I don’t get how people would be satisfied with a singular points deduction? If found guilty, the trophies and income from other clubs they’ve robbed over the years should be reimbursed. There’s no bigger demotivator to comply with FFP rules if the punishment is essentially to have one season where you don’t win the league.

Final verdict being a strongly worded letter asking them not to do it again

Automatic relegation to League Two, stripped of all titles, and Pep is digital replaced in Ted Lasso with the force ghost of Shankly.

Ha! Good when you can “agree” your own trial date.

If found guilty

Not bad cheat your way to titles and cups for 20 years. Take a little fine an couple points deducted for 1 year then back to normal.

They will absolutely get away with it, premier league ‘will do nuffin!’ Then we will all kick off protest and then nothing will change.

They should be stripped of titles and relegated 2 leagues as minimum for all the cheating, bribing and back room dealing they have been doing.

Football has no integrety anymore.

Not a loaded headline whatsoever

Point deduction??? They need to be fucking expelled from the PL and have their titles stripped away!

Cheaters, can’t wait. Shame we have to wait so long.

ooof so they do have the evidence right if they are going to court? this is big i think. but they will prolly be swatted away by Man City’s all stars lawyer lolll.

So Pep will finally be gone after next season at least

11 points

Eli5: why does Premier League need to agree with an accused party over an trial date?

The eyes of the footballing world will be on this. The Premier League better not fuck this up and effectively legitimise financial doping after FFP rules were introduced.

Disgusting club, hope they get titles get stripped from them and sent a few leagues down.
