Roman Abramovich is accused of paying people under the table. Man City have 115 charges.
Under Abramovich Chelsea have won - 5 League titles, 2 UCLs, 2 Europa Leagues, 5 FA Cups, 3 energy drink Cups, 2 supercups,
Under Sheikh Mansour Man City have won - 7 league titles, 1 UCL, 3 FA Cups 6 energy drink cups, 1 super cup.
Lets say hypothetically the EPL manage to prove it happened. And the points deduction is something that even Man City cannot recover from Eg. 90+ points deducted.
Would you be willing to accept a relegation to the championship for the above memories?
Eg. you saw your club win those things and have the memories of watching it?
Are there any wage limits or anything in the Championship?
We can just loan out all of our good players
There are sustainability rules, you can only spend a set amount more than you bring in. With PL revenue gone, City/Chelsea would need to sustain their sponsorship and ticket revenue in order to afford their wages etc. It’s done on a three year rolling calculation so they’d be ok if they came right back up but if somehow they shat the bed and didn’t, it could get interesting for them. Although if they didn’t come straight back up they’d then qualify for parachute payments, ridiculously enough.
There are FFP rules. Similar but lower amounts than the prem.
Without TV and European money city would have to sell near every player to not breach it.
