The bench smiling at the end of losing to us wasn't a good look. That was some roostery brick.

Pep staying probably a decent indicator as to which way the case is going to go.

Can't imagine he's signed on to bring them back from League 1.

Have the offshore cash transfers be confirmed?

Or it's a show of defiance (with a points deduction break clause).

They needed a boost and a good news story, this it.
The details of the extension is the important piece of the picture and they probably won't be released.

No break clause according to reports. Have said all along there will be no significant punishment. If they remove the card at the base of the pyramid then the whole house will collapse.

Simon Jordan said months ago he thinks they will end up paying a fine. Not saying it’s right that they get away with it, but I guess it’s somewhat of a middle ground between doing nothing and relegating them.

A fine to an organisation that print their own money is completely worthless.

If that’s how it ends up, City will be laughing their heads off.

I agree it’s not the appropriate punishment but better than nothing I guess. If it is a fine and nothing else then let’s at least hope it’s substantial like £100m or something. Pipe dream stuff I know.

Even that would amount to a light tax on cheating.

It will be a very hefty fine and points deduction that will not make it too difficult for them to qualify for CL.

Annoyingly it could hand the title to the Goons or Liverpool.

I don't think the points deduction will be this season, will be next one, so I think Liverpool will be the favourite to cash in.
Arsenal I reckon will start to slip.

I favour this. However will the other clubs want a review of trophies won? Whilst I don’t see the point - some clubs trade in that particular currency and it seems likely to be looked into fully.

I don’t care much for points deductions for historic errors- the people impacted change after all - a big ongoing fine spread over several years impacting psr seems to me to be a suitable punishment and carries more of an impact on the owners.

 

[Baleforce]

They should be demoted back to Div 2 at the very least.

And have a 1bn fine.

It needs to be both a punishment and a deterrent to others.

 

[Chrissivad]

I'm sure Everton and Forest will be happy if they only get a fine while they had points deducted

Football will mirror the real world, the rich get away with anything.
