Do we know where the paltry £10m goes to?

Grassroots football or a worthy charity I expect?

Towards paying the legal fees for 115

[Daffydd]

Is the Paltry £10m fine and suspended one year transfer ban given to Chelsea for years of illegal payments a good indicator that Man City are likely going to be treated incredibly leniently irrespective of what rules they've broken and how many times they broke them, assuming of course that they get found guilty of anything?

I think it is.

Yes - my first thoughts too. They're setting the precedent. Laying the groundwork. Whatever you want to call it. No question.

Morocco have been declared the winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) overturned the result of their final defeat to Senegal following their controversial walk-off.

Senegal beat Morocco 1-0 in the final on 18 January in a match which was overshadowed when the Senegalese players refused to play after the hosts were awarded a stoppage-time penalty with the match goalless.

Outrageous

[Daffydd]

It's a funny old game

That has always been in the back of mind as a tiny possibility, but I think that hope is tempered somewhat by Edwards still being at the club. It is well known that he and Klopp didn't get on.

Anyone considered Hughes might have gone to oath the way for Jurgens return

Another 3 seasons, then he becomes sporting director and his system made the club system

[teesred]

It is 100% an indication of what will happen to City, or should that be not happen to City. The premier league are pure shithouses.

I wonder what that means for Arne Slot? if Hughes is gone. maybe Slot will get next season?

[RedMagic]

I'm not sure he could have done that much more damage if he had purposely tried to screw things up.

Well he let Diaz go and shouldn’t have, spent an absolute fortune on recruitment but left the squad very unbalanced and is now struggling to persuade Konate to sign a contract.

That’s quite an effort in such a short space of time.

Are you one of the many? I am.

Daveockop reporting that Richard Hughes has reached agreement to join Al Hilal in the summer.

It appears many will get their wish in having him replaced.
