[Albion] Vitor Reis - £20.7m cb with pace

Genuine question, IF Man City were demoted to the Championship as punishment, would one less team be relegated from the Prem or would one extra team be promoted from the Championship to keep the PL with 20 clubs?

I suspect that any relegation would be as a result of a points deduction, not an additional relegation. The EFL and PL are different entities so they can't mandate an extra relegation into the league below. If they're relegated, it would be part of the traditional 3 slots and on -50 points. It's why the likely relegation could only be as far as the Championship and no lower, unless the EFL also apply an additional points deduction

There is a brilliant explanation by a DULLARD which was on a programme with carragher and scholes and an audience where he explained why the premier couldn’t relegate them, but could whack them with 100 points deduction then they would be automatically relegated at the season end, BUT it was up to EFL to accept them. He explained that Everton and forest were minor infractions, but City was regarded as major, especially the abject failure to follow Premier league rules and treating the PL with contempt.
it was on Tic Tok , so I will try and ring the link but it was a brilliant explanation that had everyone hanging on @elpresidents word.

I guess the lad is in the position, where any number of clubs are interested in him, all but 1 of them have no prospect of being in the lower leagues for a season or two.

In my (ok, disturbed) mind it's like you could pick out anyone from the beauty pageant, but girl 5 may or may not have the clap. You go for one of the others right?

Not sure about that. Being reported by multiple sources.

Multiple sources whose income is derived from peddling shite.

So, for such a major infraction, could they maybe be banned from the Premier League for a number of years, rather than a points deduction?

That wasn’t suggested, but el pres was very clear it wasn’t a slap on the wrist that was being muted
