if that’s true, the league’s been dragging its feet on a billion years for a verdict on 115 charges. City’s lawyers must be billing like it’s a title race.

To be fair they did get their UEFA ban reversed not too long ago
Manchester City is the headline. The bigger story is money in sports. City, Kawhi and the Clippers, Mark Walter, FIFA, Mallya and more — when breaking the rules creates more value than the punishment destroys, is the fine really a deterrent?

To the folks on ESPN FC who defended the players since they did nothing wrong and won on the field: did they win fair and square? Of course not. The players didn’t cheat, but if the club did it procured an unfair advantage over all the clubs who played by the rules.

@ManCity have been found guilty on almost all of the 115 charges brought by the @premierleague. Two years of hearings. Eight years since the first allegations. One of the biggest financial cases in football history just landed. Here's what happens next 🧵

Who is benefiting from this guilty scene apart from arsenal
🚨 BREAKING: Man City could face major compensation claims from Premier League rivals. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham formally reserved their right to pursue compensation against City in 2024 if serious financial-rule breaches are established. Reports now indicate that some of the clubs have calculated potential losses exceeding £100M each, linked to missed Champions League qualification and other lost revenue. 💷 The figures could increase further once interest is factored in. Arsenal are among the clubs with a potential claim on the table. 🔴⚪️ #Arsenal #AFC #PremierLeague #ManCity #Gunners

"The club has diligently respected due process for eight years on the basis that the Premier League board and executive would behave as an independent, impartial and fair-minded regulator, free from partisan influence,"

City treating “no comment” like it’s a tactical masterclass, absolute shambles with better PR.

Time for the entire English football to unite and stand against Man City. Those foreign owners laundered their black money, illegal money from the Middle East to England and invested in City all those years. Unfair advantage ruined so many real hard works of other honest clubs.

The two most scandals in football history happened in premier league and La liga, and ones the premier league has caught theirs i'm thinking on how La liga will also do same for the love of the game.

weird way to report on this. Why not just say they've been found guilty of 114 charges?

The weight of punishment isn’t always straightforward. Hypothetically, if Man City were relegated to League One and fined £500m -£1BN, but the owners then pull out, leaving the club unable to survive, would the punishment effectively destroy the club? That’s the bigger question.

If true this is massive for football. But let's wait for the official Premier League statement, ESPN says sources for now not the independent panel itself
