Bellingham scores 2 as Real Madrid win at the Nou Camp against Barcelona. He’s also La Liga top scorer.
First bolded it, no you didn't you said stripping titles does nothing, that it should be point deduction. Second bolded bit - that was the first thing I said in my original comment since which you've been arguing about it not being that easy because of it being a league season and what about the team that finished 3rd ....
there's 3 things that might be "effective" transfer bans for multiple seasons relegations fines in the 100s of millions. the title stripping is important as the deterent to the next lot. if thr objective is to "win" then being seen to be lousy cheats and having record expunged is effective. but it has to be allied with massive financial loss
Well, we were beaten by one point twice, and you'd need a telescope to see the third-placed team in both cases, so it would be no problem re-allocating it there. But it wouldn't feel right, even though they'd be rightfully ours - if City are found guilty. Technically it would be simple enough to go through all their results and re-allocate the points accordingly, I just don't think we should set such a precedent.
Some points: I can't imagine any fine even making them flinch. Surely a fine has to be judged according to the misdemeanour not the bank balance of the owner, so pulling out a disproportionate one just gives them more room to appeal. Also, who gets the money gleaned from fines?
in Finland they fine a speeding driver on their ability to pay not on a standard. nobody speeds on public roads when they could be fined 100k. the simple answer is the money can go in the league slush fund if Everton cheat a 100mil fine = near bankruptcy if man city cheat 500 to 1 billion to the owners or sell the club seems appropriate.
The fact of the matter is that there should be rules in place already for such cases. When rules were drawn up originally, nobody could have envisaged what city would do so it's not surprising that no such rules, along with punishment for if those rules are broken, were written up. Since the introduction of mega money into the league, rules and punishments should be written down so everyone knows what happens if they don't stay within them. I bet no rules have been introduced since the pandemic as to what happens should a season have a long term stall again, no matter how unlikely it seems. When you break rules there should be no question as to what happens. Similarly contingency plans or rules, policies .... whatever they could be called, should be written down for unforeseen circumstances affecting a season.
The entire city project is allied to sports washing, showing the owners and country in a better light, making them seem better than they are. Being branded cheats and having their titles striped would hurt them much more than a fine. Even going forwards it would taint the entire project, effectively making further outrageous funding pointless.
if a man u team with Maguire, Evans and eriksen as a 6 don't get well beat then city have dropped off a cliff.
Haaland did head straight back into the middle of the goal and into Onana moving across. If he’d glanced it Onana wouldn't have got anywhere near it.
Yeah was good anticipation but was more Onana dived to make himself big and Haaland headed it at him rather than any kind of brilliant reaction. Haaland just has to head it down and it’s a goal.
