Thank FUCK that the Saudis own Newcastle, then.Nothing will happen. The Saudis own this country. Too many hands in the cookie jar. Money talks. Slap on the wrist at best.

Over estimating them a bit. They can easily be replaced by Newcastle in the PL ecosystem. Hell, Spurs is a bigger brand than City despite all their bollocks.They absolutely will not be relegated. Too big of a brand. The PL isn’t stupid
They can, in a UK court of law, not s a sporting arbitration body like CAS.I also heard they cannot appeal this.
The Shadow contract stuff is going to be real interesting to follow.They absolutely will not be relegated. Too big of a brand. The PL isn’t stupid
They can appeal iN the UK law courts but the problem they have is they already have a high court decision relating to the investigation remaining secret against them. Also apparently judges comments previously are not very kind when commenting on the case.I also heard they cannot appeal this.
If they do the game changes..its then on them to prove there innocence ..its not c.a.s ...its criminal lawUnfortunately they can just appeal to the uk courts lol.
Sorry for the disappointment.
Personally I think they will be relegated, brand or not, they have over 100 charges against them.They absolutely will not be relegated. Too big of a brand. The PL isn’t stupid
The thing is other English clubs have done this. The Chelsea fans lauded Kante for not being paid off shore not realising it was removing financial transparency from the situation.The Shadow contract stuff is going to be real interesting to follow.
Because if those can be proved it is also most likely that they haven't paid taxes on those salaries.
It's a big old fucking mess and I am here for it.
If that is the case then I assume it wouldn't be done this season. The process would take monthsThey can, in a UK court of law, not s a sporting arbitration body like CAS.
My guess is that they will be banned from the CL and get a points deduction. And then that team in 5th is sitting pretty.Personally I think they will be relegated, brand or not, they have over 100 charges against them.
That can only mean a massive point deduction or straight relegation and maybe not just one league
Not to mention their idea of a wrist slap involves removing everything below the wrist...Thank FUCK that the Saudis own Newcastle, then.
Good point. Maybe they should just ban nation state funds from owning football clubs.Shouldn't the PL also reassess the owners of Man City with their 'fit-and-proper person test?
