PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Talksport have now twisted his words on the news bullitin. "Stefan has said it will only end in one way. Relegation down to league 2"
How could the demotion work if the judgment is made part way through a season?

It couldn’t be immediate as the leagues would be skewed, so it’d have to be after the season had finished, allowing us to win the league again.

I can’t see demotion as a realistic option, barring by a points deduction, which would only put us in the Championship.
 
If found guilty we would and much worse than that as well. Stefan gets more credibility by giving a balanced view, he did say he doesn't think City will be found guilty.
He certainly did but no mention of that on talkshite headline news
 
What Stefan said was he couldn't see how it would be possible to prove such major allegations.
Not sure if I’m wording this correctly but since the crux of the charges are essentially the same as the UEFA charges (which were obviously later overturned by CAS), why would it be so difficult to prove these allegations, when we’d been found guilty before?

Also, if found guilty, we wouldn’t be able to appeal it would we?

What’s the difference between the PL case and the UEFA one? Is there a different standard of proof needed?

Is that not how it would work? Just a big enough points deduction to put us down a division? They don't control the Championship, so couldn't just move us.

It would be an impressive one - even at minus 60pts we still might stay up. Maybe they'll go for one of those sentences like they do in the US, where people are in prison for 150 years :/
 
Football fans are partizan and tribal. They don't really care how the authorities get City out of the way, but they are hoping we will become ickle City again very soon. The media are rife with red cartel supporters and they will continue to report clickbait headlines until this circus is over. Then they'll move on to the next ad revenue generating story. It's all bullshit. Come on City!

As Colin said, we could technically be expelled, I guess, but the burden of proof will hopefully be too high for us to be found guilty and so hopefully we never get to find out.

I was just wondering how it could work part way through a season.
