Worried? I'm excited.

If there is a lord, make it big 🙏

Point deduction is hilarious, their league titles should be rescinded. Where’s the integrity of the competition for those seasons?

Is it because they're potentially going to have points deducted from them?

I’ll take the points deduction if it means City get blasted back to the Stone Age

I fail to see why I should be worried.

They'll be long dead by the time any investigation has been concluded. I know a thing or two about this as my team are also being investigated for a thing or 115.

Do anyone remember not too long ago, when the same was said about Man City. Yeah.

Did I just read an article about financial crimes in football that seriously used the term frothing at the gash? wtf fourfourtwo?

Someone’s definitely need Man city lawyers 😅

Source: Trust me bro.

Where are the deductions of MC?

Wish it was last year when it would have got them relegated

Is anyone gonna start a study on how City and newcastle owners funded their success? This is a really stupid thing to do because almost every billionaire has blood on their hands. Throughout history i wouldn't be surprised if the Saudi royal family has killed the population equivalent to a small country. The abramovic news is only news because it's all politics.

The least they can do is bring in some consistency.

does it really matter, they arent gonna get relegated anyway even with a points deduction

Seems like big trouble. After seeing news around Chelsea women CL match. Would the women side also be effected by the investigation and punishment because the finance must be linked somehow.

They are going to get points deducted now because of the Abramovich era that ended last year?

What's the point of a deduction now for historical offences under previous ownership? Shouldn't the trophies they won in the time period be vacated?

I need to see more articles like this…. But for Man City

Does 442 not have a subeditor who knows what the phrase "frothing at the gash" means?

I can excuse a writer thinking it's similar to frothing at the mouth, but it's not.

Also Todd Bohelly? Abramocivc? Who checks this stuff before it goes online? If you're not going to pay a sub to make your publication look respectable at least make your monkey typists use google docs' free spell check.

I wonder what exactly the point of a point deduction to a club that has none of the people here that committed the breaches.

Chelsea risking a point deduction in 2083 going by how fast the PL is to investigate issues.

The spelling, grammar and overall writing in this article is dreadful. It smacks of shoddy journalism based upon nothing

We're such trendsetters 😎

How do I upvote this a million times?

Just a point won't do anything. Why not impose 2 season ban on transfers... Only allow Academy kids to replace ppl who left for free or injured. This would benefit home grown and the clubs in the long run.

Great…now do Man City

The thread: Chelsea might get a points deduction.

And yet, Manchester City remain unpunished

Frothing at the gash to know who ok’d this article lmao

One of many, many, many revelations from this

Was he trying to hit a word count or something? Truly an awfully written article

Holy crap that’s an awfully written article

Judging by the comments it’s a good thing I never give FourFourTwo a click

I guess a draw with city wasn’t in the arabs agenda.

I just love that "investigation" was done by a NEWSPAPER....

Meanwhile Man City continues to go unscathed for hundreds of infractions…

Ummm, there was an investigation via Cyprus Confidential but I haven't heard a thing from any regulatory body. Awful state of this article aside, how are they facing a points deduction when there's been no charge or even an investigation at this point? If something comes out of this it's going to be a long while before anything happens.

Facing sanctions for something that happened like 5 or 10 years ago, at least five coaches ago and a previous owner ship group seems completely asinine.

None of the people involved with anything that happened or still at the club.

Today I learned that Adam Clery left WhatCulture for FourFourTwo

Lol remember the articles when abramovic first got sanctions the one saying we’d go bankrupt, what happened with that? Absolutely nothing will come of this

Or it could be that they backchanneled the money required to pay Hazard’s agent, through these holding companies, so that a) they could avoid paying any tax on it and b) they wouldn’t have to declare it to football’s governing bodies

Hey, this is awfully familiar.

So serious question has any PL club actually have points deducted?

Chelsea have points?

All well and good while he as still pumping money into the sport. Now he's gone its a problem, huh?

Just going to quickly editorialise here, but I have no idea why you’d tell on yourself like that

He says as he's writing an entire article that have Chelsea linked to a bigger International scandal that the Premier League would have undoubtedly found out about anyway and triggered an inevitable investigation.

Morality aside, to me it doesn’t seem like the amounts would be enough to put them in the red and fall foul of FPP?

Who writes this shit?
