"Ridiculous Timing": Allardyce Slams Man City Trial, Outlines Punishment
Allardyce on "Ridiculous" Timing
Former England manager Sam Allardyce has denounced the timing of the upcoming Manchester City trial over alleged financial breaches as "absolutely ridiculous." Allardyce argued that it interferes with the team's focus during a crucial point in the season.
"It's incredibly unfair to the players, the manager, and the club," Allardyce stated. "They should have waited until the end of the season or even until next season to deal with this. It's a total distraction."
Allardyce: "City's Punishment Should Be Severe"
Point Deduction or Title Stripping
Allardyce believes that if Manchester City is found guilty, the punishment should be severe. He advocates for a significant point deduction or even the stripping of their Premier League titles.
Financial Penalties
In addition, Allardyce suggests substantial financial penalties. "They've got to hit them where it hurts," he said. "Take away their transfer budget or fine them millions. That's the only way to deter other clubs from doing the same thing."
Credibility Damage
Allardyce emphasized the damage to Manchester City's credibility. "They've spent so much money and built up a reputation as one of the best teams in the world," he said. "If they're found guilty, it will tarnish everything they've achieved."
Background: Manchester City's Alleged Breaches
