Their owners must be made to sell the club, at a minimum imo. Irreversible damage to the reputation of the PL. And the money side of the game has always been off putting anyway

We are past just a points deduction and fine, I think. Even if the PL do something as weak and pathetic as that (which I doubt, because they have to preserve the league somehow.. the eyes of the world are watching), every other club will sue city into oblivion. The precedent there is already set by Burnley & Everton. We are in uncharted waters here.

Nowhere near severe enough for me. They’ve changed football for the worse for more than a decade

They have to go hard here imo. The world is watching. The president of La Liga just said he hopes they push for the most severe punishment available as it has impacted the whole of Europe and the world

No chance.. I don’t think they can get out of this one. The report is absolutely damning. Literally calls them “dishonest” Apparently there are more breaches after this too, city just haven’t been forthcoming with the investigation. They’ll likely be charged all the way up to this season.

I wonder if any players should be punished too? Eg if haaland had his wages inflated, him and his agent are guilty of fraud too. Surely they should be banned/punished as well?

From what I’ve read, there are significant differences between the previous cases and here. They got out before on some technicalities, but they were guilty then and bang to rights here. Im still struggling to think of an appropriate punishment. Honestly if they get wound up and have to start again, I don’t think that’s too far. The scale of it is mad.

There’s no punishment big enough. I checked with AI and a rough estimate of Southampton’s entire transfer spending is £850-950million. So although that’s a really rough ballpark figure, the magnitude of the crime is just insane.

£900million of fraud!!!!! More than most clubs have spent on transfers in their history This is soooo bad. Literally ruined football for like a decade. Holy shit.

Move to an area that I can afford the rent?

Starship just did something no previous flight has ever done: Reached Earth orbit, deployed 26 next-gen Starlink V3 satellites, then executed a controlled deorbit and splashdown. You’re being facetious and smarmy, but it’s actually another huge step forward, so you’re making yourself look a bit silly

They genuinely can’t think more than one step ahead. It’s wild. Advocating for rent caps etc, despite history proving over and over again that they make things worse. Then instead of actually trying to understand how markets work, they throw insults 😂

Commy nonsense. No surprise from the current Spanish regime tbf

This post is going to make me laugh for many, many years to come

Lol. It’s what the left always do when the facts overrule their feelings. Ignore all debate and start hurling insults. The article is a perfect example. Libs out on the streets crying. Meanwhile the landlords & hedge funds will keep winning. Sad part is, they’re out there whinging instead of helping themselves by working hard and contributing to a society. They’d rather waste their time being emotional out in the streets. Sad.
