The damage they have done is immeasurable. The whole situation is a complete mess. They’ve robbed managers, players & fans of experiences and memories. Everyone ought to be seeking compensation. It's a damning day for English football. I Hope they rot away in non-league for good.

They should be forced to play in this new kit.

Manchester City charges: Premier League confirms club guilty of all charges related to financial rule breaches

The Premier League confirms that Emirates Marketing Project have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.

I. The owners and associated structure needs removing and banning. Criminal prosecution has to be on the cards.
II. Emirates Marketing Project need striping of everything they won during the period
III. The club either needs massive demotion (to the bottom of the pyramid), or dissolving and a phoenix club allowed to be set up - the level at which they enter will be up to them to negotiate with the leagues.
IV. These owners PASSED the fit and proper owners test - so the PL will be facing huge scrutiny

That's the only bit I don't completely agree with - because that destroys Emirates Marketing Project fans.
Dissolve the going concern, expunge them from the period in question, allow the fans to start a new Emirates Marketing Project and wish them all the best.

That said - I didn't hear too many protests from fans.
Credit to the likes of AFC Wimbledon and FC United for taking a stand when things became unacceptable.

Give the Bury phoenix club leasehold of the stadium

they stood for this, they welcomed it, they are complicit too

we've seen plenty of fans protest the ownership at other clubs, they sold out, fudge their fans too

I think this is where the era takes on a dimension. Different generation, different ways of being. Raised with the expectancy of instant gratification, and raised by a society which encourages and sells that to society (it's on us to resist wherever we can)...

I used to wonder what would happen to my support of the club if taken over by something like the City ownership. I think I'd find myself doing a Burkinshaw...

Andy Burnham 'really concerned' if Man City owners sell up after rule breaches

The prime minister compares the allegations against Emirates Marketing Project to the plight of his own club Everton.

I think I would have to find a way to support the team but not the club, not convinced I can square that though.

Its probably an age thing but I don't feel the same way about the club, team or supporters as I use to. I've been around long enough to see us win things and struggle and have come to live with good and bad times.

It very easy to be on the side and say all those things. But most likely, everyone would continue just as before, and just hoping the club was still run within the rules.

Funny enough i was having the same conversation about this last night, and came to the same conclusion.

100%. City fans are no better or worse than anyone else's fans. From their perspective, their owners did exactly what Chelsea did 5 years earlier. Their owners bridged the gap to Man U and Liverpool in the only way it could be realistically done. They did it by investing their own money into the club - not by defrauding anyone or spending money they didn't have.

They are all understandable points of view and points of view that many of us would have adopted in the same position. You only have to look on here or other Spurs boards to see that many fans wanted investment and didn't care where it came from including the Middle East.

All of that doesn't get away from the fact that City cheated, broke the rules and deserve to be punished. But, in a million years, I wouldn't condemn their fans.

I agree in principle - they slight difference is that with Wimbledon and Man Utd it was all out in the open; this was far more behind the scenes.
Any fan defending them now they've been found guilty can go down with them, for sure. But I leave some space for the others - they were also deceived.

I agree with that. It's as much a football problem as it is a Emirates Marketing Project problem (the culture; the rule breaking is purely on City and the PL governance controls).

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

I can't see how anyone can be critical of fans, they have no input on how the club is run, their reaction to the situation is no more than I would expect, they don't want the their club to be in this position are are in denial.
I think they feel their is a lot of jealousy about their fabulous record and all this is just bitter grapes, I know I'm envious of the success they had but I wouldn't want it the way they have done it.
