despite being owned by a state with which the UK has many interests economically will it be one of the cases that might go unpunished?

Personally, no
If anything comes out of the city investigation, will be a very big fine and a possible half a year or 1 year transfer ban.
They ain’t getting a points deduction. They won’t be chucked down the leagues.
I agree they will get a fine that they can afford, unsure about the transfer ban, bit I reckon they will get a small points deduction. One that won’t matter for relegation but might affect a title run.
If the punishment is only a fine, then it’s only against the rules for poorer clubs
Why ?
Should be a transfer ban for every year they cheated.
If they don’t get a points deduction, and a hefty one at that, I think Everton will have something to say. Just a suspicion.
At the very best, IMO they’ll get a 30 point deduction. Which they won’t care about in the slightest.
At worse, they’ll finish outside of any Europe and I doubt even that’ll happen, they’ll probably still make Conference League.
But they’ll take one year of essentially not challenging for the title in exchange for flippantly breaking the rules to get where they are.
Everton can say all they want they are not in charge of the investigation.
The difference is that the Everton charges are to do with huge amounts of money being lost (with the rules designed to prevent against clubs going bankrupt). City are on the opposite end of the spectrum - their earnings are too high (as in, nobody believes their sponsorship deals are reflective of the fair market value).
It’s the difference between financial doping and financial mismanagement. City are in no danger of going bankrupt, they’re just hiding the fact that they’re pumping money into the club in a way that gives them an unfair advantage.
they just said in the Everton independent commission document that fines aren’t sufficient when the owners are wealthy - punishment will be sporting for infringements by rich clubs
How do they determine who’s rich and who’s not when every owner of a Premier League club is rich?
Yep basically everyone except Brentford and Nottingham Forest
Could you link that document? Rather interested what it said
here
Wait, it says a loss up to to 15 mil is largely forgiven but we only lost 4.5 Mill more and lose 10 points?😂
Losses up to £105m over three years are forgiven (as long as you haven’t been in the championship and there is owner funding)
The amounts you’re seeing are the amounts over that threshold - the PL says you’re roughly £20m over it, Everton says they’re just under £10m over it
But that’s £115m - £135m losses over three years
Yeah my mistake I misread it. We had losses of 124.5 mil. 20 mil extra is nothing considering how much players cost nowadays.
Everton had a loss of 300mil with 180mil or something deducted.
Ah, but everton is actually a different club. They wouldn’t do anything to hurt their favorite little golden child. If that were the case they would have done it years ago
lol wat. Then why charge City at all after they were wholly exonerated by CAS? The charges have already done plenty of damage because your average know-nothing red club fan presumes guilt from the outset which the media happily tap into.
They got off cos it was too long in the past. The PL don’t have such rules.
No, that’s the bullshit narrative that is pushed on here and certain sections of the media. The truth is there was no evidence:

That’s directly from the CAS judgement which I’m sure you’ve already read(lol)
They weren’t “exonerated by CAS”. They got off on a technicality because UEFA filed the charges too late under their own rules.
That was for one £8 million sponsorship. Shocking to be this confident and wrong when the evidence is publicly available
As I replied to the other bullshitter:
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnnkd2u49xw0b1.jpg
In my book “no evidence” = exonerated
Might want to do the smallest bit of research next time before confidently being completely wrong. It will help you not look like a complete tit.
Not sure why downvoted, it’s literally the truth lol
Surely they just wouldn’t press charges in the first place then ? I don’t get this logic the FA are doing years of investigation when that have no intention of following up ?
It’s all about pressure from both sides. Can the public threaten the sanctity of the money-making machine enough, or is a sovereign ruler too imposing? The two sides may discuss where the threshold is… at some point, I’d guess, it’s just worth accepting a real hit.
Money is unlimited when it comes to the saudis. They won’t give a shit about a £100m fine and they’ll continue business as usual.
Watch them revert on this when they have to do something to City
A transfer ban is a sporting infringement.
you heard that city group, up the bribes!
Before the Everton decision I would of been inclined to agree with you but now I’m not so sure.
Who am I kidding, it’s a transfer ban at best lol
And a 4 week transfer ban at most. Starting in October…
A fine for financial doping for 10 years is so laughable you can’t do that
Ah yes big fine paid through shady revenue
The consequences of this would be Newcastle just using city’s blueprint & for the next 20 years the premiership would be the same 2 horse race. I think it’s going to be a pivotal moment for the Prem & they either stand up to the oil clubs now or risk fans leaving in their droves.
What blueprint? Spend money? Do you think Newcastle have their own Pep?
Also, would you have made that statement if the Qatari guy had bought United?
Paying refs, spending more than what the club earns (no Newcastle you don’t have money).
Who pays refs? Did Spurs pay refs when Brighton was robbed last season? There are tonnes of such scenarios that have nothing to do with City
Infinite money - big fine = infinite money
Why aren’t they getting a points deduction? If guilty it’ll be fairly easy to prove they gained a sporting advantage which would result in a sporting sanction according to the Everton precedent.
Funny at Juve. If you think there was alot of emphasis on Board of directors getting 2 year bans for inflation of player values and such. So a 15 point ban here an there. UEFA competition bans. People will be disappointed when City don’t end up in the Championship or League 2. There is so many token charges they can give Man City. 2 year sponsors ban. All sorts of garbage.
