Just a point deduction seems too light for me. All titles won during the times they fudged their numbers should be stripped, and they should be relegated at least twice.

Personally, I'd like to see them have their records excised going back to the date of the first proven charge and see them expelled from the Premier League and Football League altogether. It won't happen but I can only dream.
There’s no way any titles are getting stripped

At the least, Manchester City should be relegated to Championship. And they should be stripped of all titles in that period.
If they don't, the point deductions should be taken back from Everton.
I would love to see the chaos of a 9 point deduction.
Or they should be relegated from the Premier league and forced to apply for entry to the football league who could reject them or allow them to join division 2. Decisions for the rest of the Premier league, do 3 teams still go down, or does man city occupy one of the relegation spots. Also does the Premier league replace them or go forward with 19 teams instead, all valid options.

They will get a point deduction so that they can survive in the PL. I expect 30 points.
I think they’ll do like 50, because it seems like a palatable number and with their win rate, and this years bottom loss rate, they’d still be comfortably in the league but out of Europe

Verdict expected Summer 2025. Can imagine that news will be received well by some people on here...
The City case has been alleging massive fraud for nearly a decade, so I think even 2025 is doing well considering that the only evidence is probably a few thousand documents.

Or not face a points reduction, not get a fine and carry on as they were, following the rules and fighting the spurious claims made by the vindictive FA.
Did I get that right Mr Mansour?
Man, some poor League One club is gonna get an absolute spanking in the Championship in 2026.
In b4 Northampton get absolutely railed 29-0
I hope it is/ isn’t Charlton

This "huge points deduction" better be at least 1150 points taken from every single season prior or I'll join the Everton fans and riot

Can somone ELI5 what rules they've broken?
I thought the Premierleague was free market where clubs and owners can spend as much as they choose?
I hate Man City and Chelsea for this reason and personally think that they've ruined the league but I thought that it's allowed?
Regardless of how much pep spouts about the media etc being all Liverpool. City have been sky’s golden boy for years and footballs in general and excuses have constantly been made for them. They grease all the right palms and have since 08. Nothing will happen this is all just a smokescreen.
So Pep will finally be gone after next season at least

The eyes of the footballing world will be on this. The Premier League better not fuck this up and effectively legitimise financial doping after FFP rules were introduced.

Just relegate them and remove their titles that they cheated for. They can keep their plastic treble

I don't know much about this case but why is everyone so sure that they are guilty?
A few different reasons for me. Firstly the football leaks exposed City and PSG as having absolutely took the piss in terms of fair market value for sponsoring themselves. Though that evidence wasn’t obtained legally and likely wouldn’t be admissible in court. I recall emails from the club acknowledging they were missing ffp and deciding they needed another £10m a year UAE sponsorship deal given by their owners.
After that there have been articles published by respectable journalists investigating some of their sponsors. They have been getting millions a year from companies that straight up don’t exist. Companies where the CEO on LinkedIN is just an actors headshot.
It had been obvious to everyone they were financially doping in some way. Their revenues have been astronomical for years. There was no way they had managed to legitimately grow them so fast. I live in london and have seen many adverts on my Twitter to buy tickets to city games. They don’t really have many fans compared to other top clubs for one. Of course commercial income isn’t solely down to how many fans you have, but there’s no way they legitimately make more commercial revenue than Real Madrid.

No titles, relegation to Bolivia's football league.
Point deduction????? They need to be fucking expelled from the PL and have their titles stripped away!
Points reduction on previous seasons would be interesting.
Man utd want their trophy

Not a loaded headline whatsoever
How many points would it take to put them in a real relegation scrap? It would need to be about 60 wouldn’t it? If they get say 30 or 40 they’ll come mid table then just carry on as before.

And then when they get their points deduction they re enter the room with the other corrupt five clubs and they discuss how the 1 million fine for the actual worst thing to the game, maybe should be more too….or does that upset too many spoilt protected fans
have a better chance of seeing us win the league than city get docked even a single point

Deadpool is gonna love playing against Haaland in 2026
Good, prove our innocence and move on.
There's no innocence to prove. Loads of this stuff was already admitted when UEFA was going after them.

Unless their titles/trophies are stripped, no punishment means anything. Who cares if they’re relegated? They’ll be back, top 4 following season…
They should be relegated at a minimum. Two divisions if we are serious about these rules. But really, they will get a 15-point deduction, still get CL next year, and the farce continues. The PL have to do something that is worse than Everton just so people don't start poking around looking for the bribe money, but not too bad that it costs them future bribe money. Fine line. 15 points leave everyone involved happy.
Can’t wait to pocket Haaland in Sunday league
ManCity have put in so much $$$$ since 2010 that I don't see anything can happen to them. All this is for show
I’ve not really followed this case but realisticly does anybody know what they may actually face, compared to Everton. Is a huge point deduction of several wins on the cards or a title or two?
Better not just be a points deduction. This is such a farce.
Well I guess Pep is going to leave, just like he said he would if it was discovered Man city were cheating.

The reactions when this doesn’t go the way people are frothing at the mouth for it to go will be absolutely fucking legendary 😂
Screw the points deduction. Strip them of the trophies illegally won.
Just shows how stupid Evertons lawyers are, whymdint then choose to wait until 25 to get their sanction. Man City are just smarter.
Point deduction? They should have their titles stripped and transfers ban for 3-5 years
