You'll be fine. Relegation, points deduction and new owners.

You'll be a yoyo club again.

Everyone keeps saying that Man City fans shouldn’t be punished for the club’s owners’ actions, but “the Poznan” alone is grounds for forced relegation at the very least.

[some-subscribed-rss] New Post: Going Down, by David Timoney https://fromarsetoelbow.blogspot.com/2026/10/going-down.html
Teaser: Manchester City has been found guilty, and the club's belligerence suggests they know the game is up. Relegation isn't just possible—it's the most likely outcome. Stripping titles is too messy, and a points deduction is too clean. But this isn't just about City. It's about the UAE's sports-washing project, the EPL's selective morality, and a football system built on the willingness of the rich to piss away billions. The author argues that fans and players are innocent, but the institution is rotten. Will City be forced to rebuild from the Northern Premier League, or will the owners simply retreat? The verdict is in, and the reckoning is brutal. teaser for https://fromarsetoelbow.blogspot.com/2026/10/going-down.html generated by deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

In this weekend’s newsletter: while others debate whether Man City should be stripped of their trophies or relegated to League Two, I argue that what happens to the club’s directors and auditors is just as important - perhaps even more so.
Imagine a widget maker is sold to a new owner. Eager to expand, the ambitious proprietor splashes out on state-of-the-art machinery. The company’s improved widgets attract widespread praise and win many awards. However, sales do not keep up with the investment and the business suffers heavy losses. Embarrassed by the red ink, the owner asks friendly business partners for help. Perhaps they could boost his sales by buying some products? The partners want to be supportive but cannot justify paying such high prices. So the owner gives them the necessary cash. The widget maker enjoys a boost to sales and reduced losses. Over almost a decade, these sham contracts bring in £831 million in additional revenue. This, in a nutshell, is the case against Manchester City Football Club, as outlined in the eye-popping conclusions of an independent commission appointed by England’s Premier League and released this week. In this case, the widgets are Manchester City’s performances on the soccer pitch, while the sham payments were disguised as sponsorship and other commercial contracts. The question now is what punishment the club should face. Unsurprisingly, the debate has focused on possible sporting penalties for flouting English and European rules governing financial fair play. These include fines, the deduction of points, relegation to the lower divisions of English soccer, the cancellation of past trophies, and even a forced sale by Manchester City’s ultimate owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. But the same behaviour merits business sanctions, too. The directors of a humdrum widget maker that engaged in such deception could expect civil or even criminal charges, while the auditors who waved it through would also face censure. Manchester City, one of the most high-profile businesses in Britain, should be held to at least the same standard. The club says it is innocent and has a “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” to support its case, which is ongoing. Apologists might argue that, as the £831 million started and ended with the same owner, the deception was cosmetic. Manchester City’s sporting rivals, who for years were outgunned in the competition for star players, disagree. The private equity firm Silver Lake, which invested $500 million in the club at a $4.8 billion valuation in 2019, may also take a different view. Besides, the unnamed commercial partners presumably engaged in some financial sleight-of-hand to facilitate the money-go-round. Self-declared realists will maintain that capital-starved Britain cannot afford to alienate deep-pocketed investors like the United Arab Emirates. It’s also true that the Premier League has long tolerated the dubious motives of wealthy owners from the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and elsewhere in its quest for a bigger worldwide audience. Yet the scale, audacity and duration of the scheme revealed this week demands a tougher response. At stake is not just the sporting fairness of the Premier League. As Liam Proud writes, the scandal is also a test of Britain’s legal, financial …

One relegation isn’t nearly enough. They’ll keep the majority of their squad and win the championship at a canter.

The range of selected punishments I have seen suggested for Man City, no matter how harsh or creative just don't feel as though they are severe enough. The amount of money they have no doubt will ever be big enough, no relegation ever far enough.

It’s going to end with a super league anyway - but replacing the UCL and after the inaugural season, on a promotion relegation basis

I just hope my own teams wins the league in England one last time before it happens

You are conflating expulsion and relegation. A large enough points penalty to relegate them wouldn't need a vote.

Expulsion from the league.

Not relegation.

The club would have to apply to join the EFL. By judgement of the independent commission the management and the owners are not "fit and proper persons" to own and run a football club.

After that it's up to MCFC owners to decide what they do.
