The PL acted in haste because they didn't like the idea of an independent regulator, i.e. the red tops panicked. They can now repent at leisure.

In Swiss law if I remember correctly. Would it be permissible in a UK court of law? I’ve no idea btw
Football365 have gone Football115.
City should play off a 690 point deduction.
Manchester City will “bounce back whatever happens” and “stand strong” in League One amid concerns they face “expulsion” from the Premier League over their 115 FFP charges.
Frustrations over the lack of action over City’s charges, brought against them over a year ago, are growing on the back of the sanctions of other clubs.
But a guilty verdict and possible demotion isn’t a concern for former striker Paulo Wanchope, who was part of the last City squad to have lost their Premier League status back in 2001.
He believes the Citizens will “bounce back” regardless of what happens and backs the fans to who “stood strong” before to do so again.

Crime and punishment
Just read your article on possible City punishments and none of them really fit the bill.
There is no point in stripping titles, it may affect the history books but nothing can take the AGUEROOOO moment away from those that experienced it.
The only proper punishment is one that will have an downward effect that lasts as long as the positive snowball effect of the alleged breaches gave.
That can only mean a points deduction for each of the alleged breaches if proven. Given the precedent of Everton and even at the reduced value of 6 points per breach that would be a cumulative total of 690 points. Applying this in one season is pointless as City would go to the Championship, play mostly reserves and still get promoted in one season. The first team could go on loan for a season to champions league teams and come back the season after.
Instead the 690 deduction should be applied on a cumulative basis for points earned in the Premier League only. That means each time City get promoted they start with the outstanding balance of points from their last premier league season, for example say City get 80 points this season, points deduction applied and are relegated, when they win promotion to the Premier League the season after next they start on -610 ensuring relegation to the championship that season also but slowly over the course of a number of years they would earn enough premier league points to have worked it off.

Yes that’s true. In this circumstance I’d say probably yes, but I’m sure we’ll be challenging it again.
