Well done to Bilbao and the San Mames staff. Very few places would have allowed this to happen. And it's beautiful that it's in a stadium nicknamed 'la Catedral' -- beautiful in the sense that protesting war and genocide transcends religions.
Anything it takes to get Sevilla that sweet 3rd place (just so they can win this whole Europa thing again to give the old drop off format a proper send off)… that includes Ramos scoring from a Raketa free kick @longeyelashedtragedy

Everton getting a 10 point deduction for 1 FFP breach means that potentially Man City could see themselves getting a 1150 point dedcution for their 115 FFP breaches. but where would a 1150 point drop leave them? Join me on this journey to find out!
Firstly, the rules. For each league city gets dropped down into, I will be deducting the winning team of the 22/23 seasons points won from their total. So for example if the Premier League's leader had won by 100 points they would have 1050 remaining going into the Championship. Ok? Lets go x
The National League
The first 5 official tiers of the English National Leagues. This one isnt a question of how far they will go down, but more one of how quickly.
Premier League
Winners: Man City (89 Points)
Championship
Winners: Burnley (101 Points)
League 1
Winners: Plymouth (101 Points)
League 2
Winners: Leyton Orient (91 Points)
National League
Winners: Wrexham (111 Points)
Total League points: 493
City Points left to deduct: 657
Non League Football (Steps 2-7)
So now we enter the amateur leagues, where most players are part time footballers at best and full time plumbers at worst. A lot of these leagues are geographical in nature, so I used any teams located in Greater Manchester as a basis for where they would likely get sent to. This investigation had me looking up where Kettering is. I deserve a raise.
National League North
Winners: AFC Fylde (95 Points)
Northern Premier League Premier Division (a fucking mouthful)
Winners: South Shields (85 Points)
Northern Premier League Division One West
Winners: Macclesfield (90 Points)
North West Counties League Premier Division
Winners: Vauxhall Motors (95 Points) (yes thats their genuine name)
North West Counties Division One South
Winners: Wythenshawe (93 Points)
Manchester Football League Premier Division
Winners: Rochdale Sacred Heart (67 Points) (I've been to Rochdale, there is nothing sacred about it)
Uh-Oh
And with that. Manchester City are now officially outside of the National League System. After a glorious 131 years in the Football League its bye-bye to the FA and hello to... well... im unsure really...
Total League Points: 1018
City Points left to deduct: 132
Non League Non Feeder Football (Step 8 and beyond)
Now we will be heading into leagues outside the feeder system and into the terrifying unknown. Be prepared to see some horrific names.
Manchester Football League Division One
Winners: Govan & University of Manchester (65 Points)
Manchester Football League Division Two
Winners: Chadderton Cott (53 Points)
Oh? Whats this? Eagle eyed readers may have already figured out that city now only have 14 points left which means that whatever league appears next will be there final home for the 24/25 season. Brilliant! Except even the website nonleaguematters.co.uk (which I have used for this entire thing) doesnt have a list. So where are we even going?
Thankfully, the nerds at Wikipedia came through, and due to my expert knowledge of english geography I was able to deduce that Man City will next season be playing in the
Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division!!!!!
Woo!!! Congrats!!! It even has Premier League in the title!!! But how will City fair against their new foes? Will they manage to overcome the notorious high line of Roach Dynamos Open Age FC? Will Erling Haaland manage to get one past the world reknowned goalie of Old Blackburnians AFC (Sound bloke, used to see him at the local from time to time. Wonder how his birds doing...)? Only time will tell. But only one thing is certain... city are shite. Thank you and goodbye <3
Shakhtar sacked another head coach in like 3 months… and now Srna is the interim coach (while sporting director still)… and we play Barca away in 10 days lol
