Martin Samuel’s column in The Times this weekend should be interesting, I mean, be honest, who doesn’t like a break on a yacht in December for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

Where might this end?👇Any team The Cheats played in a cup could conceivably sue, too
At what point is it cheaper for Abu Dhabi to collapse the club than settle legal claims?
The PL can only relegate them via a points deduction
City go bankrupt + they're heading to non-league
As I've argued before, the BBC, Sky, ITV & other broadcasters shld
now sue the Premier League and City for return of rights' fees they paid for coverage of competitions covered in years we now know City cheated. Fans who bought tickets in those years should get big refunds.

Due to the nature of what City have apparently been found guilty of, the police, Serious Fraud Office or HMRC may all look to open investigations into what has happened. If that arises, sporting sanctions may be the least of City and Abu Dhabi's worries.

The annual UEFA European Club Finance and Investment Landscape report highlights the reliance on sponsorship income for City. Of the €426m of commercial revenue presented in the report attributed to City, just €85m related to kit and merchandise income (20% of commercial rev).

That does not mean City simply stopped such rule-breaking activities at that point. Look at City's commercial revenues for 2014/15 onwards:
14/15 £173m
15/16 £178m
16/17 £218m
17/18 £232m
18/19 £227m
19/20 £246m
20/21 £272m
21/22 £309m
22/23 £341m
23/24 £345m
24/25 £340m

The elephant in the room for the PL of course is it’s obviously now impossible to continue to allow the City owners to own and operate a PL football club.

It’s an absolute disgrace that’s it taken this long to reach a verdict with Man City and they’ve happily spent half a billion in transfer fees this summer and inflated the market for everyone. The punishment needs to be a very, very severe one.

Lance Armstrong won 7 Tour de France titles
Guess how many people still talk about those achievements?
They can strip our titles all they want. Doesn’t change the fact that we won them. Honestly that holds 0 value to me. Because it’s some paperwork that holds 0 value in everyone’s minds.
The real concern is whether or not they decide to send City down the league system. And if they place a transfer ban let’s say a 3 year ban, what do we do? What happens to our current players? They will find legal ways to terminate their contracts.
Many concerns.

No one suffered more from Man City’s cheating over the years than Liverpool.
City’s next game: Liverpool at Anfield.
Give them hell. Do it for Klopp.

Manchester City: bloody hell.
Obvious we all knew they were cheating.
Been investigating it and writing about it for 14 years.
But still: bloody hell.
Not the best day for my dog to die and my house go on the market, but obvs I WILL get around to covering this
