It was. Such beauty in that simple stat.
Leicester probably the only club since 2014 to win a title without an asterisk beside it.*

This means Steven Gerrard is a Premier League winning captain and Brendan Rodgers a Premier League winning manager.
Congratulations also to Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for winning the league as Manchester United managers. Both received the traditional Manchester United gesture of thanks for winning trophies - the sack.

Still nothing for Spurs I suppose 
Systemic cheating. The owners cannot be fit and proper under PL rules

Has English football ever done a retroactive (can someone check if that’s the right word?) punishment? Isn’t it usually just a points deduction?
Why were all the English teams banned from Europe in the late 80s?
Murdering Liverpool fans. But that was UEFA no?
Hard to see them do anything meaningful as said above. And much like the Juve Calciopoli scandal, the worst that would happen is have a title or 2 stripped. Hard to see them award it to other teams though, teams that may have finished 2nd to 5th and close in points may have treated the season differently had City not already won by a huge margin. Everyone knew it stank for donkeys years and its one of the reasons why people are still so apathetic to City winning, they just dont care they win.

I wonder with it have wider repercussions for the league in general? Owners having to be more careful with money. Be great to see a salary cap or something of that ilk to make it more competitive

You’ll have lads on soon saying it’s xenophobic that City are getting investigated when the US capitalist pigdogs are getting away with it, etc., etc.

You can stand on the bank of the fallowfield loop and watch for free. I’ll let Sheikh Mohammed know. Be about the same view as he currently gets at the Etihad if he gets there early and claims his spot. Easy cycle back to withington then for pints in the Albert.
