This a hard to analyze, as you did have to figure out which games against both oil cheats (not counting Newcastle yet they might be the first oil club not to cheat although I’m not holding my breath on that) affected the outcome of relegation battles. Additionally, its hard to know if both clubs would have been fighting relegations themselves if they had been run as proper clubs, not as sportwashing entities.
Chelsea was on the brink of doing Leeds when Abramovich came in That’s why they need that CL qualification over Liverpool. Manchester City on the other hand had moved to a new stadium four years prior to UAE and some questions if I remember if they could hold it together not to mention that infamous 1-8 game vs Middlesbrough.
I don’t care what fans of these two cheats think as they cheated if they are proud of what their clubs did then that’s on them. As for other non-big four clubs then they have every right to feel upset as with relegation their team had to play less quality football. Although EFL Championship (the old second division) has more quality than some top-flight leagues in other countries.
Makes no sense if you ask me,
no point punishing Boehly ownership for what the Abramovich ownership did. Especially since they have been reporting those breaches by Abramovich. Stripping titles and trophies makes more sense than docking points from the current season
