Consequently, what happened?

THOUGH MACANTHONY
EFL chairman MacAnthony, who is in charge of Peterborough in League One, does not believe that any significant action will be done since Juve lost a trophy in the 2006 Calciopoli incident. “I don’t know what the rule is that relates to such allegations,” he said to talkSPORT. I’m not aware of the penalty. I’m not aware of any such precedents. Is each charge worth two points? It’s all gibberish, in my opinion, but I’m sure the media will run headlines like “relegation,” “banned,” and “league championships from the past handed back.” I know that occurred in Italy, but I don’t think you can undo the past, and I don’t like that.
“Everyone in sport tries to manipulate. Let me speak for the EFL; I’m not claiming Man City has done this. In order to recruit players and assemble the strongest team possible, everyone tries to go around the system despite the pay ceilings, regulations, and other restrictions. I’m not claiming that anyone is disobeying the law or any regulations, but there is undoubtedly rule-bending occurring, and the Premier League is no exception. Furthermore, I just believe that Man City, given who they are and what they have accomplished over the past ten years, are a prime target for media attention. Therefore, I just advise waiting it out and watching what transpires in the end.

WERE YOU AWARENESS?
As the FFP drama continues, questions about Pep Guardiola’s future at City are also being raised. MacAnthony commented on the matter, saying that the Catalan coach of the Blues is entering the last year of his contract and that “I can’t speak for Pep but I think he’s done six years, maybe more, oh eight years, which is probably a long old period for him.” He may be similar to Jurgen Klopp in that, after winning X amount consecutively for another year, he would think, “You know what? I must take a year off.
