  1. Hopefully he stays down to earth because all the fame and attention can sometimes get in the way. He seems to have a good attitude.

  2. Points deduction is not enough. They need every title they won stripped. Otherwise the EPL will be seen as a laughing stock. Why support a team if you know there is cheating going on.

  3. These charges are based in sports rules but could go legal at some point. Hard to call at this point.

  4. I have no idea how Messi won that last award. Are they giving it to him for lifetime achievement or what?

  5. What is the obsession with people an Maguire. The whole team was horrible last year not just Maguire.

  6. Before every game and at end of every quarter there would be a five minute session of kneeling for social justice. Half time at games would have men dressed up as women dancing on a stage with their fist in the air for justice and showing of their new package.

  7. Mourinho being sacked will not even register on the scale at this point.

  8. The problem what is there to protest. Either a super league or the Champions league becoming a super league. In 2024 the Champions league is to become an actual league with two leagues of 10 teams with the top 8 then going through to a special competition afterwards. That will only suit the super clubs and make it easier for them to stay at the top.

  9. Do you believe in UFO's and lizard people.

  10. The EPL did not break away from British football it was still part of the system.

  11. He was the quiet professional.

  12. If Man Utd or Liverpool did this they would have the book thrown at them.

  13. Then you do not understand what is at play. The government has warned the EPL that they would face investigations unless they started to perform oversight. A lot of people are getting nervous about the sources of money that are floating about. The EPL has had their hand played in this one and they have no other choices. Other clubs like Utd are as well getting nervous as they are a publicly listed company and probably do not want anything like that in the league. The EPL has not gone public about this for the fun of it.

  14. Wise up.

  15. Absolutely not. He is EPL proven and will score goals no matter where he goes. His football is that of a 28 year old. He has high level natural fitness, speed and power but most importantly he is the highest level of professional. For the right team next season he could win them the Champions league. He score 24 goals last season 38 games for a terrible Man Utd and was better than prime age 25 year olds. Ronaldo is lucky in that he is genetically gifted and has the body of a 25 year old.

  16. That makes no sense at all. They own the clubs so it cannot happen. And for any fans to try and push the agenda will probably destroy their own clubs. If the fans are patient they may wait and the owners may sell down the line.

  17. It is only logical that clubs should be paying for managers. The most important thing at a club is a good manager.
    6
  18. It could be any of them to be honest. I think they do not understand without the fans they cannot have the games.
    6
  19. Absolute nonsense. Cheating is cheating is cheating. If those titles were won and they are found guilty they should be returned to the runner up of those competitions.

  20.  @andale_andale  No. The 2018 period is just that for the investigation not what happened after that period. The allegations of them not participating with the investigation is from the period of 2018 to 2023.

  21. No. Sky will not get behind this because they have spent billions developing the brand of the EPL. They simply could not risk there being another league where they would not be the sole central player. Sky will not back this.

  22. Same with Utd and Spurs.
    5
  23.  @theportugueselegend  All titles have to be stripped. Compensation for the clubs that lost out during that period and expulsion from the league as well.
    5
  24. The team finished runner up 2020-21 and in 6th position this season. Hardly championship quality is it?

  25. There is no comparison with the NBA. America is a country the size of the EU and it had not national league and it introduced it by using a franchise system that has worked for them. People keep comparing the Super league to it but there is no comparison.

  26. Utd were never in for Nunez as they need other positions sorted out first.
    4
  27. Crystal Palace are not Man Utd. They are the type of club that has airs and graces in their decision making. Sort of like when Leicester go promoted, won the EPL and then got relegated by the same manager who then got fired. The common sense thing to do would be to stick with the manager and allow him build again.

  28. CIty do not have a fan base so Arsenal cannot get to excited there.
    4
  29. All titles must be stripped for that period. Why have football rules that other clubs obey if City can come along and go we are special it does not apply.
    4
  30. We do not actually know what is going on. The Champions league is about to morph into a European super league.

  31. If he does that he will be seen as a man of substance from that point onwards. That squad will clear out as well and will not hang around. Their contracts will probably be null and void giving many the opportunity of large pay days as well.

  32. If he is good enough to be the interim manager then he is good enough to be the manager. If he can get the Ole team to the next level why then get a replacement?
    3
  33. Poch is a good attacking coach so that would not be an issue. Ten Hag is a perfect fit.
    3
  34. Ole did a job so people need to lay off him. There seems to be an occasion among certain fans with Ole and Harry Maguire.

  35.  @Onemoreday1623  Newcastle with a good 10 years of investment within the FFP rules would enable them to earn more money in the future. Developing the stadium, adapting an attractive form of football and just be honest would win them a lot of fans and building for the future.

  36. Part of the problem? What on earth does that even mean. Do you think the ex players are picking the team or making the signings?

  37. Clubs have to generate their own money and cannot use outside money for many reasons.
    3
  38.  @tonynogueira8900  They may have enough points to be deducted in certain seasons that would allow them to keep their titles. If Man Utd or Liverpool did this at those levels we all know what the outcome would be.

  39. Haaland only cost £51 million which is an absurd figure when you consider that other players were bought and sold for far more money. Something does not seem right with that transfer. Not for one moment suggesting that the player did anything but it does seem very suspicious. Jack Grealish cost twice as much as Haaland which makes no sense.

  40.  @GrahamWalters  Relegation is not enough. They need league expulsion and have to reapply for membership of the football association. That is what happened to Rangers and the same should apply to city. I would love to know if there are issues HMRC as well that are not being disclosed as a full audit may have to take place there as well. Remember when celebrities were dragged through the mud by the media because they used various taxation reduction schemes.

  41. Definitely not relegation. They should be booted from the league and forced to reapply to the English league and start at the very bottom. That is what happened to Rangers and they have far more political clout than Man City have.
    3
  42. Because it seem to keep happening with City hence why people are surprised. I thought after the last time they would learn their lesson. This time the charges maybe more intense.

  43.  @davidhoward5392  2 windows is not the problem. Doing it for several seasons and lying to investigators is a different matter.

  44. Maybe Arsenal can take their place.

  45. Miz You probably did not know who he was before the "INFLUENCERS" put him in your head. Otherwise he was probably just some foreign coach to you.

  46. City should get a 20 point deduction and Utd get a 20 point deduction. Everybody from FIFA to sunday league should gang up on this stunt. Without the fans they cannot really make it work.

  47. You can be sure there will be a documentary.

  48. Just to let you know people are talking about how this is about to destroy the game. Well that happened a few decades ago in the UK with the Premier league and also in Europe with the Champions league.

  49. Modric was an amazing player so not real arguments there. Messi winning it this time makes no sense.

  50.  @muhammadah6850  Ten Hag is now got the green light on all transfers. He only just started the job so they will have to be working from now on but there is no point rushing as it has to be done right. Those other transfers you see taking place have been negotiated over months not a few days.
