Manchester City’s financial case raises a bigger question than just what punishment the club deserves: what happens to the Premier League itself if one of its biggest global attractions is expelled?

On one hand, going easy on City could undermine the credibility of the league’s financial rules. If the rules apply differently to the biggest clubs, what is the point of having them?

But on the other hand, the Premier League has built a huge part of its global appeal around elite teams, star players and title races. Removing a club as successful as City would have commercial consequences, potentially trigger further legal disputes with rival clubs, and leave the league facing some difficult questions.

So the league faces a dilemma:
Punish City too lightly, and risk damaging the credibility of its rules.
Punish City too severely, and potentially create a financial and legal mess that extends far beyond the club itself.

Does protecting the integrity of the competition justify whatever commercial fallout might follow? Or could relegating City end up hurting the Premier League almost as much as it hurts City?

I explored this question in a new video on my YouTube channel, IONAR, looking at the broadcasting money, potential compensation claims and the wider business implications. - https://youtu.be/Mqd0yDLtF0c?is=pJQROVmTaMo5bXbE

In light of Stephen A Smith being a complete dick to Lane Johnson’s retirement over his mental health, I have been asking myself “why hasn’t stephen a smith been out at espn???” This Lane Johnson reaction isn’t his first terrible and problematic take, for example, earlier this year for the NBA offseason, he was actually angered by the fact that the Lakers big three were all white because, according to smith, white people aren’t good at basketball, which is one racist and two completely wrong. there have been many other instances that i don’t care to mention because there have been so many.

also, smith is not even a good sports anchor, this dude just comes on and sounds off about something he doesn’t like in the world of sports in a new york accent and doesn’t contribute anything to espn. he’s just there to cause drama, as if there isn’t fucking enough of that in sports. it’s like nfl and nba refs trying to take the spotlight, just do your damn job and stay out of the way. he’s just clipfarming 24/7 and it’s getting OOOOOOLLLDDD.

finally, there have been reports of him being a total di to work with, and if i’m espn im using this to (FINALLY) let him go. and don’t say he’s like the face of espn sports broadcasting (because he’s not).

edit: if they fired him who’d you want to see replace him?
