Ben Foster 0:29
Hello everybody, welcome to the football fill-in. Now, international breaks are normally a time of misery and quiet and boringness and oh my god, please just get back to Premier League football. But this has been an absolute humdinger of an international break, lads. The news that has been breaking, the things that have been going on, England versus Spain, Anthony Gordon. Jordan Pickford getting dropped. Cole Palmer. Man City getting relegated. What is going on? Yeah,
Tom Tozer 0:56
it's been a good uh
Ben Foster 0:57
What is going on? Interesting break so far, isn't it?

Should Manchester City be relegated over the alleged Premier League breaches?

Ben Foster 1:00
Before we get into the international stuff, we've got to cover off Man City, all right? Because I've been listening to absolutely all sorts of everybody talking about what can and can't be done. Um so should we just get into it and give our opinions on what we think should be
Watto (Dave Watson) 1:13
I'm desperate to give my man City opinions because we've all worked against them for so long. And they've been this juggernaut in the Premier League. And to be fair, they look like everything's gone against them. I think they've got one charge that they've probably got away with out of 115. So was there 117 originally? Oh my god. It's absolutely bonkers. But I think the way I I feel because I were in the industry at that time and competing against them, and you saw how good a football team they were, but the feeling now that you know that there's underlying issues is not right. And I seen Tony Pulis come out a couple of days ago saying he feels like betrayed that he never got the chance to win the FA Cup as a manager because of what happened to him against Man City.
Watto (Dave Watson) 2:02
And I do think there's going to be a lot of resentment like that. I don't know how far the punishments can go. We've seen in Italy, France, titles getting stripped away. I'm not sure what the ultimate So the question is. So the big question
Tom Tozer 2:13
is, these Ben Foster could have an FA Cup medal. Take it back. In the post We w
Ben Foster 2:19
I want my FA Cup med I I want my FA Cup medal, right? And I also want about forty goals taken off of my goals conceded. Exactly. I want one of the saves though. Uh I didn't make many saves. That's the problem. The goals far exceeded the the saves that I made against them and no joke I let in I let in eight in one game once. I let in five here and there, four here and there. Like Oh boys, they right, f first and foremost, I know they can't just officially just get relegated, okay? Simple as that. They can't just get relegated. The AFL, that's not a that's not an option. But what they can do is they can impose such a points uh deduction on them that it will effectively relegate them. Because I think having heard a few of the stories about what they're actually getting charged for.
Ben Foster 3:05
These are proper breaches. They're like what aren't they beach? It's proper breaches, right? And they're they have to get relegated, don't they? They do. Th if they don't get relegated, then it's gonna be, oh my god, it will be a meltdown from absolutely everybody.
Tom Tozer 3:20
Well it it is gonna be an absolute meltdown from from everyone. So it's just quickly for a bit of context. There's over two years since the hearing, over thirteen hundred days since they were ch um charged. They've obviously been found guilty and now they get to appeal. Um but the result and the sanctions here in Ma still s take some time. So as of now, it's not kind of i too clear on the timelines. I know. But I mean this could be Going into next season.

How could points deductions, title stripping, and appeals shape Man City's punishment?

Tom Tozer 3:45
Yeah
Ben Foster 3:46
potentially. Right. So I was playing golf with Matty Grimes on um on Friday. Grimesy. And it was when the Grimesy, it was when the news broke, right? And he read it and he went, Oh my god, they've been found guilty of all and I was like, wow. Oh my god, that I could not believe it. And he said he said he said that needs to get pushed through now. He said that needs to get pushed through now. He said, We want them as one of the relegated team. He said, obviously we do, like that Coventry do, Hull do, Itswich do. There's probably fifteen but actually I take it that away. Every single Premier League team want them relegated this season, don't they?
