Unless I'm missing something the biggest take away is that the independent commission aren't afraid to side against the PL. Which is hopefully a good sign.
As for the approach LCFC used to defeat the charges, it would still be described as City getting off on a technicality again, if City attempted to use it for for the Mancini payment or the false accounting accusations. So I'd rather that be last resort after proving: No related parties paid any of the sponsorship money after all. Mancini did provide the services he was paid for to a club in the UAE and there was no reason this should have gone on Manchester City's accounts. Have at it with the non-cooperation bollocks though.
