Reposted by @stevegroves2004.bsky.socialTariq Panja @tariqpanja.bsky.social · 01/10/2026But belated credit for following through on an investigation that burst into public view and carrying on with it in the face of what panel described as efforts to stymie it by City, other voices calling for it stop and UEFA’s abject failure in dealing with it over multiple years. 1372
Reposted by @stevegroves2004.bsky.socialTariq Panja @tariqpanja.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Whole thing relies on what can only be described as a code of trust between the league (which is a company owned by the 20 teams) and the teams. They clearly were not able to drill into details or preferred light touch arrangements in the Scudamore era. Enforcement/rules should be taken out of PL. 1284
Reposted by @stevegroves2004.bsky.socialTariq Panja @tariqpanja.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Same goes for the Chelsea years of cheating under Abramovich, which Chelsea are very lucky to get away with a light touch penalty because the new owners brought it up (which they legally were required to do). Taken together about 20 years+ of cheating under league’s nose. 13 PL titles between them 15112

It took a computer hack and then leaks to bring it out into open. The oversight clearly couldn’t discover such an obvious scheme. 99522

stevegroves2004.bsky.social @stevegroves2004.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Would have been a good idea if the Premier League had given thought to the consequences of letting a country own a football team in 2008. Nevermind it’s not like 18 years of its history has been tarnished. 000
stevegroves2004.bsky.social @stevegroves2004.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m buzzing for 2030 when City stop appealing and serve the punishment for their little creative accounting niggle. 000
stevegroves2004.bsky.social @stevegroves2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The premier league letting Russian crooks and countries financially dope clubs has altered careers, has inflated transfer fees and wages which has increased tv subscriptions and ticket prices. 110

I said at the time that their punishment was lenient and purely financial because they were going to do the same to City. Chelsea literally paid money on the side to sign the likes of Hazard. Their titles are tarnished too. 2543
stevegroves2004.bsky.social @stevegroves2004.bsky.social · 26/09/2026All these clubs suing City have forgotten they’ve made a lot of money selling players to them for inflated fees. They enabled it too. 110

This club has, according to the panel, corrupted the top league in the nation’s most-popular sport for nearly a decade and it took nearly a decade to deal with and it is still not over with appeal almost certain.
