Roman Abramovich is accused of paying people under the table. Man City have 115 charges.
Under Abramovich Chelsea have won - 5 League titles, 2 UCLs, 2 Europa Leagues, 5 FA Cups, 3 energy drink Cups, 2 supercups,
Under Sheikh Mansour Man City have won - 7 league titles, 1 UCL, 3 FA Cups 6 energy drink cups, 1 super cup.
Lets say hypothetically the EPL manage to prove it happened. And the points deduction is something that even Man City cannot recover from Eg. 90+ points deducted.
Would you be willing to accept a relegation to the championship for the above memories?
Eg. you saw your club win those things and have the memories of watching it?
It’d be more pertinent to ask Portsmouth fans if the FA cup was worth everything that came afterwards.
Maybe they think it was, maybe not… but the fa cup and financial ruin were intrinsically linked.
As a Pompey fan. Yes. It was fucking brilliant winning the FA Cup. Years since have been shit but getting better now. Considering only 4(?) teams outside of the big 6 have won in it the last 30 years it’s something that not many fans have experienced or probably ever will.
