£200k fine with £100K of it suspended.
No one really thought they would throw the cheating ****s out did they?

Liverpool complaining that they didn't know the player was ineligible.
Using ignorance as a defence.
Should have been made to replay it.
It's about time that fines (and I know we'd lose out) were a % of turnover be it 0.25/0.5% etc. There's no punishment in that fine.
Evidence of what? That they don't want out of the league cup? Just listen to Pep talk before the game (he did the pre match, not klopp) and he gives an interesting insight to why Liverpool have no established senior backups for each position (the way almost all other top clubs does). If Liverpool are to progress and have the same depth that city has, they are depending on players like Ki Jana, Jones, Elliot and Brewster to develop into quality first team players.
That won't happen without games "at the right moment". So having the possibility to play 2-3 up and comers, in the early stages of the league cup and FA Cup, is pretty important for Liverpool as a club.
Get the distinct impression that the dippers could mow down their opponents with a heavy-calibre machine gun and there'd be diddly squat done about it. Their defence would be they didn't realise the gun was loaded.
