It’s over a year since the 115 FFP charges were brought against Manchester City and we’re still waiting to find out the date of their hearing.
Frustrations are growing on the back of Everton and Nottingham Forest’s sanctions, though rival fans have delighted in talk of City’s ‘expulsion’ from the Premier League.
In that event, we can’t see their stars slumming it in the lower reaches of the English football pyramid and they will therefore need new homes.
Kind souls that we are here at Football365, it seems only right to save everyone the admin by reallocating the composite parts of that Manchester City squad now.

‘He killed my confidence’ – the players who turned on Pep Guardiola after leaving Man City
Stefan Ortega – Southampton
From 1986 loanee Eric Nixon to Angus Gunn, then Willy Caballero (alright, he was at Chelsea in between) and now Gavin Bazunu, Southampton do have a thing for signing Manchester City keepers.
Ederson – Liverpool
Watching a Liverpool fanbase work itself into an impotent rage at the mere prospective injustice of their brilliance going largely unrewarded because of potential financial impropriety, before then having to retract their Alisson versus Ederson hot takes, would be great fun.
Scott Carson – Real Madrid
Obviously.
Kyle Walker – Bayern Munich
May well be tempted again having supposedly ‘said yes’ to a move the summer, though that may have been him angling for a new deal, which duly arrived.
Ruben Dias – Wolves
A Jorge Mendes client, to clear up any confusion.
John Stones – Chelsea
Pochettino wanted to sign Stones from Everton while at Spurs and despite spending over £200m+ on centre-backs in the last couple of seasons, Chelsea need a couple more, and some experience wouldn’t go amiss.
Nathan Ake – Newcastle
Ake said recently that Eddie Howe has the “Pep” effect, whatever that means, but also insists they maintain “a very good relationship” from their Bournemouth days.
Josko Gvardiol – Liverpool
He said he “dreamed” of playing for them before his move to City, and that left-sided centre-back spot will soon be up for grabs, possibly sooner rather than later.
Joao Cancelo – Barcelona
Expulsion or not, he ain’t ever playing for Manchester City again, and he appears to be enjoying his time on loan at Barcelona, who will likely be able to snag him for a cut-price fee, with his market value dropping like a stone.
Sergio Gomez – Girona
It’s that, New York City or Melbourne City, which is not a bad choice.
