The premier league is more than the 20 teams in the league, it’s a business and brand in itself. The other 19 teams definitely will want city punished but the premier League as a business and brand won’t. It’s not because city are special above everyone else but having the team that has dominated the league over the last century shown to have been cheating in order to achieve it will damage the brand. If the premier league really cares about fair play then they would never have let state ownership happen. However they don’t, they care about money and making the league the biggest in the world. So they will try to let city go unpunished, it’s not like these accusations were not obvious to everyone when they happening same as the Chelsea ones.
Man United had a very similar one last year where it bounced of Martinez’s thigh and hit his hand. We had two handball penalties in our last Champions league match, after the match some fans got talking to the ref and he told them that they wouldn’t have been penalties in the premier League but are under UEFA rules they are.
It’s a shit rule not shit refereeing.
