PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It's all theoretical, as there are few, if any known precedents. But a good way to punish us with relegation would to be give a 100 points deduction. If the breaches were so severe that 100 points was deemed insufficient, they could apply a much larger points deduction.

Any number of scenarios might play out after that. The EFL might refuse to accept us. The EFL might accept us in their lowest tier. We might argue that the points deduction puts us at the bottom of the PL, therefore we should be relegated to the Championship. We might join Real and Barcelona and start a Superleague. Nobody knows, and it's all just speculation at this point.

A win for either City or the Premier League will have some cataclysmic fall out for English football and a knock on into European football. They try to deal with City with relegation it pushes the most successful club in the last ten years towards the Super League, if they don’t seem to be dealing with us the teams in red will be taking their bat and ball to the super league instead.

They opened up Pandora’s box when they implemented ffp and now with all the sanctions being laid out at Everton the rumblings of discontent at the people running the premier league will get bigger and bigger.

Exactly and this is the thing that I have been stressing to some Rags that I know, The PL have no power to relegate us to any specific league. The only other option that they have would be to expel us completely from the PL in which case we would then have to appeal to the EFL for membership and it would be them who decide where we would enter the structure.

However the key thing for me is this, how much damage would be done to us as a club if we were expelled and the EPL said we needed to start again in Division 2? It would be huge, the money lost alone by the time we returned to the Premier league would run over a Billion pounds.

Now imagine that we then appeal the decision and win, or better still go to court and prove FFP to be illegal under EU laws and then go after the PL for last revenue and damages. We would quite possibly bankrupt them. Therefore I see the worst that happens is a huge points deduction to relegate us.

I do wonder if they would try to do something radical like a total 300 point reduction but broken down into 60 point deductions for every year we are in the PL. This would guarantee that every time we gained promotion we would get relegated again the following season. No top level player would want to come to us knowing this and as such would basically ruin us for the next 20 years plus.

honestly some of people should write film scripts or stay off the hard drugs
 
IF(and it won't be) anything was proven and if it came as far us being expelled or relegated or whatever, with these new financial rules across the board, it would end up catastrophic for the club. Job losses, key figures potentially prosecuted.

But if we were expelled and the club was essentially destroyed, as so many want it to be, it would go against what these rules were supposedly brought in for. They are supposed to protect clubs and stop them from going into oblivion. Or so they said...... We know the truth of why they were brought in.

100 million points?

But imagine us "winning" the league, but being relegated due to the points deduction. The winners that year would be the ones with the biggest asterisk of all time.
