They should be relegated, but I don't think the EFL are obliged to accept their membership. Why the gently caress should one of their 72 member clubs suffer so cheats can be conveniently re-housed?

Their application to re-join a league can start at the National League and go down from there if necessary.

Bigger clubs than Manchester City have been punted out of their top divisions before, so I hope this is legitimate and that the necessary spines hold up. They can resume their 90's rivalry with Macclesfield Town in the North West Counties league.

Maine Road FC vs Manchester City FC in NWCFL Div One South, loser keeps the Gallagher brothers

the elites won't tell you this, but you can just write down that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won the league and Tony Pulis won the FA Cup and nobody from City can stop you

Recreating that Adebayor goal against Arsenal but in reverse.

if you wanted to see Adebayor going backwards quickly, just give him a contract with more than a year left on it

According to the Independent, retroactive title-stripping is not likely to be a thing, but relegation may be:

Now we know why he was so mad about not receiving his """birthday cake"""

I literally had this moment of wide-eyed realisation earlier during a boring work conversation

if it actually turns out that Yaya Toure's agent released a story to the press where "birthday cake" was a euphemism for "illegal bung" it's going in ahead of Dave Whelan's Well-Judged Press Conference as the funniest football thing that ever happened

Manchester City should be eternally imprisoned in League One like a special ironic cell they build for a Batman villain

can't go up, can't go down, just showing up in Shrewsbury once a year with a banner that says they're not really there and a big flask of bovril that they have to sneak in

as a warning to other clubs

I was remembering the dude who refereed the Italy vs South Korea game at the recent world cup which happened 21 years ago

Apparently he didn't get fired immediately after that game like I thought, but he did later take up a job as a professional heroin smuggler

It's also the easiest thing in the world to game accumulation suspensions. A card away from a suspension and you've got a L1 team in the Carabao on Wednesday and City on Saturday? Guess who's getting a card today.

I'm remembering Iker Casillas deliberately getting a yellow to take a suspension on a dead rubber CL game by just running up to a goal kick and then stopping until he got carded

you could honestly just play all of the PL games on a Satuday evening / Sunday, to give people the opportunity to watch as much lower-level garbage hack-and-kick ball as possible before going to a local game after the Everton livestream is finished

it works in Italy, and that's not something you hear often

Terrible idea for away fans who have to travel to the other end of the country, 3pm will stay forever.

All other European leagues have poo poo all money compared to the premier league, because their TV deals are real bad. So in some cases they’re desperate and willing to compromise the sport for €€€.

the elites don't want you to know this, but you can hire a minibus from a man in guildford, for money

I don't expect it to change at any point in the near future, but they easily could if there was a desire to, it's not an intractable facet of the universe that top-level games need to kick off at the same time as the national league north
