DEBATE: Have Man City RUINED The Premier League?

A week ago, The Club's three hosts were arguing over how Manchester City should be punished, as we reported here. The question has moved on since. According to the video's description, the Premier League has now confirmed a guilty verdict against the club, so the show sat its City supporter, Buvey, back down across from Manchester United fan Adam McKola, with Rory Jennings, a Chelsea man, in the chair.

The description sets out the agenda: is Guardiola's legacy tainted for good, did City ruin the league by breaking its spending rules, and should the club lose its titles or even its place in the top flight? For a show that bills itself as a weekly dose of football debate, it is about as charged a topic as exists, and it pulled in a crowd to match. A new full-length video here usually ends its first day a little under 40,000 views. This one passed 179,000 in thirteen hours.

The comments came in faster still, roughly thirteen times a usual first day's worth in about half a day. Most of the conversation circles Buvey's defense of his club and one question above all: could Guardiola really not have known? Others argue over whether the accounting problems stopped in 2018. Many viewers bring up Liverpool's 2018-19 season, when they lost the title to City by a single point, and a handful of Aston Villa supporters object to their club being pulled into the argument.

The hosts kept the subject going on the same day with a short asking why Man City fans had missed the fan debate.
