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?

I still find it ridiculous that within a year they haven’t found one significant piece of evidence that warrants a transfer band whilst the investigation is ongoing. Stripping them of titles tbh does fuck all, the glory days were lived, fans got to experience those moments and won’t look back and go ahh it didn’t mean anything now. As a gooner I’m not gonna look back and go “see we technically won the league last year”.
As someone else said a demotion to the championship does fuck all, even if you put them all the way down they’ll bounce back up just like Rangers did. Give them a point deduction this year and transfer bans so they can only use academy players etc, and ensure that this never happens again so they can’t buy their way out of the mess they made.
that’s the thing. considering how quickly they made the case against Everton wouldn’t you think they would do the same against City if they had any real evidence to support it?
Of course that’s not true. Stripping them of titles is the single most important thing that must be done to city. If it isn’t done, then it’s proof that cheating works
I’m saying that stripping them of titles makes a statement but it doesn’t exactly undo what’s been done. Fans of city got to live those moments, the treble, aguero last minute goal etc, whilst all of us had to sit back and watch it happen. Stripping them of titles is a bare minimum but not enough. Stripping them of titles doesn’t give us the time back we lost, missing out of players prime years to not have a trophy etc.
The point I’m making is if that’s the end goal, that’s not enough. And something needs to be done today to make sure this season isn’t another wasted year
