Hope we agree to let them keep their league cups so Harry Kane still doesn't have a trophy  ;D

League cups don't come under PL remit, so unlucky Harry I guess

Will they have to hand back their champions league titles?

They haven't won any, so that would be the least of their problems

I meant they simply will get away with it, just like they did with the case that went to CAS.
Too powerful, too much money. They could probably bankrupt the PL just with the legal stuff from their spare change and they know it.
TV and press are bought up, especially their transfer money has been big business for selling their rags and shows, as well as the EPL "brand".
I'd love it more than Kevin Keegan to see them taken too task but this is rotten, corrupt, morally bereft Britain, where anything is for sale so I have little hope.

I love the way people say stuff like this. I am guessing you were also saying nothing would actually happen at all weren't you? Yet despite City's lawyers playing every trick in the book they are today facing 101 charges. Also, the world will be on this case there is no way the PL can afford to do anything other than seriously punish them should they be found guilty. Think of the teams who lost the chance to play in Europe, the sponsors cheated out of their own revenue. This is way to big for a mere slap on the wrist.

Imagine all the (many) lower league teams they have cheated out of reaching the next round of cup competitions 😉

Well, if Man City are found guilty by the PL, I doubt that the FA can avoid punishing them either, meaning all of their FA Cup results also beeing annulled, and all the respective clubs being eligible for demages compensation ...

If the emails were obtained illegally how can they be admissable as evidence? They will get off we all know it.
The key will be that is only a small piece of the evidence, they will have to open all of their books, especially if they want to appeal etc. The Mancini payments are a smoking gun and it probably doesn't need to meet the criminal criteria for a conviction.

In the end the other 19 (18) clubs can still vote to kick them out.

The Premier League has been investigating Man City for the past 4 years. Much to our frustration, we've all been wondering what they're been playing at and if they'll ever do anything. Well, now we have the answer. It seems they've been taking their time building a strong case against City. I'm not sure Man City is going to be able to wiggle themselves out of it this time.

Maybe what will be most important is not who City can bribe at the hearings, it'll be which clubs they can buy off. They need 6 mates and it'll be the ones who want to cut off their nose to spite their face (Everton) or have little skin in the game (Bournemouth)

I'm surprised. I mean, they absolutely should be and suffer points deductions for all those years and be stripped of everything they've won since 2008 but I doubt anything close to that'll happen. At best, I'd guess it's probably going to be a fine- IF they're found guilty and that's a big IF, given they can afford the best lawyers. I hate being cynical about it all and wish it weren't so but I just can't see it happening. Saying that, I didn't see the Premier League even charging them so there's some  hope to cling into.

Seems the reluctance to strip titles is more down to protecting the brand and not deeming previous seasons a farce. Personally I think stripping titles is the only way to avert the farce.

Yep. Multiple years of No Title Awarded would be more of a farce. Stripping and re-awarding titles is a massive deterrent

I think giving the title to the 2nd place team opens up too many cans of worms for the PL in regards to the 5th and 6th place teams, so I can see the PL leaving the space vacant, if they go so far as to strip City of the titles. But I would love to see a retroactive winner announced, if only for Steven Gerrard. I think a PL trophy would go a long way to banishing the slip for him. It's not just about the fans, it's about all the players and staff who deserve this, who put in the hard work only to be cheated out of their reward.

I have no idea how this will turn out, but if it's nothing more than a fine, the league is well and truly gone.
Oh, these sour times.
