Man City Charges Hearing Concluded

[Rauko]

Just as a curiosity - if they get relegated to the Manchester Cloggers League - will that mean an extra auto promotion slot this season in the Champo?

No I'd imagine there would just be a reprieve for the team that finished 18th.

Yes, - lose/lose if they get relegated to the championship.
They will take a promotion spot the following season

I am sure they can’t be demoted , only relegated on point. As the premier league and EFL are different competitions there is no mate to allow for demotions as we have seen it Italy.

What is the punishment available to the Premier League?

They can take 50 points off them.

They will be fined and we will all be expected to carry on as normal.

They could take 500 points of them but would only see them relegated in one season.

Could the EFL refuse to accept them?

The EFL will be wetting their knickers at the thought of them in the football league.

Big fine (which they can afford) token pts deduction and as we were.

It simply cannot be this lenient (unless they are found entirely not guilty and everything is published as proof).

Why?

It'd be a big boost to the revenue in whichever league they ended up in and they wouldn’t be there long.

It won't happen anyway, worst I'm expecting is a massive fine as it's largely over offences from years ago.

Even if they got the largest points deduction in English football history, something like 35 points, they'd probably stay up.

How is this still ongoing? How many teams have been charged and convicted whilst this has been going on?

Several. And it’s still going on because it’s an incredibly complex case involving a network of business, nation states, lawyers, national governments, governing bodies and competition law. I would love them to have declared City guilty and chucked them in the Northern League in one afternoon but it doesn’t work like that.

In fairness its a very big case (in terms of volume, not just profile).

115 individual charges. I’m amazed it’s finished already tbh.

Ah, just seen this. Better answer than mine.

I am a bot out the loop with all their charges as I pay very little attention to any team other than Boro. Makes sense though if its a bigger case, justice can't be rushed.

It won't be finished for months yet.

The judgement itself will take a while.
