Strip any titles won under seasons where the broaches occurred. But that would meane the PL/FA cratering its own product. The right thing to do but the financial considerations make me sceptical tbh

Isn’t tramadol a pain killer and also potentially addictive if taken long term?
Yeah, it's good stuff, I've had it before as a morphine (which makes me nauseous) alternative.

I've kept some as a safety net.

Not enough to share though ;)

It's never City and Chelsea is it? Just easier to pick on others. Hopefully this starts a flood of these
They will get theres in time - the city charges are much more complicated than those against Everton so it will take time but they are going to get severely done at some point.

Nothing will happen to Citeh, they will just lawyer up and hold things up in court until the prom goes broke, they did the same thing to UEFA and UEFA blinked first, they could in theory force FIFA to bend the knee if they wanted to.

They are going to get relegated mate. I honestly believe that. The points deduction has set a precident now.

All PL clubs have top lawyers. I know this for an absolute fact.
True, but City and Newcastle have the wealth of nations behind him. Not even necessarily to do with the quality of the lawyer, just that they've got money to burn paying them whereas say, Everton don't.

I suspect in City’s case it will somehow go away, there was an article published in the guardian a few months ago saying that the foreign office had refused to deny that the UAE had been using diplomatic channels to lobby on their behalf.

You cannot compare UEFA rules with Premier League rules they are different. If clubs are fined or banned for breaking UEFA rules they can appeal to CAS as Man C did .
Man C have been charged by the PL with breaking PL rules so the process is different , if Man C are found guilty they can only appeal to an independent commission in England they cannot go to CAS or the law courts.
The commission looking into the Man C case has been appointed by Murray Rosen KC not Richard Masters CEO of the Premier League, so is independent of the PL.
Due to the amount of charges against Man C it is going to be something like two years before we get a result and this case will not go away now that Everton have been found guilty, regardless of how many lawyers Man C have.

Nice, we're not considered an anomaly. 😎
who knows how many Spurs or another club would have won in that time if they werent being denied champions league money and player pull year on year by cheating scumbags 🤷‍♂️

Lets be honest if it wasn't for chelsea buying their way and breaching all the rules to win the champions league then who knows if modric and bale stick around longer than they did but we were denied that opportunity because a side constantly bent the rules and committed what if it wasn't in sport would be considered fraud. how many seasons would we have not been in the champions league if city and chelsea played by everyone else's rules? If you remove them it wouldnt have been many at all in that period where we werent 5th or 6th.

Not to mention the fact that Chelsea just hoovered up talented players to stop others around them from having them.

Hazard, Courtois, mata, willian, oscar, parker and that is just off the top of my head players who were on the way to us until chelsea stepped in. There's no love lost from Levy towards chelsea.

What a joke.

So not only can they farm out their deadwood for exorbitant fees (like Chelsea in the summer). They can now have the pickings of who they want, whenever they want.

A Saudi team can buy a player for 100m then loan him to an oil club in Europe for free? Blatant cheating of the FFP rules.
