Yah surprised to see this didn’t generate more buzz on the fedi, but yah trophies and titles should be stripped and hefty fines applied. Bonus points if the funds go directly to youth football groups. Don’t think City is going to find much sympathy on this verdict lol.

    This is a great idea. Transmute their dirty money into something bc that helps the game me at the most finance break level. The right kind of money laundering.

    Failing that, divvy it out to the clubs who were relegated from the PL directly because of results against Man Cheaty. You got relegated by 2 points and you lost to City while your relegation rival got a result? Here's £15m as a small measure of compensation. But this shouldn't prohibit law suits.

    Yah it’s the wild west right now on what transpires from this verdict…do clubs sue, do leagues sue, does uefa get involved now as they were champions league title holders for a year. I honestly have no idea where this all goes. But as I mentioned before I really hope the youth clubs benefit from this…would go a long way of showing some grace and good will, but the opposite is likely to happen since this is City we are talking about lol
