Outcome of Man City financial fair play decision?

According to recent reports, the outcome of the financial fair play charges against Man City are due any day soon.
They are charged with 115 irregularities between 2009 to 2018.
They maintain their innocence but if found guilty, any suggestions of what the penalty may be?

A fine would be a joke with all the money their rich owners have at their disposal.

A points deduction is more likely, but even that would have a limited effect unless it took them out of European football next season, or a big points deduction commencing the start of next season.

The biggest punishment may be to remove them from the premiership, effectively relegating them to a lower league to a similar degree as Rangers a few years ago. However, the circumstances of those charges were completely different.

Personally, I'd be surprised if the decision of all 115 charges are in Man City's favour, although I'm sure any negative outcome for the club will result in a long drawn out appeal by City's lawyers.

Any thoughts?

My thoughts are if I inherited 2billion pounds I should be free to spend it on what ever I choose. And if I choose to spend 95% on the city then that should be my choice regardless of the clubs revenue. As along as it’s all paid in full up front and not in loans or instalments.

Nothing should happen to them just because they have rich owners. It’s got to this point because of the stupid rules they put in place to protect select clubs.

You may well think they should be able to spend what they want, but the rules don't say that.

Thing is, it won't be over when the ruling is made. Whoever loses will make appeals and this will go on for a while longer.

Judging by their winter window, a 12-month transfer ban and 15~21 point deduction to make it look harsh when they are around Man u or Everton with no fear of relegation.

Case closed, no appeal, continue as normal next season

I suppose in that scenario, that would mean they would be excluded from Champions League football next season, along with its financial benefits, although they could still make the Europa league if they win the FA cup.

Not much of a punishment for 9 to 10 years of rule breaking.!

It's said that they can appeal so long that fa will have to drop the case for financial reasons? Afterall its the Premier League clubs money...115 charges will all have to be counted by appeal and considering there's several routes for appeals and considering length of time taken to get this far how long will several appeals take and the cost?

Back in the 70s AC Milan were demoted to their dungeon league for undertable payments I think. It would be awesome if that happens to Man C.

It would give the lower league teams a big financial boost, too!

Win for the lower leagues, win for football as an entity, win for justice versus cheats!

Slap on the wrist and a fine most likely.

Depends who they've managed to bribe.

Indeed Sven.

If Man C are found guilty and their punishment is a fine which is nothing to them then can you imagine what stick their fans will get at away games. The Jacks got the full 2 barrels from us but that will be nothing compares to what Noel Gallagher and friends will get.

I still aren’t sure what they actually have done?

I’m looking forward to the decision and the basis around it to see what they are doing differently to other teams?
