Tottenham hotspurs , aka Arsenals lapdog. Useless team only exists to muck things up and do bottle jobs.

Fair play to them, good to see some other champion than Pool or City. Competitors suffered, they stepped up, that's the beauty of the sport and after years of being comedy of club they will surely enjoy it. Yet the season is not over yet.

I'd me more concerned with what we are (not) doing, than being upset with how others play tbh

I don't mind other clubs winning, but I'm not going to pretend to take joy in Arsenal or Spurs winning. These clubs and their fans have constantly thumbed their noses at Chelsea in the past and mock its achievements. 

And to the contrary., I'm not bothered too much by Chelsea having a poor season.

We are really a spoiled bunch as Chelsea fans. How many other clubs can spend their way back to a decent position? Chelsea has gone through boom and bust before, and usually comes back in a position of strength.

Manchester City to face Premier League EXPULSION or points deduction as they are charged with breaking financial rules over 100 TIMES on sponsorship deals, secret contracts and payments

 

It's taken 4 years! Does that mean they lose their titles and cups ?

Does that mean Chelsea are still in the FA Cup?

[Laylabelle 9,408]

Point deduction make more sense cause if go down into three Championship no doubt be back up and that's taking another teams spot..

Guess if lose titles Liverpool gain a lot...

[YorkshireBlue 3,149]

'The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.

that basically says we are looking forward to paying some one millions to make this disappear

If an athlete is caught doping years after them winning a world or Olympic title then they are punished/banned moving forward. Also they are stripped of titles and silver medalists get the gold retrospectively. Citeh should not keep any trophy they've won. Cheats!

But please dont investigate us....😱

Man City facing punishment after more than 100 breaches of Premier League's financial rules

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/02/06/manchester-city-charged-premier-league-breaches-ffp-rules/

Manchester City are facing the threat of top flight expulsion after being charged by the Premier League with more than 100 alleged breaches of financial regulations.

 

In what is potentially one of the biggest scandals in English football history, the Premier League champions were on Monday hit by a catalogue of charges covering 14 seasons from 2009/10 to the current campaign.

 

The bombshell revelations follow a four-year investigation by the Premier League into City’s practices and, if the charges are proven, the club could face an unprecedented range of punishments including points deductions, sweeping fines and the ultimate sanction of expulsion from the league.

 

An independent disciplinary committee – which seems likely to be to be chaired by Murray Rosen KC – will hear the charges. The hearings will be held in private but no timescale has been set.

 

In a statement released on Monday morning, the Premier League said: “The Premier League confirms that it has today referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club to a commission.”

 

City expressed “surprise” at the Premier League’s move and said it would welcome the commission’s hearing as a chance to put allegations of financial impropriety that have dogged the club for years “to rest once and for all”.

 

“Manchester City is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with,” the club said in a statement.

 

“The club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.

 

“As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.”

 

The reigning Premier League champions, who have won six titles since the Abu Dhabi-led takeover of 2008, have also been charged with failing to co-operate with the investigation, which has been carried out by an independent commission.

 

Those charges specifically apply to the period between 2018/19 and the current campaign.

 

City have also been charged by the Premier League over its alleged breach of Uefa regulations, having been found to have fallen foul of Club Licensing and FFP regulation in Europe.

 

Premier League rule W.51 covers the sanctioning powers of a commission where an alleged breach or breaches are found proven.

 

These range from a reprimand, from the deduction of points up to a recommendation to the league to expel a club from the competition.

 

The commission has the power to make such sanctions conditional on defined actions being taken within a fixed time period, and respondents have a right of appeal.

The chair of the independent Premier League judicial panel is Murray Rosen KC, who was appointed in 2020.

 

He will now select individuals to sit alongside him on a commission to consider the alleged rule breaches. The panel also has access to consult other independent financial and legal experts.

 

“The members of the Commission will be appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel,” the Premier League said in a statement.

 

“The proceedings before the Commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private. Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission's final award will be published on the Premier League's website.

 

“This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1. The Premier League will be making no further comment in respect of this matter until further notice.”

Wonder if we're still in the FA Cup then....or whether they lose all their cups and titles... 

Rhetorical

[Gundalf 804]

Nothing will happen. They will be fined a lot, which ofc is no problem for them and maybe a few points deduction, thats it.
