I haven't followed this topic closely, but...
Isn't it the case that the rules committee is considering a change such that - instead of points deductions or relegations - clubs can invest what they want, except that financial penalties may apply. Should such a rule come to be, it's patently ridiculous that City would face points deduction/regulation for supposed violation of past rules.
At any rate, City will fight this to the bitter end - probably some sort of financial penalty is agreed upon to dismiss the charges in a win-win, save-face, "victory" for the rules enforcers.
That was March's idea. A luxury tax or some such nonsense.
Last month's idea was an anchor, but iirc with sporting sanctions or some such nonsense.
God knows what sort of nonsense will finally get approved in June.
