Google just posted a message about the points deduction of 60 points and relegation being a possibility. Is this a news story getting credibility in the UK? |  | | |  |

Yes a fair bit in the news today saying if Everton got 10 points deducted then due to the magnitude of Man City’s breaches they could face 60-100 point deduction…..won’t believe it until I see it though! |  | | |

Wolves who?? Equal Leicester’s points and beat Leicester away. And we stay up 😂 |  | | |

Yes, 60 point deduction is most likely outcome.
Phew! Slightly fortunate to stay up that way, but I’ll take it! |  |

Do you honestly think the Premier League would sink such an important part of their brand? I just can’t see anything happening. They’ll get a 15 points deduction and told off or something equally pathetic.
Saying that, I still don’t see us finishing above Leicester, I just don’t think we’ve got it in us. |  |

Positive about a speculative points reduction? I just can’t see the Premier League sinking Manchester City. Leicester City should have had a deduction themselves and got a slapped wrist.
We’ve also not been good enough to take 6 points off Southampton this season, it’s hardly inspiring stuff, I’d take us to be able to suddenly take our chances and stop giving away a ton of goals to keep us above Leicester, while not impossible, every time it’s been in our hands or there for the taking this season we just haven’t had it in us to get it over the line. What suggests that anything will change in that regard? We also get injuries and suspensions that make us significantly weaker as well because we simply don’t have the squad depth.
It’s not really being negative, it’s just where we are. | |

It's relentless from some posters, this one being a particularly notable culprit. Yeah, zero chance we finish above Leicester, who we are currently above, who we've been above for most of the last few months, and whose performances have largely been even worse than our own for a good while now. Can't see it happening, bruv. |  |

Leicester, who have lost 6 on the spin at home, without scoring once. Clearly much better than us. |  |

Totally agree with your first paragraph.
Second paragraph, let’s agree to differ. |  | | |

Arguably the best thing about staying up wouldn't be another year of Prem money, or having a better chance of keeping McKenna and our best players, it'd be some of these mooks who seem to have appeared this season hopefully piping down for 5 minutes. | |

Well, it's not balanced or objective, there is nothing positive there, ergo it's negative.
A lot of posters moan about other jumping on them when they point out negative things. From what I see, this only happens when the poster is consistently negative or deliberately obtuse etc.
I've seen so many posters this season question everything from players, tactics, the manager, how much we have spent but because their posts are objective, there is no issue.
As is always the case, it's the way things are written, the positioning of the posts. |  |

I obviously I haven't moved with the times because until Town got back in the league I had become completely jaded with the PL and watched very few games... however, despite all the league titles, I just don't see City that way. Are they an important part of the brand?
In my mind, once Pep goes, if their performances tailed off and they faded in to obscurity then it would be met with a collective shrug. The PL will be just fine with Liverpool, United, Arsenal etc. | | | |

Whatever the punishment it is likely to be halved on appeal. They will receive a punishment that avoids relegation but stops them qualifying for Europe, unless of course they win the FA Cup. |  |

It's getting some traction, but not sure how much of that is low-level websites copying each other until there's enough noise for some of the bigger organisations to join in. |  |

It's all very well to be 'an important part of their brand', but if that leads to constant trouble, flouting of the rules, undermining the Prem and (for the previous few seasons) tarnishing the spectacle by constantly winning through spending and possible sharp practice, then how valuable are they really?
The Prem/FA would reap massive kudos among commentators and the fanbase for actually and effectively cracking down.
Events this season have been almost enough to wonder whether ManC are sandbagging to deflate perceptions and mitigate whatever penalty may be under consideration. If they were storming the division yet again, it might be too provocative, given the nature of the charges. | |

I am not being negative, I am just being realistic, while Leicester have been woeful Southampton are worse , we lost to them and they didn't have to do very much to get that result. West Ham were absolutely awful before we played them and we made them look like Brazil, as for Leicester, we haven't managed to beat them in 3 games so far between the seasons, so digs and downvotes at me aside, why do you really think we'll finish 18th rather than 19th? Are we really better than Leicester?
I just don't see it happening, especially with our knack for getting injuries and suspensions at crucial times. | |

City are not a particularly important part of the Premier League brand. I think people may be quite surprised at how this ends up. | |

Equally, we have won 1 at home this season and are heading into March the only top-flight team not to win this year, how is that better than Leicester?
Having said that, this whole scenario requires the Premier League to throw the book at one of its key assets and relegating them. I can't see it happening, not in a million years. | |

So you don't want an actual debate, you just want to have a dig. Truthfully you can't make an argument for Ipswich being better than Leicester and going the playground route again.
Well done. | |

You do like to pick out bad examples and define ITFC by those results, don't you.
Equally ludicrous would be to say we've beaten Chelsea and Spurs, so we're a top half team.
I struggle to work out where your allegiances lie sometimes. |  |

No idea whether it's true or not, but I think it's highly unlikely that they would be relegated this season because their lawyers will put so much heat on with legal action/appeals that if will take years for any relegation to be confirmed. | |

There's no point debating with you. We're above Leicester currently. At one point they had a 5 point gap over us earlier in the season which we've clawed back. They look terrible and while our results have been poor lately, I don't think we look as bad a side as them. For you to so definitively state that we won't finish above them is blinkered negative crap that's not worth dignifying with a long response. | |
