Good Always thought they were dodgy.
They will find ways to wriggle round it and any sentence will be suspended or they get a fine that means nothing to multi billionaires
Just because they have won 17 trophies since their takeover doesn't make them dodgy 🙄. I am sure once the independent commission have ....taken their commission.. then Man City will likely have very little to answer to and the Premier League will have little or no action to take...maybe even end up handing them a 10 point head start next season by way of apology.

And here is the team that will be forming the investigation committee

There’s absolutely zero way City will face any actual repercussions from this. A suspended sentence at best.
They’ve clearly upset someone at the premier league though, hence why they’ve brought the charges but when you’re owned by an obscenely wealthy country I don’t think city will need to worry about the legal fees and representation.
Sadly, I don’t think they’ll be the only one…

One of the sanctions, if found guilty, is relegation, relegation to where, wh6 should the EFL accept them, send them all the way to the Manchester Sunday league.

Why have rules if you're not going to get punished for breaking them? Sadly, that what i think will happen though.

Hopefully this will be a Glasgow Rangers punishment scenario and not a football version of Saracens. Relegated into a league they were always going to pi$$ in one season but farcically allowed to stay in European Cup.
My favourite bit about the Saracens debacle was that the first charges were for older seasons, and they claimed to be doing no wrong since.....so then they were given an ultimatum of open your books for last season and this so we can assess them or accept relegation they just took the relegation option and kept the books out the spotlight! Obviously did a Juve and overturned a points deficit to pi$$ the league below and go straight back up like you said, not exactly justice done but at least something happened

It all feels a bit 'we can regulate ourselves, honest mr government white paper, we don't need an independent regulator - look we're even charging Man City with things'

It's actually expulsion from the league, it's not a given the EFL would have to accept City into that level of the pyramid

The investigation has been ongoing for some time but I think the timing of the announcement tells a lot. To me, it's like the PL are punching down that they don't need regulating and can regulate themselves.
In terms of City, they will probably get a fine that isn't really a punishment to their owners and may get a transfer embargo for a window or 2, which again, isn't really a punishment when they've got the players that they have.
