Having predicted they would successfully to defend the Premier League title, Manchester City must suffer bad luck next season, which is prohibited from competing in Europe. That is, both the Champions League and the Europa League will not accept Pep Guardiola’s squad. Seeing such a situation, the decision to leave the city of Manchester is certainly not a matter of debate. In quality, obviously Pep needs to think about that opportunity. Being loyal might make Pep fail to maintain his reputation as a great coach.
That is, this is the next bad news if indeed Pep will leave Etihad because of UEFA’s punishment related to the FFP. Will Pep really leave? Where? Pep is predicted to try to accept the offer from Juventus. That is even if Juve really wants it. Besides the opportunities are there, and the condition of Manchester City is predicted to be difficult to seduce Pep to survive. In fact, not only Pep will leave. The players can just lift the suitcase. Like Sergio Aguero who could have realized the rumors of Barcelona’s interest because of his proximity to Messi in the Argentine national team.
Similarly, David Silva, who can return home to La Liga and retire there. Or Kevin De Bruyne who should listen to offers from other English clubs and outside clubs such as Real Madrid or Juventus. The only player who is predicted to survive could be Raheem Sterling. Seeing his performance this season which was not as good as last season, it is clear he must prove himself better next season, whether he was in the Premier League or not. In fact, if Man. City officially degraded, the player who should help The Citizens survive is Sterling. Because, in addition to himself being an English player, he also had to prove himself as a player who paid the Manchester Blue public’s confidence in him when he failed to shine at Liverpool.
However, there are consequences if Sterling must survive in Man. City, namely the opportunity to defend the England national team can be threatened. Given this time more and more English players who are positioned as wing attackers who look good. In fact, a Theo Walcott has the opportunity to return to the Three Lions squad, because it starts to appear regular and good at Everton. Likewise with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who has captured the attention of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. So, the opportunity for Sterling to the national team can meet obstacles. Will Sterling choose Man. City or national team?
The impact of Man’s punishment. City also not only affects the internal club, but also can affect the competition map in English competition. If you see this season, it is worth worrying about that Liverpool’s dominance will continue. If there is still Man. City and Pep alone Liverpool have been able to perform so well, so what if they are not there? Who can tackle Liverpool next season?
This is interesting to look forward to. Because, if Ederson et al. really cast down caste, then Liverpool will be very difficult to stop. If possible, the Liverpool will do it themselves. It could be due to “running out of gas”, or the survival of rivals with new managers, such as Arsenal with Arteta, or Everton with Carlo Ancelotti, also Tottenham Hotspur with Jose Mourinho.
Except, if Pep crosses into Manchester United, then Man’s chances. United to rise up and directly rival Liverpool’s performance can make Liverpool fail to continue its dominance in the English League. However, if this scenario is not realized, then the Premier League will be prepared to follow in the footsteps of La Liga, Serie A, especially Ligue 1 which is very PSG-centric. If that happens, then the experience experienced by Man. City this season will also be felt by other Premier League clubs, because they will see their competition no longer fierce.
This prediction is what makes punishment against Manchester City not worth celebrating. Because, their losses could have an impact on the quality of the league. Unless Pep wants to train a club other than Man. City in the English League, the chances of a fierce battle at the top can be realized. If that happens, then sanctions against Manchester City will not be a big problem – except for the Etihad Stadium public. Likewise, if Manchester City does not get a sanction of relegation alias “only” losing points or titles (2012), then they can still cultivate hope of building a reputation back in the Premier League.
But if this is not the case, then it is certain that Manchester City’s move, which has been called the new giant of the English League, must stumble towards the lowest level. They must build from scratch, because it is predicted that many players will leave including the manager and the coaching team. Sadly, the public supporters will inevitably return to being inferior in comparison with its own rivals who can still be considered more fortunate even though it hasn’t tasted the Premier League title for a long time. In fact, if the title Man. City in the 2011/12 season was revoked, then the right to achieve it is Man. United, because they became runners-up in that season.
If that happens, then Man. United has 14 titles and certainly will feel unique to be celebrated. Because, the players at that time have left and retired now. However, it will be an extraordinary mental generator for the public of Man. United because they are currently having difficulty building confidence as a big club in England.
Feels unique if you see what is happening to Manchester City. Because, the impact of what they do turns out to be widened everywhere, and this needs to be a vigilant alarm for other clubs who are and still want to do rods in the player transfer market.
