City have been shown to be cheats. They wouldn’t have won what they did if they had’t had all that financial doping. Blatant cheats and a total disgrace.
Rodri delusional
LFC lost the league to city by 1 point over 2 seasons. 1 point was the margin of victory
It is a group of players brought together illegally, so while its fine to say they earned it, they should have had way less in terms of number of players and quality of squad
This makes Calciopoli look like pickpocketing
The fact that Man City was allowed to buy Jack Rodwell and Alexander Kolorov and they paid Roberto Mancini more than what was officially on record ! <br>They need to be sent to prison !<br>Teams like Liverpool and Man U with billionaire American owners and British owners need to be compensated and Aguero’s goal (the greatest moment in Football History) needs to be erased from everyone’s memory. It’s tainted like my taint .
Strip Man City of all their titles. Strip all Man City players of any trophies won. Rodri should lose his Ballon Dor. Spain should also be stripped of their World Cup win with Rodri in the team. Give the Premier Leagues to whoever came 2nd those years. Give the World Cup to whoever came second that year which would be Argentina. Anything less and I'd rather there just be no punishment at all. No half measures. Send a message that cheating is wrong!
Those group of players wouldn't exist without cheating to get them there that's what is in question...no one doubts the team and players efforts in winning it's the way they came there is in question,without cheating they would not have played for city (bending financial rules) it's not the players it's the club that has gained unfair advantage over the other clubs that has inturn guaranteed success that's what is in question.
Those group of player wouldn't be there if not for your cheating
I’m still convinced they will get a fine of 100m -250m and they will continue to be in the league. I get the sense that the premier league needs man city more than man city needs the premier league
good work espn fc <a href="UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/hands-yellow-heart-red"></a>
We need some sort of justice here
to the man city players, you worked for cheaters so deal with it
The beautiful game ...where corruption happens. Get over it 🙄
Eg, as a pirate, don't tell me i do not know i m on board of a pirate ship? Players and fans have to take accountability too.
This reminds me of the world cup 98'🤔. I think thats the year france 💰 brazil.
The asterix on everything is a team that was ILLEGAL due to doping money into the club to pay for them. An illegal squad paid by money that was NOT ALLOWED. Built a foundation of rigging the system to grow. And now the house of cards will fall, and all success will be taken from the theives in suits.
So Pep got out before it came crashing
they need to be sent to league two on -35 points, and made to sell the team if they dont accept 10 years of supervision
Nedum was put on the spit and roasted at the end of that!
Fine and a slap on the wrist.....the appeal will take another 2-3 years
Fruit from the poison tree.
Rodri is delusional if he thinks it wasnt won with money.
Someone tell Rodri, if a dad robs a bank, the kids don’t get to keep the money! 😂
Was it a six point deduction Everton got? 6 X 115 = 690 points deduction. National League next season?
But the premier League itself allowed all of this to go on under their nose enabling city as a business to grow <br>Now they are acting as though they knew nothing <br>The whole set up is rotten to the core
After the thief gets caught, you dont give back the stolen items??? Ofcourse you do. Thats what punishes the thief, when the items are given back, on top of the jail time, the loss of money, the inability to continue to steal with the crew, etc. Treat City like what they are...a thief, a criminal, a degenerate of English society,
What is rodri on about,the players earned the titles 😂😂😂..if they didn't spend the money half of them wasn't supposed to be there 😂😂
F@cking cheating twats!🤡
Nothing can erase the players' experiences of winning their competitions, yes, but one has to ask, without the cheating, would all those players have been assembled together at the club to enable the squad to win those trophies that they won? Probably not. So the memories and experiences are real and remain in the minds of the players and fans, but the trophies should not and cannot remain with the club. The club has to be punished for cheating and it has to be so severe that no other club or would-be club owner will even contemplate trying to cheat. Dare we talk about jail terms for the directors and top management responsible? Can the football authorities jail them?
if they are found gulty...arent they guilty already ? what are these dudes talking about?
So there guilty, but FFP is broke clubs should spend whatever they like, Newcastle can't because the big six clubs vote against lifting FFP rules , FFP only benefits the big 6, city are guilty for sure but it was better than watching manunited win the league every single season, only like what 6 clubs have won the pl. If city had never broke the rules the pl would look like la liga or worse the German league.
These plastic fans don't even care.<br><br>They'll just jump ship if City get relegated.
This fraud plastic club has destroyed football,I have been saying this for so many years now,this plastic oil club should be given the most strict punishment which all other clubs and football will remember for decades,they are a disgrace of a oil club what are a shame to this beautiful game of football.
The punishment needs to be severe. Only way to set an example.
Apple and Samsung probly breaking rules and not declaring all their financials to avoid paying lots of taxes LOL u guys are such morons
Asterisks??? They should be stripped of titles.
First time on tv since the news broke and nedum doesn’t even sound like he cares man city cheated for a decade. Nobody cares about the footballers feelings. The premier league is a business and a brand and a competition guided by rules. Serious consequences have to follow if city lose the appeal and if the premier league want to maintain integrity.
If MC didn’t cheat Rodri would have never been at MC
The prem and the Govt need to make city owners sell the club they cant be left incharge or thry will do ot again and again and on a more larger scale.
City will continue to roll over the EPL🩵🩵🩵
We've all lived for decades within a capitalist system in which dishonesty and unethical behaviour are competitive advantages. And everyone's acting outraged that rich people have bent the rules? Your righteous indignation offends me. It is disingenuous at best. Blatant hypocrisy would be closer to the mark. The uber-wealthy don't do accountability. Twas ever thus.
Thanks Shacka, yes they have been found guilty!
It's like A rich man's kid trying to flex around with his dad's money while the only money he gets is his pocket money 😅
It's going to be a £300M fine with no relegation or docked points if it gets to the real court...if they're not acquitted. HRM's court will decide and there will a lot of pressure from the UAE based on trade, banking and investment in Manchester and the UK economy as a whole
So man city account in formation cause epl to be a farmers league !? LOOOL cry more morons
What do you mean if they are found guilty? They have been found guilty, it took years to get that verdict and about 100 million in lawyer fees. They are guilty
There should be a no "Statute of limitations" when it comes to crimes like these, football is the biggest driver in the UK, and to have some wealthy people just come over and destabilise it, disrupt it, is a no no, they need to be punished to the full extent of the law.
why are we excusing the players? That smug look on Rodri face says it all. The players and their agents were being paid under the table also. They’re not innocent.
Peps Barcelona still under investigation for illegal payments to Spanish referees technical association
Nedum is my guy man😂😂😂
A culturally appropriate punishment is chop off 114 owners fingers
Along as they put 11 men on the field I'm fine with it.
Can you imagine if these were African Owners, Lord have mercy, the racism we would be witnessing would be like none before. People will be asking for arrests to be made, kick them out the league, out the country, racist protests, media would be bashing them 24/7!
No one is talking how was this allowed for this long. FA, Premier league board all are equally guilty. English bureaucracy are equally involved in taking money from Russian oligarchs or oil billionaires and letting this go unchecked for this long. By the way I am a city fan. Yes the system is tainted and whole lot of dealings must have happened but you cannot take away the brilliancy of player who proved in the playground.
** 1 charge (Nedum's) thrown out **<br>Nedum's Lawyer: "My client didn't know what was going on, he was just given a white envelope (not brown) over the table (not under), with some digits on the front which he thought was a phone number until he later on saw the blank cheque inside"
Should we be relegated etc the asterix should be applied to the teams who then win in our place.
I am letting everyone know that I am in the process of drafting an elaborated apology letter on behalf of the City club to our fans, the club, the league and all the teams and will be out as soon as the hierarchy approves it, in the mean time nothing has changed.
Half of those group of players shouldn’t have been there
There is a precedent. Everton and forest. Immediate punishment pending appeal. And id argue forest and everton werent really cheating, not anything compared to city. The city punishment surely is 100× more... so 600 points? 60 a year for a decade
The players obviously won those titles. The problem is that the squad shouldn’t have existed.
As a man city die hard fans, everyone is so hare to man city,this is make me happy,MAN CITY WILL NEVER GET PUNISHMENT,ALL OF YOU IS DELUDED HALLUCINATION AND FULL OF HATE,CITY NOT SETTING THE SCORE OR PAY THE REFFERE LIKE JUVENTUS,WE NEVER RELEGATED KEEP DREAMING..
I didn't now paying players good money for performances and achievements is cheating 😮
Make Pep manage Tottenham; that would be fair punishment.
They tried to put asterisk on Arsenal for relying on corners.<br>Chelcheats and Man Cheaty should always have the asterisk for being the creater club they are.
If they are found guilty? They have been found Guilty 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️.. they can appeal their guilty verdict but it already happened
Yeah Nedum ... but you guys were fraudulently assembled ...
Sorry Rodri ... it will be stripped ..
Man Utd will have 3 extra titles ... <br>Liverpool will have 2 extra titles ... <br>I think Arsenal 2 titles ...
I guarantee you but I don't know what the reason is. 😂
Asterisk means nothing. Just take those trophies away
Next match:liverpool vs Man 114charges , anfield 🔥🤣
Thinking current or former players have anything close to an objective view. In the same vane to Rodri's comments - Lance Armstrong "earnt it on the bike" - he beat everyone on the road - but he still cheated (at a scale never seen before) and so every tour he won was tainted and nullified.
Disappointing comments from Nedum. He avoided speaking the truth about what city did. You lost my respect.
Nothing is going to happen. You all haters 😂<br><br>City will prevail 🩵
Lol under the table, on the table and big suitcase 🤣 😂
Why are we all acting like soccer isn't Pay to Win anyways lmao
Mancheater city or Man cheaty
Ban city then ban this pleb Nedum too 😂
Did that spanish idiots manager not manage him before he defended industrial cheating. Rodri is scum 😂😂 the foundations where built of cheats 😂
😂😂😂 full of bitterness for Man city. These clearly shows the envy and jealousy. Since they struggle to beat City on the field to win trophies, these so allegations on City is opportunity for them to bash City. The hypocrisy of football fans and pundits, tell me which club in England or Europe don’t have integrity issues behind closed doors? for sure most of these so called traditional football clubs or big clubs have been doing dubious things behind closed doors, not being caught doesn’t mean they are clean. He who calls for equity must come with clean hangs. Also those calling Pep should bow down in shape clearly showing their hate for Pep. What does this got to do with Pep? Something happened before Pep arrived, why involving in this saga ? no one can take away the great work Pep did on field to transform City brought City glories. If The FA truly have strong grounds to take punishment City why all these hullabaloos and brouhaha ? why don’t they just go and penalise City? 😂😂😂
the whole problem is that owners of city felt they can be invincible cuz they are rich but suprise -civilized world has rules even for rich ones. justice is slow but its coming.
Stripping of all titles, expulsion from league for 114 years. In 2009 their valuation was 175 million now its 5 billion. They have to be fined the difference amount. This has to be bare minimum.
Stop the cap, Nedum.
Remember how Rangers in the SPL were treated for financial shenanigans? Not cheating(?) as such but incompetence as well. Man city should be dissolved/sold, the management sacked, they should be demoted to League 2, Transfer bans, Banned from all European competitions as of right now. Leave the trophies won but now with an asterisk. Say to Abu Dhabi the ownership is over no recompense.
City delayed for 5yrs for not working with FA and Prem that's why!!!
Chelsea breathing heavily😂😂<br>No way we're cheating right
“Biggest oil stain on English football “ aka Man cheaty
UAE a smugglers heaven second to Shanghai.
Man cheaty need to made an example for the better of the game.they still cheating stealing and denying they ever cooked the books moving like real criminals the man diddy baby oil fans don’t know better they are still being lied to
Mansoor using city as a Washing Machine Money Laundering .
If its the same as Lance Armstrong.. everyone else is doing it too
Rodri still thinks if my ex club is relegated from the trophy, i still have my ballon d'or 😂😂
Biased
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpNTBDzIc9I&t=751">12:31</a> finally someone with enough sense says this!!!...you people need to understand that Man City have already been found GUILTY!!!...THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PUNISHMENT TO BE ANNOUNCED AND WILL TRY TO APPEAL IT!!!...the independent body handling this case has already found irrefutable evidence of financial doping that prove Man City's guilt...do you guys even know what an appeals process is?! They are going to have to go to the court of appeals and bring substantial evidence of them doing nothing wrong (evidence which was not brought forth already) to try and over turn this decision!! I can see if they were found GUILTY of 1, 3, 10, or even 30 charges but they were FOUND GUILTY OF 114 OUT OF 115 CHARGES!!! There's no way an independent body made such a massive error and wrongfully deemed them guilty...city will not walk away from this Scott free!!!
Well....to be fair....Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea etc shouldn't have had as much problem with the rules because the rules allowed them to spend way more than anyone else. I think it's Newcastle, Villa, Tottenham to a lesser extent are the ones who really should feel cheated
Manchester is INDEEED still red lol 🤣🤣🤣<br><br>Shame on your club Oasis 🤭🤭
Rodri , Rodri...my boy..not bought with money. Your club are cheats and you gotta accept tour clubbwas only able to buy players with scam money. Your club cheated.
Im sorry Rodri but City quite literally won BECAUSE of their dirty money schemes.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpNTBDzIc9I&t=200">3:20</a> They just DON'T grasp the fact that they wouldn't have had certain key players to win all those honours if they weren't committing fraud, false accounting and money laundering which is exactly what they were doing. HMRC also need to get involved because clearly the figures submitted for tax purposes were materially inaccurate, that is something HMRC could legitimately examine independently of the Premier League process.
