You'd do well to investigate the same bank accounts involved in last year's CAS decision to overturn the ban on City by UEFA then.

well it was a Liverpool hacking that got the info to them.

hope Liverpool and United back us up, but that would also make us a threat to the top six so United won’t.

Can't happen with a league game, it would be too unfair on other teams who had to earn the 3 points to keep up.
It's fine in a cup game where the only loser is the team that can't compete because their players have broken the bubble rules.

Spurs got a bye to the next round, when Orient couldn't fulfil their fixture. St Mirren/Kilmarnock in Scotland were awarded 3-0 wins against them, that was until they took it to appeal.

I think if football are deemed to be out of control of the virus, which looking at the increased cancellations is the case, then the government should suspend football immediately, otherwise it's not fair on other businesses that spent millions on covid restrictions but still got fooked over by Tier 4 controls.

Like i said, fine in cup games where the only team that suffer is the one at fault.
You can't give one team a 3 point advantage over others for something beyond their control.

How's it fair on businesses that have been shut down by covid restrictions, despite spending thousands, even millions, and jobs lost of ordinary people, why should football be an exception. I suggest cancel all games immediately, so they are treated the same as other businesses. Football has clearly lost it's control on the virus and I don't see why they should be treated differently to your average person on the street.

Ahh, you are on a completely different discussion to me <laugh>
I was talking about awarding points that teams haven't earned whilst others don't get the same advantage.

When it comes to shutting the game down, then yes if this keeps happening.

Shut it down then, wait until areas are safe. Don’t punish teams with small squads like City, Liverpool and United if they have outbreaks and can’t put a team filled with world class stars.

I sort of see your point but us asking for some genuine clarity on this one is right imo.

City had lost 2 players to COVID for their last game, how many more positive tests have they got, and it is therefore reasonable to accept that they don’t turn up on the day of the game?

If there’s even a whiff of gamesmanship then they should forfeit the points imo, but it won’t happen obvs.

Or alternatively he has said Klopps ok with a top side but couldn't martial a poor side with his one tactic.

He said Klopp couldn't do what he does, but he could do what Klopp does. Be thankful that we'll never actually know. But well done against us - they deserved their point. One goal is rarely enough, and we created jack **** in the second half apart from pretty triangles. :emoticon-0108-speec

Oh i agree entirely with the need for sanction after they have already had two cases and obviously haven't done enough since then.
The problem is money means nothing to them and giving you points hurts 4 or 5 other teams that have done nothing wrong.
Maybe the best action would be to take 3 points off City whilst not gifting anyone else points.

I prefer Everton to be awarded three points, just so I can watch Klopp rage.

If they’ve tried to avoid the game because it didn’t suit, then we should get the points mate, simple as that.
