I tell y'all, Spain is doing a repeat of 2008-2010-2012, mark my words.

It's the nations league then the eurocup baby.

It was a disappointing result for Scotland last night. We lost 3-0 at home to Switzerland.

Let's hope it's that or at least a substantial point deduction
A fine or a transfer ban would be too soft

I suspect Man C will get a hefty fine and a transfer ban rather than a hefty points reduction. The problem is that it's a huge operation, thousands of jobs rely on them, and to drop them down a couple of leagues.. they don't have the base support of, say, Rangers, who could take dropping but keep their fanbase.

If they were to be dropped, it's jobs lost, it's fans lost, players lost, it's a costly stadium they can't afford to maintain.. the repercussions would be huge.

They certainly deserve severe punishment, but whether it pans out that way, I'm not sure.

That was my point, they don't have the fanbase like Rangers - who were dropped leagues - where they can come back retaining the fanbase. So the effect of them being dropped a couple of leagues is so much more drastic an effect.

They need to be dissolved. This is probably the biggest cheating scandal in football history. It makes Calciopoli look like nothing.

Force them to sell everyone who didn't come from the academy, then use the sales to pay said hefty fine
Then, with the transfer ban also in place, they'll need to develop their own players

Except that's actually punishment for City.

Fines are a slap on the wrist when you're making money hand over fist in the PL, a transfer ban is a temporary inconvenience, when it blows over you've still got star players and a fancy stadium, in the long run breaking the rules paid off.

If all your fans jump off the bandwagon just because you've been demoted a division or two, sucks to be you, maybe you should've followed the rules.

Surprised no one has brought up Football Conquest yet, I’m doing an imperialism run and Italy got knocked out with 199 nations left

Looks like the Zidane curse carries over to simulations too

Update: France win the Football Conquest World Cup against… drumroll… Timor-Leste (how the fuck did they get to the final?). Peak.
