City fined over £2m by PL | Sanction agreed for 22 breaches relating to ko delays

There is. And a clock. They just don't listen. On a few of the team talks on the treble doc, they seem to wait for the buzzer to go before getting together in a circle for their last chat before they go out.

This definitely isn't a case of them being out to get us. It's us being a little bit too cocky

They even have a 2 minute on screen warning in Joe’s, for the re start

I don't remember this outrage when Liverpool were done

Hardly surprising as you didn't remember posting the same thing a few seconds earlier.

Fucking brilliant,

Manchester City v Chelsea, 115 seconds late.

Does this mean the early leavers can now leave on 78 minutes?

A club as well run as City are these days don’t make the same mistake 22 times.

They clearly don’t give a fuck about getting out bang on time, even though they must know they’re on the clock.

So finding it hard to give too much of a fuck myself either.

I’ve seen games where a team are on the field waiting for the opponents to appear, not seen any fines for any other teams

I think we should be get a cuckoo clock on our crest

City were fined 50k after an arsenal game in March 2023 and Liverpool were fined 75k after a Leicester game in Dec 2022.
One key reason is cited as television logistics.
I asked chatgpt.

But the Premier League statement cites our offences, which starts with our first offence being the home game against Palace in August 2022 through to our most recent offence being the home game against West Ham in May 2024, and nowhere in that list is there any mention of a game in March 2023 against Arsenal or anybody else (????)

So it looks like chatgpt isn't a very accurate resource mate.

It’s a pretty old manager’s trick to send a team out early after a shit first half as kind of way of making a point.

Could just as likely be that than the other team being late.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Is there a breakdown of the 22 games for which this applies published anywhere?

Are similar stats available for all other teams and are the rules around this in the public domain?

If this info was published and we were shown to be the only team to have transgressed more than 20 times then the fine can be seen as justified but if this info is not published it just looks like juvenile posturing from the PL.
