle their way out of it.

By that time we will be ready to challenge with our amazing youth players coming through and being starters by then!

They will appeal this into oblivion until the prem/fifa have to drop the case. They have more money than all these orgs put together
