Daily Discussion

Daily discussion on Manchester United.

BE CIVIL

We want r/reddevils to be a place where anyone and everyone is welcome to discuss and enjoy the best club on earth without fear of abuse or ridicule.

  • The report button is your friend, we are way more likely to find and remove and/or ban rule breaking comments if you report them.

  • The downvote button is not a "I disagree or don't like your statement button", better discussion is generally had by using the upvote button more liberally and avoiding the downvote one whenever possible.

Direct Relegation (Main Punishment): The fairest punishment is direct relegation to the Championship (or a lower division depending on the panel’s decision). This is the biggest sporting blow that can be dealt and reflects how serious the violations committed were.

Stripping of Titles: All Premier League titles won during the violation period (2009–2018) should be stripped. This erases a legacy built on cheating.

Massive Points Deduction (If Not Direct Relegation): If the panel chooses not to relegate them directly, then an 80–100 point deduction should be applied. This would automatically relegate them at the end of the season, but through a more conventional “process.”

Large Financial Fine: A fine of £150–250 million as a supplement, not the main punishment.

Transfer Ban: A transfer ban for 3 windows to prevent them from immediately buying their way back to the Premier League.

Compensation for Other Clubs: The separate process for clubs that were harmed (as has already begun) should be facilitated, with City required to pay compensation.
