Simon Jordan & Stefan Borson DISAGREE Over Whether Man City Will Choose To Settle With The PL 😱💰

I think for the good of the game settling would be a bad idea if they are proven to have broken the rules then they should be punished heavily as it sets the wrong precedent

[@gillie-monger3394]

If the PL/FA settle with city i will positively campaign for a Super League because a settlement will be the death knell of English football as we know it.

[@bensmit1821]

They can’t settle out of Court! It undermines the integrity of the whole League! If they get away with this! I don’t even know where to start!!!

[@AP-di6gu]

If the Premier League fail to adequately deal with Manchester City, then I hope the other 19 PL clubs have the sense to breakaway and form a new league.

How is he defending city? He's just stating facts. It's not rich vs poor, neither side have a financial advantage because both can afford the highest quality councel. That's just a fact. He has always said, if city are found guilty, the punishment will be massive! But it's a big if!

Settlement will herald the end of the PL. Too many other clubs have had sanctions and penalties placed upon them to allow such a position to pass.

[@LeominsterFC]

Moron, those other clubs admitted to their charge. Man City have 115 and deny all of them. Pretty easy to see why the first two have been handled quickly and the latter is still ongoing. But that doesn’t fit your narrative so carry on.

Does the settlement also involves compensating the other teams? Because it’s the other teams that suffer not the PL!

[@jimmyniful]

If they allow City to settle, you can rename the Premier League the Man City League.

[@leighhudson9279]

Allow city to settle??? It would be the premier league wanting to settle because they know they can't win in court!

[@mark4045]

If Man City aren’t prosecuted and punished then I will never watch football again. How do they go from a second division club to the second most valuable club in the world in about 15 years. They have done it because of the financial issues that they are being accused of doing wrongly. There’s no way that they can go from being the second division club to the worlds second most valuable club without doing it. They don’t have the fan base or the global appeal to do that. There whole financial structure is based on dodgy deals and creative sponsorship deals which is exactly what they are being investigated for. If they don’t get punished then it’ll be an absolute disgrace

[@JustinCooperMarsh]

Shouldn't be allowed to settle. They have cheated their way to countless trophies and should be punished accordingly when found guilty.

[@BasherBrown]

Jordan’s hatred for City is obvious,he’s going to hate it when city are found not guilty

[@Ruscococo1]

Man City need to give certain evidence which they won't give, they did it in the UEFA case and then put in a little info later on which meant it wasn't conclusive evidence. They will do the same and get charged for maybe one or two charges which will be a 6 point deduction. It means Forest and Everton are happy, its sort of obvious what will happen.

[@Samivermusic]

The UK courts ruled that man city had to provide information to the PL for the investigation and make enquiries of third parties. I am pretty sure I read in a legal journal they had complied with that ruling.

As a fan of a pl club, I don't really want to see city being able to settle their way out of regulatory fraud. I mean ffs, should rich criminals just be allowed to pay their way out of punishments??

[@roberteshun1376]

Why everyone seems to believe city are settling their way out. Maybe it is the premier league that can not back up their allegations. The comment here seems so one-sided. I'm pretty sure if the league can nail city, then they won't hesitate to do so. The fact that they even charged them means they intented on punishing city if they were found guilty. Any form of settlement is on the epl , bcos why will u settle if u can find someone guilty.

[@Jayslo1357]

@roberteshun1376 yeah well we'll see won't they. They did say the source may not be reliable. It may be that the settlement talk is all made up. However one reason why settlement might be attractive is due to the risk of the loser paying all the legal fees. If premier league assess there to be a risk of losing, they might accept city pay a massive fine possibly and cover the cost of both sides legal fees. For city, that might be an attractive outcome but the PL clubs won't be happy if there is no points deduction
