The EPL media contracts will continue to pay out billions irregardless of punishments to a few top teams. That means more money for others. There are few Europeans teams that can compete financially with even a lower table EPL team. Secondly, irregardless of punishment City and Chelsea will eventually return to the EPL.

Loool nothing will happen

I’m not a Newcastle fan, but the hate they get is truly pathetic. Their mega rich owners have done nothing so far except make shrewd signings perfectly in line with the rules, while putting faith in a manager many people wrote off (for some reason) in Eddie Howe, and many of the pre-takeover players who were previously deemed not good enough for the Premier League. Honestly, I think there’s a huge amount of jealousy towards Newcastle from rival fans, and it’s embarrassing.

Yall are too hung up on newcastle, OP makes a valid point about the other teams and UEFA and completely getting disregarded. The EPL wont be a powerhouse league forever and if corruption comes seeping out, it will be a domino effect for the entire league and the last 10+ years

Honestly, what nonsense.

Clubs have screwed up their finances before plenty of times, the world keeps turning.

Yeah, might get messy for a couple of clubs - so? Couple of players might leave - so?

As I learned when my club imploded 20-odd years ago, everyone else very much just shrugs and gets on with it.

The PL will be seen by many as a corrupt league

It already is and this is the reason why nothing will happen. Remember that there was one team in the Calciopoli that miraculously just benefited from it despite there being strong evidence of having been involved in it.

Did you actually read this before posting???

Good thing Chelsea just signed a ton of players to 7 or 8 year contracts.

Bro said Guimaraes with Haaland and De Bruyne

If anything they’d join other PL clubs. People seem to forget just how rich the PL is compared to the rest of the world. Instead you’d see those players joining the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, or Villa.

A lot of Newcastle fans here, don’t mean to offend your club and I very much appreciate that they are not in the same ball league as City or Chelsea when it comes to financial irregularities, but just wanted to highlight a few things:

- You have had a net spend of £250M (only Chelsea have had larger net spend) since takeover. People often come back at this with we didn’t spend at all in Mike Ashley era, but your net spend there was £176M in his era (do appreciate it is much much lower than United, City, Chelsea etc, however it must be said that you had much lower revenue than these teams in this era.

- 3 of your sponsors (Sela, noon and Saudi Airline) are also owned by PIF/Saudi governemt. People always banged on about City’s dodgy sponsorship.

Just wanted to highlight again that these financial irregularities that I have just mentioned have not been proved as of writing, but just thought I would point it out to all Newcastle fans who were saying there was absolutely nothing wrong with financials at the club. Also wanted to say that these financial irregularities are nothing compared with the sort of stuff City and Chelsea are being accused of. Once again would like to say sorry to NUFC and its fans if I offended you or your club in any way.

Why was Liverpool and United tacked on at the end? What rules have Newcastle broken?

It feels like someone dared you to make a post mentioning as many teams as you can.

Why do you guys keep talking about Newcastle getting deductions? Do you know something I don’t?

I know you did say it ‘could’ but a lot of these are quite extreme hypotheticals.

Big players, from these clubs e.g. Haaland, De Bruyne, Guimaraes will leave and would likely join teams from abroad.

They could leave, some might stay, they could also stay within the country as they have their lives set up there.

• Likes of La Liga or Serie A chairman will be in UEFA’s ear about this, potentiall causing them to ban English Teams

Unlikely - UEFA need English teams as well. A whole ban wouldn’t happen.

The PL will be seen by many as a corrupt league like Serie A in mid 2000’s and will have a knock on affect in which players may choose to sign for clubs like AC Milan or Bayern Munich ahead of English teams like Man United or Liverpool

Maybe it would have it’s image damaged but players would still come to teams as they pay well. Players are always happy to play for the teams with big wages.

Honestly don’t think any of this would happen other than players leaving relegated clubs. Also Newcastle aren’t part of these discussions at all.

What did Newcastle do? Being owned by the Saudis is not a crime. (Although it ought not to have been allowed. But here we are.)

If Serie A can survive their very exciting money scandals with almost no long term damage, so can the PL.

Also, players go where the money is. There’s some mental calculus outside of money, but not that much. For every player who turns his nose up at the PL, there’s eleventy-three players who will gladly take their place.
