Not to take anything away from Larin but his assist consisted of missing an absolute sitter which he kicked straight at the keeper when it was easier to score, the ball came back and rebounded off Larin into the path of the scorer who tapped it in.

He plays 5 at the back so it's a no from me.

For the 9 year time period this was happening City were effectively cheating against every team they played so all their points should be deducted and awarded to their opponents.

If City are relegated to the bottom tier of the EFL surely their owners will be looking to sell the club as it will hold no attraction or benefit to them. City will have to sell all their main players and will be playing in front of small crowds even at home with little tv money or sponsorship deals. Also shouldn't we expect court cases for individuals over the massive fraud for false accounting plus it's also alleged they paid players and managers more than declared to HMRC. This is either going to blow up massively or be swept under the carpet - my bet is on the latter to protect the Premier League because City are their biggest cash cow. Interesting times ahead.

Another good reason Frank might want to come here.

They'll be strong but if anyone thinks a single one of their first team squad will stay in those circumstances they are living in cloud cuckoo land. There will be a mass exodus and a major rebuild of their squad.

Well the EFL set the bar high with us so they need to go really big to beat that. This is their chance.

Surely it goes deeper than just the 2 matches we played against them that season. Every game they played they'd cheated. On that basis they should be reduced to zero points in every game for seasons these charges apply to.

Yeah plus they sold Bazunu to us claiming he was a goalkeeper.

Should be treated the same as Rangers were in Scotland but it'll be too damaging to the brand.

As Cloughie would say, 'Collect up all your medals and chuck them in the bin cos you won them by cheating'

Simon Jordan has said it will be interesting to see what City get as punishment compared to us so he feels it has relevance. I get that its two different organisations but I'm sure comparisons will be made and rightly so imo.

Gibbo.

Shearer says, if found guilty, City will be given an asterisk next to their name. So we should have been in the Play-Off Final against Hull but with an asterisk next to our name. I'd have taken that.

This is the harsh reality but I think it actually puts the FA in quite a delicate situation. Can they afford to give Tonda a lengthy ban at the exact moment City have been hit with this?
