Title: City Bribe? Post by: Elsterap on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 18:07:14 Send them down a league :evil:
(I actually feel it'll be slightly harsh to punish a team so severely that probably has totally new people running the club now - but fuck 'em) Title: City Bribe? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 19:07:50 i would love to see that happen elsterap!
Title: City Bribe? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 19:11:27 Technically the club that undertook those mis deeds in 68 was a differnt club to the one now.....which is Bristol City 1982 Ltd.
The previous club was wound up and this new one started, so no chance of a retrospective punishment. Title: City Bribe? Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 19:15:20 Would have been funny, but incredibly harsh and unjust for them to now move down
Probably would have got away with a 2500k fine and a slap on the wrist. Their name doesn't contain the word Swindon remember Title: City Bribe? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 19:39:18 thats true reeves! i seem to remember gillingham getting let off a few years ago for the same thing we did when ossie was here! a disgrace in my opinion!

Quote During the summer of 1994, Tottenham was found guilty of making illegal payments to players and handed out the most severe punishment in English football: 12 league points deducted for the 1994-95 Premier League season, 1-year ban from F.A Cup and £600,000 fine. Alan Sugar protested against the punishment, saying that the people involved with the wrong-doings were no longer at the club. The F.A Cup ban and points deduction were both eventually quashed. "illegal payments to players" - same as what we were done for? and how was a 12 point deduction 'the most severe punishment in English football', we got demoted for fucks sake! and surely brian hillier and 'the people involved with the wrong-doings' at swindon had left the club when it was found out, same as spurs. we got shit on! :evil: |
