£26.9M: Loss To Newcastle United From City Sham
The £26.9m Newcastle figure comes from analysis by OLBG, the online betting information and comparison company.
OLBG calculated what Premier League clubs might have received in additional merit payments if Manchester City were removed from the league standings for the seasons examined.
Could Newcastle Claim Compensation?
The Premier League says the City decision is the most significant disciplinary case in its history, while legal experts have suggested rival clubs, players and other parties could eventually explore compensation claims.
But City's appeal means the case is far from finished.
The club insists the commission's findings contain serious errors and says it has “irrefutable evidence” supporting its position.
City's public statements of innocence and the latest reported threat by the UAE Government to withdraw billions of pounds of UK investment if the club is punished just add more drama to what is becoming a bigger pool - or should it be labelled a cesspit - of intrigue by the day.
Will Burnham stand up or bow down to what is effectively blackmail by the UAE?
Will the Premier League stand up or bow down if Burnham tries to influence a decision?
What“irrefutable evidence” do City have that the commission has already dismissed?
Will that evidence be accepted or dismissed on appeal or in a Court?
Is it possible that City could win an appeal or a Court case?
What will the severity of the punishment be if City are proven guilty?
What is the legal case for compensation for affected clubs on a guilty verdict?
If found guilty, hit with relegation, a massive fine, and huge claims for compensation will the Abu Dhabi group just liquidate City and walk away?
Where will this leave Manchester City FC - and especially their true and loyal fans who have supported the club since they were bairns and have had no part in this?
How many more twists, turns, revelations and threats are yet to come before this drama is concluded?

Disclaimer: No guarantee that a correct answer will result in payment.
Rumours are that the total investment into WorB promotions is now approaching the amount that City conned in their accounts and there is no evidence that any payouts to anyone making payments have ever been received.
WorB was unavailable to comment on the rumours - he is reportedly cruising in his superyacht somewhere in the Bahamas spending his day sipping champagne and opening envelopes forwarded from the usual address.
I’m currently taking advice from my legal team Haddaway and Shyte.
We at Wor B Promotions take great pride in our honesty, integrity and ethics.

It's a big dilemma.
Still, can't WorB just be expelled? No need for a massive fine.
Manchester is corrupt.
As well as one of their football clubs.

Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi company was given "first offer" over property developments across Manchester under a "sweetheart deal" with the city council, as reported by The Sunday Times reports.

“It was Man City's drive to buy success that was the primary cause of massive inflation in players' fees and wages, along with Chelsea doing the same, Every EPL club subsequently was paying more for players compared to foreign leagues. This is an unquantifiable impact.”
The BBC piece put up earlier...
Why would they choose not to also mention the huge increase in EPL broadcasting rights deals… that just about tripled over the period involved?
Every club around the world, knowing just how flush with cash the Premiership had become, raising prices for their players accordingly.
