    The charges hanging over Manchester City are bringing the whole Premier League competition into disrepute. Each game they and each trophy they win feels unearned and false until the charges are resolved and we know whether they were achieved fairly or not, and if not, what punishment is deemed appropriate for cheating. Right now there is a stench about the whole thing. And given it looks odds on that Man City’s likely fraudulently assembled squad is about to come out on top yet again, the PL would be wise to act before yet another lap of dishonour takes place.

      They won’t get punished, they value the “best league in the world” branding too much. No way they’ll admit the team that’s dominating it is doing it by cheating

          They can’t claim to be the best league in the world if they admit City have been cheating, it’s embarrassing.

            It is, but then la liga is the only league that has a claim and they’re also in a huge mess right now. Italian league is improving a lot, but as of recently, it’s heights have yet to be close to the heights of the other top leagues. And the French and Bundesliga are on a decade straight of a single winner so nobody cares. Even during City’s dominance we’ve still had Liverpool win the league, Chelsea and Liverpool win the UCL.
