Episode 223 - Man City Reportedly Guilty on 114 Charges: What Should Happen Next?

Man City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of 115 charges. The verdict hasn't been officially announced, but the reports point to a punishment that could reshape the Premier League. Patrick and Neel break down what comes next.

In this episode:

· What the charges cover and why the obstruction charges may be the hardest to deny

· How the case compares with Everton, Chelsea, Derby, Calciopoli and a Belarusian title scandal

· Why City can't go to CAS, and how the appeal timeline works

· Points deductions, fines, compensation claims and what the hosts think should happen

· How the UAE and UK politics could complicate the punishment

· Why the "red cartel" defense doesn't hold up

Then we turn to PSG, sixth in Ligue 1 after a slow start. Is it the usual early-season wobble or something more serious? We look at the pressing problems, the transfer window and what the numbers say.
