I don’t think it is realistic, but if they had to go to the Championship, do you think there will be players who want to stay and get up again, or they just look for an other Club? Which club would even be a possibility for the biggest city stars?

Sorry for my english

    If 1 violation = 10 point deduction, then 115 = 1,150 point deduction.

    They aren’t going to be allowed to do one season in the 2nd tier and bouce straight back up.

    I’ll be surprised if Man City are treated the same as Everton. The money is the most important thing to the league and FA. They’ll just pay a back hander and it’ll be like nothing ever happened. Not that I’m cynical or anything.

    There is no mechanism to ban, or relegate from the PL. Only a points deduction, which may lead to a relegation. If that happened city would return in a year and then struggle with £ for a few years and be mid table.

    Might see a huge opportunity for Saudi League to get graps of some of them.

    We did see with Juventus, when they were relegated that the likes of Buffon, Nedved, Del Piero etc. stayed, but for most of those players and the fact that times were simply different back then, I believe they had a bond and connection with the club, that is much stronger than the players of Man City and in general with players and clubs in todays football.

    That said there are definitly some contractual rules that allows players to leave if their club gets relegated for out-field violations. There simply has to be. I can’t imagine anything else.

    Even if they sold their first 11 , their second 11 would destroy the championship. I know it wouldn’t be that straightforward but I can’t see them having too much trouble bouncing straight back

    It depends on what they are forced to change financially. If they can just keep paying people the same wages it will be a quick holiday in the championship.

    It’s also a big if that the EFL allow them to participate from League 2 or if they get demoted completely from the Football league.

    There’s 2 ways they get demoted. A big enough points deduction that sends them down to the Championship.

    Or kicked out the football league and into non-league football. The PL doesn’t have the right to send them straight to the championship (unless they deduct 100 points to guarantee it)

      Yeah, this. The Premier League is officially a completely different league from the EFL; transfer between the two is as much a matter of election as it is promotion and relegation. Those elections are basically formalities most of the time, but getting the EFL to accept Moneybags City would be a less trivial exercise.

      I’m sure some deal would be done to accommodate them, but it’s not just a unilateral decision for the Premier League.

      The Premier League would have to either dock them something like a hundred points (as per your suggestion), or expel them from the league entirely and let the chips fall where they may.

    I wonder if any of the players even have relegation release clauses? With City so far up the thought probably never crossed their minds.

    Kinda hard to say since they some of them are probably illegitimate signings so I’d guess their contracts would be ended and they’d be free agents

    Pep, the bastien of virtue and innocence, who had a drugs ban during his playing career.
