Just chatting about the City fiasco and the facts emerging.
We plus the FA and FIFA etc have to keep in mind that the whole football world are looking at this. All clubs, even in the Champions League will be asking "do we want to play against a cheating club".
My view is that only expulsion will suffice.
I agree with you. Would it mean the end of the club? I don't know.
Without getting all political about this Andy Burnham has made, as have others, City helped make a huge impact on the regeneration of the general area and probably the city as a whole.
For instance there's a very good pizza restaurant we always visit enroute to Co-op Live or the Etihad (for music, not footie). Without this regeneration our group of four probably wouldn't be in Manchester spending +/-£120 on food plus other bits of spending.
