This is the real biggie for me. Every time someone mentions it I feel like I'm going to kill someone.
And I'm not kidding either.

I think the main thing that came out of today is some lawyers on twitter inc. @projectriver looked at the fine print and seem to have decided that there's almost zero chance this goes to the high court for appeal. It's the independent panel that will decide the case.

The more I think of it.. the more I think relegation would be off the cards (and stripping titles)

City has Pep and Haaland, two of the biggest stars and attractions in world football, playing in the Premier League. City has rivalries with United and Liverpool, big for TV deals views.
TV companies paying for the Premier League product wont be happy losing City, Haaland et al.

City owners have pumped millions into the UK economy, the UK Government wont take kindly to them being fucked over.

Stripping titles leaves open the chance for lawsuits from clubs who were relegated or missed out on money from previous wins/champions league.

£100 M Fine, 15 points deduction and 2 Transfer window bans (after Summer). I think most would accept that?

You having a laugh?

They can fuck off with any punishment, as Khaldoon said about the first UEFA punishment "we took a pinch"

I just can’t see them stripping us of our titles, even if they did find us guilty (and that’s a very big if at the moment). It would too messy, complicated and excessive.

Fingers crossed we have, I'd of thought we'd of leaked alot of things regarding other clubs after the uefa case especially at the hateful 8, so I don't think we have much on them personally.

Do you play poker? Its always best to keep your cards as close to your vest as possible until the last moment...never show your hand...

Yeah that was me! Cheers! Did all that off the back of no sleep too haha. Four month old baby teething and sleep regression was a good prep for Carragher and co though admittedly :)

We’re not getting our titles taken off us.

I find your confidence reassuring Ric and I sincerely hope you're right!

Martin Samuel also went some way to allay those concerns. Points deductions, transfer bans and fines only damage City, but stripping us of titles damages the entire Premier League brand worldwide. As much as they probably didn't like the outcome, the Aguero moment is arguably the single most iconic moment in the entire history of the competition. Also, it sends out a pretty poor message to the rest of the football world that it's taken them so long to catch up with events from over a decade ago.

Should also be questioned – how does he know the PL have a stronger case? Has he seen the case against us? Would be damning if so!

Exactly...A jerk off who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut...

Carragher simply hasn't read the details. I'm not sure he's read the Der Spiegel report. I'm not convinced, deep down, he understand the accusations. I don't think he read and/or understood the CAS report, or what the time barred really meant.

Obviously - obviously - City have taken advantage of their links with commercial partners attached to the club. Like United, like Leicester, like Bayern, like Stoke, like Juventus like [insert a dozen other football clubs]. But obviously those links are mutually beneficial for those sponsors. But City are the most successful club in England over the last decade, are on TV more regularly than anyone, and have exploited emerging commercial markets in creative ways as you would expect directors who are at the cutting edge of European football. Txiki Begiristain proposed all this at Barcelona, and the dinosaurs there saw him off for it, so he took the template and brought it to rainy Manchester cos he'd figured out business plans and football plans that the rest of European football are now trying to copy. Carragher still seems to think that Real Madrid should be top of the table because they sell more shirts and have more Facebook followers. Well, if Spurs made £442.8m, having not won a trophy in a decade while in the UEFA conference league, why shouldn't City have made £619.1m winning the league and getting to the semi finals of the CL? That sounds about right to me.

Carragher is going have to sneak in to the stadium & watch his back next time he's at the ground for sky lol!

The Premier league has failed it own ‘owners charter’
I agree with City hierarchy. We need to be regulated by an independent governing body.

As fans, I also think we should vocally push for the government to step in and take control

I have no confidence in the PL running our game on our behalf.
They have consistently let every football fan down.

Parliament is the last place I would ask to help save our game. But in this instance, it’s the only place to go.

If we can get a partition with enough signatures, we can put our case.
