PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

We will surely pull the rug from under, err .... above, him.
The decision on the case City brought against the league makes me think the 115 won't be as clear cut either.
I think everyone is expecting an either/or decision. It might be we're successful on defending ourselves against some charges and not on others.
Then comes the arguing over who actually won depending on which charges were proven, etc.
That's what I've been thinking from the start. As long as we stay in the PL, keep the titles and avoid a silly points deduction, over, say, 6 pts, the club and many fans will be reasonably satisfied.
But if we are punished in some manner, the PL and the media will claim we have lost.
The truth is, our rivals won't be happy if the most they achieve is something like a 6 point deduction, a big fine and a summer transfer ban.

We have claimed we have irrefutable evidence of no wrong doing. If we get found guilty of anything bar non cooperation its a bad day for us imo.That's what I've been thinking from the start.

They can punish us for non-cooperation which won't be a big thing for the club and fans, provided the punishment is something like a fine and a 6 point deduction.

If we get any kind of sporting sanction and City accept it then I assume most will accept we lost. Not that I think that will happen.

They'll never get a points deduction over the line for 'non-coperation'They can punish us for non-cooperation which won't be a big thing for the club and fans, provided the punishment is something like a fine and a 6 point deduction.

Fuck me, are we back to discussing what level of sanction is appropriate? Because of the APT verdict that has shown the PL rules to be unlawful?

Given what we’ve heard from the APT case, City should be doing the PL for non-cooperation.They can punish us for non-cooperation which won't be a big thing for the club and fans, provided the punishment is something like a fine and a 6 point deduction.
Correct. The tables are turning and it’s the PL and cartel clubs that need to start worrying about what comes at the end of this process!Fuck me, are we back to discussing what level of sanction is appropriate? Because of the APT verdict that has shown the PL rules to be unlawful?
