One year of not winning the prem is that punishment enough

No it isn’t, but the league will be able to sell it as a tough punishment and City will certainly never stop whining about. It will be a load of performative nonsense.

You can’t even read the titles of his books
The subject matter is often a little dry, so maybe zhuzh it up by making financial comparisons to the porn industry? Possibly replace the poster of The Cure with a different page 3 model for each video, and have some of your DVD collection on the shelves.
That's what lawyers would always say. You don't go in saying 'our case is weak we expect to lose'.
Interesting, thanks
Minimum of 2 years, 1 where they are relegated and 1 where they get promoted.
True, they’d normally say it is 50/50 if they think they have a weak case
Have not seen the evidence. Potentially half a million documents from both sides to review for the panel.
But even then they'd only say that in private to their client, right? I can't imagine they'd tell their opponent.
My word. That review could last a decade!
Re Leicester. They basically moved their accounting period so their year ended after they had been relegated from the Prem, and then claimed the Prem had no jurisdiction.
And are now claiming the high ground by claiming they stuck to the rules. Weasel club (once again).

In fairness, every single club is doing its best to get round the rules to suit themselves. I don't really see Leicester as any different.
I wish they'd throw the whole rulebook in the bin and instead just do a better job of distributing the vast sums of money across professional football.
A 70 point deduction at the start of the season would be exciting. They would probably escape relegation on the last day.

I agree with you, but the Premier League itself is an exercise in concentrating money in the hands of the few.

Re Man City.
Just from what i've seen and I admit this is online so may be biased but looked very thorough and convincing, Man City are bang to rights and will be found guilty of many or all of these charges.
My strong thought is that the independent panel will somehow arrive at a decision which docks Man City a load of points, but not so many they go down, and so avoids the worst case scenarios of legal challenges going across seasons etc.
I guess this would be about 50 points. So they get 85ish points, finish on 35, they stay up, triumphantly on the last day having come back from minus points at xmas, and all continues as normal. PL have got to look tough but don't have ongoing legal hell hanging over them

Now that he lives in Haywards Heath, he needs to pronounce draft properly (draaaaaarrrrrrft) otherwise he will never be taken seriously.
