Of course, Manchester City Football Club still pushed most of the responsibility onto the extremist fans.

They issued a statement admitting that their work at the home stadium was not good enough, leading to fans constantly rushing onto the field.

But that was all their responsibility amounted to. Next, they pushed all the responsibility onto the fans.

Manchester City Football Club announced a lifetime ban for these extremist fans—forbidding them from entering the stadium to watch Manchester City games for the rest of their lives. For those who consider themselves ardent fans who love Manchester City, this was the cruelest punishment in the world.

Such a severe punishment even surprised many media outlets.

But Manchester City Football Club insisted they would not grant amnesty to these people because they had tarnished the Manchester City jersey.

In fact, they were just trying to get the Football Association to reduce their punishment through this method—look how sincere we are, right? Our handling is severe enough, right? So, FA masters, please be merciful and spare us this time!

But they miscalculated, and this may not be able to reduce the punishment Manchester City Football Club would have to bear.

Not only were they unlikely to reduce their punishment, but their actions also drew contempt and attacks from many media outlets—these extremist fans were indeed responsible and deserved to be punished. However, Manchester City Football Club's rapid issuance of this punishment decision was simply treating these fans as scapegoats.

Relying on selling out their supporters to beg for forgiveness from above.

Such an approach was too chilling!

Pro-Liverpool media hyped this concept and used it to attack Manchester City Football Club for being inhumane and not a team worthy of fans' wholehearted love.

This approach was like cutting off the fuel supply. It made Manchester City Football Club panic and become greatly annoyed. In their hearts, they didn't know how many times they had cursed the Liverpool media.

But now they couldn't care less about retaliating against the Liverpool media. They were already in a state of utter chaos.

Indeed, some Manchester City fans left messages on the Manchester City official website criticizing the club for rushing to push those fans out to their deaths. In their view, those people were heroes among the fans. Not only should they not be used as scapegoats, but they should also be treated as meritorious contributors by the club.

Some Manchester City fans simply dug up the old story of the Middle Easterners acquiring Manchester City, saying that the root of the problem was that these Arabs simply did not understand the traditional culture of English football, so they would do such a chilling thing. They called on Manchester City fans to resist these Middle Easterners and drive this group of idiots who had nothing but money out of Manchester City!

So, during this time, Manchester City was really made a mess by its own fans. They couldn't really argue with Manchester City fans, because they had already done something that chilled the fans' hearts. They couldn't do a second thing.

They could only remain silent.

But if Manchester City Football Club's online director used the tool to check IPs to investigate the IPs of those Manchester City fans who made inciting remarks, they would definitely find that the locations of these people's IPs were all in Liverpool!

In fact, this was the Liverpool fans wearing Manchester City fans' disguises to do this kind of counterintelligence work.

Liverpool fans were most happy to cause trouble and block Manchester City Football Club at this time.

And if they really succeeded in inciting the situation and caused the Middle Easterners to withdraw from Manchester City, then this team, which had always been able to appear in the top group of the Premier League in the past dozen seasons, would be completely reduced to a second-rate or even third-rate team, or even be relegated.

What could be more enjoyable than forcing your mortal enemy to be relegated?

Liverpool fans had great ambitions...

This was of course from the Liverpool "Red Giant Bear" fan organization.

This time, the actions of Manchester City fans at home angered the Red Giant Bear. They were no longer just going to show the other side a little color. They directly planned to help Manchester City change dynasties!

※※※

Manchester City Football Club was exhausted and battered by its own fans and "fans."

Despite this, they still hoped that this criticized approach could be exchanged for a lenient sentence from the Football Association.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated. At this critical moment, some people were destined to be abandoned. Just like they decisively abandoned those extremist fans and pushed them out as scapegoats, the Football Association also needed someone to take the blame, so as not to be criticized for "another conspiracy against Chen Yingxiong."

So this time, Manchester City became the scapegoat.

They treated the fans as scapegoats who could be abandoned at will, but they didn't expect that they themselves would also become scapegoats who could be abandoned at any time.

This is really the way of heaven...

The English Football Association took out the work efficiency of banning Chen Yingxiong for two years.

The day after Liverpool appealed, they made a ruling.

They knew very well that if they showed the slightest wavering on this matter, they might usher in a behemoth.

Even FIFA was unwilling to confront the International Olympic Committee head-on, let alone a mere regional football association.

So their actions had to be fast, and the severity of the punishment was also very heavy!

First, Manchester City Football Club was fined one million pounds for Manchester City's poor home organization.

Manchester City was not afraid of being fined. They had nothing but money.

But the Football Association's penalty could not just be a fine.

In addition to the fine, there were even more ruthless measures—first, a five-game ban was imposed on Manchester City's home stadium. That is to say, in the next five Manchester City home games, none of their fans were allowed to enter the stadium to watch the game, only the visiting team's fans.

This was only the first step. Next, in the next five seasons, as long as Manchester City played Liverpool at home, none of Manchester City's fans would be allowed to enter the stadium to watch the game. This penalty standard applied not only to the league, but also to the League Cup and the FA Cup.

In addition, Manchester City Football Club imposed a lifetime ban on those Manchester City fans who tried to rush into the stadium during the game. The English Football Association also followed suit and included all these people in the English football hooligan blacklist. Their names and detailed information would be sent to the police of various countries around the world, and they would be listed as football hooligans and prohibited from entering the country. That is to say, they would not be able to go abroad to watch games, whether they followed Manchester City Football Club to participate in European competitions or went to cheer for the England national team, they would not be able to do so.

Not only that, Manchester City Football Club only had the power to prohibit them from watching Manchester City games, but the English Football Association had the ability to do even more ruthlessly—these fans were even deprived of their qualifications to watch games in England! According to the Football Association's regulations, any stadium would not be allowed to sell them tickets, and they would not even be allowed to appear within a kilometer of the stadium.

For them, who were madly in love with football, this was truly fatal!

Perhaps those fans who rushed into the stadium with enthusiasm at the time never thought that their momentary impulse would bring them such serious consequences.

English fans are the most fond of watching games live. Watching games in front of the TV cannot make them feel anything.

Now, the rest of their lives can only be spent with the TV...

In addition to the Football Association's handling of these fans, the Manchester police also announced that these fans would be detained for fifteen days.

But this was considered light compared to a lifetime ban...

The above are all penalties for fans and the home stadium.

For Manchester City Football Club, it seemed that there was still no loss, and Manchester City did not suffer much punishment. If it ended here, then Manchester City could really be regarded as having escaped a disaster.

But the English Football Association would not let Manchester City go so easily.

The most severe penalty was coming.

Because the impact of this game was extremely bad, and the world's media were reporting on this matter, for a time, the impact of the Premier League and even English football suffered huge losses, so the English Football Association imposed a penalty of deducting ten points on Manchester City!

This was the bombshell!

Manchester City was already tragic enough. They had been in the top group this season, but in the later stages of the league, they were squeezed down by Liverpool, who had come from behind. Being squeezed down was fine, but their fifth place in the league was not completely impossible to catch up with. Even if they couldn't catch up with Liverpool, they could always catch up with the other three teams. As long as they could catch up with one, there was still hope of participating in next season's Champions League.

But now they had experienced such a bad game, which would be a great blow to their morale. In addition, there were no fans in the future home league games, and Manchester City's combat effectiveness and morale had fallen to the bottom.

Then they were deducted ten points, which was even further away from the Champions League qualification. This season was basically completely hopeless and considered a waste.

Manchester City had no room to turn around this season.

This was truly a severe enough punishment.

As for the referee Rodney, the Football Association directly announced that he would be banned until the end of the season, and because he made serious mistakes in the game, he would not be recommended to officiate this summer's World Cup.

In addition, the red card ban decision on Hoyle Eduardo was revoked, the red card punishment on Liverpool's physical coach Jerome Adams was revoked, and the yellow cards received by Liverpool players in the conflict with Rodney were also revoked.

This meant that Eduardo and Adams could return in the next game, and the yellow cards on those players who received yellow cards were also gone. They didn't have to worry about being suspended due to this yellow card.

※※※

As soon as this ruling came out, it caused dissatisfaction among the pro-Manchester City media.

They shouted that this was sacrificing Manchester City to curry favor with Liverpool! This was a naked deal! It was a scandal!

The Football Association sneered in its heart: I am currying favor, I am making a deal! If you have the ability, you are also qualified to let us curry favor!

A bunch of cowards, in English football, it is still our world!

Don't think that any team is Liverpool, don't think that any team has a Chen Yingxiong!

I tell you, except for Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong, we are not afraid of anyone!
