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?
They can’t strip titles, I believe it’s not a penalty they can deal. Which makes it all the more galling that these things drag on 14 years.
Even if relegated you could argue it’s the price of doing business and well worth the cost. A team like City couldn’t have become what it is by following rules designed to stifle competition and let the same group of preferred teams win the league.
Yes they can.
