It's an interesting one because if they were expelled and not relegated, I believe the EFL don't actually have to accept them into their league, plus the matter of which league would they go in, nobody in those leagues is going to give up their place. Really they should go to the bottom of the pyramid and start again like Bury did. That won't happen of course.
If they were relegated by a points deduction then they would go down to the Championship, but that's hardly a punishment is it because they'll come straight back up. Unless of course they got a certain points deduction for each of the seasons they were found guilty, so for example the next 10 Premier League seasons they compete in they get a points penalty each season.
My main takeaway from this is surely the owners have to be made to sell the club. How can they possibly be classed as fit and proper owners after this? Are you telling me this actually stopped in 2018 and hasn't still continued? Plus they already had the 2 million wages thing with Mancini for his '4 days coaching' that nobody can ever find happened plus he was paid it by Man City.
The 51% rule is a great thing that I wish we had here.
That's probably because of the 'new' breed of Premier League fans who don't get what supporting your club means. These phone-ins and podcasts and talksports shows with the hysterical fans because their team isn't in the top four and what a crisis it is, is just ridiculous. My team (Portsmouth) are in the championship and it's really a weird feeling because I honestly don't think I want to get back in the Premier League (not that's it's likely at the moment anyway, we're more likely to go the other way
) but it's a strange one because of course every fan starts the season hoping this is the year you win the league.
