    Point deduction is hilarious, their league titles should be rescinded. Where’s the integrity of the competition for those seasons?

    Let’s see:

    In 2045, City will be in the National League North; Man U will be in the Championship; Chelsea will be in League 1, and Everton will be in League 2.

    I’ll take the points deduction if it means City get blasted back to the Stone Age

    Ummm, there was an investigation via Cyprus Confidential but I haven’t heard a thing from any regulatory body. Awful state of this article aside, how are they facing a points deduction when there’s been no charge or even an investigation at this point? If something comes out of this it’s going to be a long while before anything happens.

    Just a point won’t do anything. Why not impose 2 season ban on transfers… Only allow Academy kids to replace ppl who left for free or injured. This would benefit home grown and the clubs in the long run.

    Or it could be that they backchanneled the money required to pay Hazard’s agent, through these holding companies, so that a) they could avoid paying any tax on it and b) they wouldn’t have to declare it to football’s governing bodies

    Hey, this is awfully familiar.

    What’s the point of a deduction now for historical offences under previous ownership? Shouldn’t the trophies they won in the time period be vacated?

      I’m always amused by the fact that people think practically all PL clubs can’t afford the best lawyers in existence

    One of many, many, many revelations from this

    Was he trying to hit a word count or something? Truly an awfully written article
