PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

With regards the cease and desist letters, it's possible that they were sent out, but the recipients have perhaps chosen to ignore them following legal advice. I am no lawyer, but whilst there has been a press bonanza designed to satisfy the baying mob, City have done the treble and now possibly the double. Fingers crossed on the latter. Therefore, have City suffered financial loss because of the garbage reporting, E.g
Lost key sponsors etc. Possibly Not. Additionally, the recipients of the letters may have weighed up how much money they can earn from the usual click bait and compared this with the financial risks e.g. compensation, legal costs etc. Maybe they have taken a gamble based on a risk assessment of the potential costs. I have seen cease and desist orders when working in industry and one of the options is to ignore them which we did on occasion. Tolmie's Hairdoo may have been right, but the recipients may have decided to ignore them or moderate their behaviour only marginally. If they did go out, it will have been to the big hitters and that does not mean the Nottingham Forest WUM. Just a thought.

And we are still awaiting the results of the 115 charges for that.

It won’t stop them talking about it, it’s in the public domain,

I know I'm pissing in the wind with this, but I'd love someone to give me a coherent and rational explanation of how exactly these alleged breaches, which only go up to 2018, have an impact on how Pep sets his team up, and the technical mastery & genius of players like Rodri, KDB & Foden? What's the linkage between those payments to Mancini in 2010-2013 and Foden's 20 yeard screamer yesterday?

The only remotely rational linkage I've seen is that if we'd had points deducted, we wouldn't have won the league. But even a points deduction is separate to our on-field performances. Are Everton a worse team due to their 8-point deduction? If we'd had points deducted 2 seasons ago, would that diminish our achievement in the last 2 seasons?

And when (not if) we are cleared of the substantive breaches, will the media pack change their tune and acknowledge that we achieved what we did largely thanks to Pep's genius as aa coach, or will they still be trotting out the lines that we got off on a technicality, spent more on lawyers or be going through the PL IC's detailed verdict with a fine-toothed comb looking for any morsel that might support their view that we were guilty of something, regardless of how tricial that was?
