As pointed out by @El Presidente earlier this morning, his new contract is (just about) 115 months long.

Cheeky!

£230M contract if that is correct. Surely he'll be able to find a WAG to love him now?

(Word of advice to the young man - make damn sure the pre-nuptial contract is watertight)
He has a girlfriend with whom they share a son. How many WAGs does one man need?

Why should the PL have to force the EFL to do it? City fighting their way back from League 2 to the PL over 3 or 4 seasons would be hight beneficial to the EFL. All this nonsense about the EFL not wanting City in their leagues ........................................pffft!
Manchester City have not broken any EFL rules, so they cannot demote them to League 2.

If he were a Brighton player, we would be creaming ourselves we've tied him down and pretty much ensured if there was a transfer bid, it would set the internet ablaze

A points deduction would be ridiculous (a fine even more so) and completely spineless. It would give the green light to Newcastle and potentially others to spend massively, win loads, and then do a year in the Championship as a penance; they would even factor it in to their plans.

So I think you're right.
Surely it depends how many points?

30 would be spineless, agreed. 130, less so.

I agree with a 30 point deduction being spineless. However there is little point in a 130 point deduction as anything over a 50 point deduction would mean almost certain relegation. It needs to see them (if guilty) being kicked out of the PL and having to apply to join another league. This should mean starting below the four leagues, whoever lets them in.

And having any awards taken away from them, but not given to anyone else.

Makes sense to have the best striker in the world, and potentially of all time, signed up for as long as possible.
