10 million fine.
2-window suspended transfer ban.
Outcome of FA charges.
All matters which were self-reported cleared.
Roman and Bruce and Marina were rather dodgy but always get applauded.
Blue.co very honest in all dealings and get slagged off on here.
In the meantime, what about Manchester City?

Roman or Blue.co
Welcome to the site.
I think we are all agreed that we are thankful for the success the Roman era brought, but equally the new owners were left with a mess to resolve.
Also, I'm pretty sure every poster on here is glad that the new owners at the time self-reported, and I believe that's why our punishment was reduced.
You mention Man City. My response is: who knows, I certainly don't.

My guess is, if we hadn't self-reported and cooperated fully with all the governing bodies, we may well have received a points deduction as a punishment. Any points deduction may well have meant us being relegated last season.
I'm also not sure that just having a new owner is a defence in itself.
