If they paid players and managers off the books then that's tax evasion.

Won the trophies fair and square? What a daft position to take

it's already proven guilty, pep.

"They won them cups square and fair" But they didn't though, did they! Don't know a single Liverpool fan that wants a secondhand title, just make them void!

"We won those trophies fair and square" 😂 I can give you 115 reasons why you didn't.

Fans and ex players acting like they didnt know. Do me a favour seriously

Ferran didn’t blink once for two and a half minutes in that statement video. They forgot to add blinking to the AI prompt. Farcical

I bet Noel Gallagher will look back in anger now 😂

Time to look at ownership rules that mirror the Bundesliga for all European leagues.

Just imagine the countless lives that were ruined. Manager careers. Player careers. Stolen titles and prize money.

He knows, thats why he left

Hilarious to me that city “have irrefutable evidence which will reverse the verdicts”

Why are they waiting till the appeal to present this evidence? Why not present it  years ago? Or when it went to the IC?

American cyclist Lance Armstrong was stripped of his ill-won triumphs in the Tour de France and the races were declared void. Man City should face the same consequences as a minimum.

Their rise from the old second division in the late 1990s to winning eight Premier League titles in the following 25 years never made sense at the time and now we know why.

Literally everyone knew they were cooking the books.  Some of those City fans are deluded (as they have always been)

innocent until proven guilty - they've now been proven GUILTY.

Expell them from the premier league

In reality, it’s not just the 114 cheats they committed during the investigated period of 2009–2018. The financial rewards Man Cheaty pocketed during those years continued to fund player purchases and subsequent titles long after 2018 - titles and trophies they may not have won without those 114 cheats.

Strip them of not only all titles and trophies they won from 2009-2018, but also everything they won after 2018, because those post-2018 Man Cheaty wins came from Man Cheaty teams funded by the reward money they previous pocketed by cheating. Everything they won, they won by cheating.

In addition to all the runner-ups in all those competitions, how about the teams that got relegated from the PL during those years - perhaps some of them would have stayed up if they hadn't lost games to a cheating team. What amount of financial impacts did those relegated teams suffer from?

The damage to the PL, CL, and world football therefore extended from 2009 all the way to 2026. That is 17 years of world football ruinned!  A permanent ban of these owners and this club from world football is not an overkill.

Imagine being in the City team right now. You have nothing to play for until the punishment happens. No one will recognize your achievements. Cause until the club is brought to justice, they are still just operating off of the benefits of their cheating.

1:13 "and that's not fair"... how is cheating by almost a billion pounds fair? How is it fair that they robbed other teams of titles, European qualifications, etc.?
How is it fair that Barcelona almost needed to go bankrupt over a contract for Messi because they would have lost him to City otherwise? We could extend that to infinity.
This is the biggest scandal in football history and the punishment can't be high enough.
