Liverpool FC Forum

They should be demoted to the last tier, similar to what happened with Juventus. Wouldn't be surprised if Pep knew what was going on, tbf he seems like a shady figure himself.

A lot of fans don't want an extra trophy or title this way but if they hadn't cheated we probably would've won them fairly. So I say yes please! Bring Klopp back for a parade and put those titles in their rightful place... Anfield! (and the other clubs too).

Olympic athletes have been stripped of gold medals and those medals subsequently awarded to the athlete finishing in second so there is a precident here, not sure i'd want to win titles that way though.

Remove their name from the record books and insert voided due to corruption. Then future generations will see and realise cheating is dishonourable and we all suffer because of it. 
I would suspend Man city from participating in any football matched 2026/27 with immediate effect until appeals are resolved...To allow them to continue is the allowing a convicted criminal to roam free until his appeal is heard. I would also hope UEFA grow some balls and throw the crooks out of European competition.

agreed but we all know deep down it'll get 'settled' with a brown envelope.
as for the UEFA stance, it would only take a statement from certain big clubs (Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, Liverpool etc ) to say we aren't participating in a competition that includes a team built by cheating and they'll have to listen

I'm sure the appeal process would be resolved quickly if Man city were suspended from competition and not dragged out like the crooked owners have threatened. Once the appeals are thrown out the punishment should reflect the not guilty cry from the cheaters and be severe . Expulsion from the premier league is the only rightful punishment ...forcing them to re apply for entrance into the league starting at the bottom; if thats via the national conference so be it.

'The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case.  The Club will therefore be relentless, and where necessary proactive, in any and all appropriate regulatory and legal forums.'

So why didn't they present this 'irrefutable evidence' to the original hearing? It's pure BS to delay the punishment being given.
If you factor in 2 more years then watch as they start to unwind the squad selling their best players whilst they have value.
As they say in the legal world... speed is of the essence.

Down to the Second division, banned from any European competition for 5 years and a fine equal to what they fiddled:  £920 million.

I see their fans are digging in and defending their owners.

Did none of them honestly wonder where all of the money came from?

Kick them out of all the leagues. Make an example for future generations.

It has been unjust for the other sides but tbh getting a medal like this just isn't the same.

Makes you think though, had their been no City's "riches", titles would've been shared by United, Arsenal and US. Klopp would've dominated his era and now would've been Legoheads turn. That year when we went for quad we would've got the treble and who knows with that added motivational factor could've completed football and won the quad. Anyhow all Ifs and buts now, damage has been done.
