The problem you'll have by taking on Leterme is the AC chamber has given a more severe sanction that the one year the IC was said to recommend.
I'm not sure that is strictly true.
Indeed, many here have said/assumed as much. But given that AC Milan, Galatasaray and a few others have all been given a 2 year ban as the initial verdict, for FFP breaches, i can only assume that is the default (rather than the unprecedented harsh) position, for ffp breaches.
Interesting read, the rest of your post.
