This is going to take ages. The FA has to work out if they are going to formally charge them. Then other bodies will have a decision to make. I know there's cynicism that a self-regulating body will open a can of worms but if there's evidence of theft the regulator themselves will be in hot water if they walk away.Cant see anyone having the balls to relegate the CL holders mate I really cant.
Surely as well, if they do get 'done', then wont we for our part in accepting the pay off?
Like Juve and Serie A?No way are Liverpool getting relegated. Would damage the brand too much.
It doesn’t compare with what Juve did, much as we might like to think otherwise.Like Juve and Serie A?
That's why I am not sure that they will even be charged. Huge temptation not to look at it. But if they are charged, the sanctions are potentially extraordinary given the nature of the alleged offence.
Relegation?
Mad dreams.
I know that but I mentioned it in reference to your point about damaging the brand.It doesn’t compare with what Juve did, much as we might like to think otherwise.
Not saying it’s not serious, as it manifestly is, but I’m certain they won’t relegate Liverpool and I’m not sure it would be proportionate to do so, based on what I know.
Liverpool should, of course, be held accountable for the actions of their employees, but any punishment should reflect where the evidence points in terms of direct culpability. I’d be surprised if anything pointed beyond the individuals we know of (our former employees).
That’s before you’ve even started on the preferential treatment they get as a club, which will make any sanction much less likely in any event.

If if gets as far as a charge, the sanctions will potentially be very significant.
