Imagine the PR gaff of having to retrospectively strip titles from a club. All the PL will do is wait for a season where City win the league by 20 points and strip them of 19.

    The way football is nowadays, I suspect there aren’t that many clubs fully and truly above board. Every single club will have performed some ‘interesting’ accounting over the past 10-15 years with all of the TV money.

    For city, retroactive punishment will create a logistical nightmare. If there is any on field punishment for city, such as a points deduction, we have to expect that it would be added to the following season so they start in the negative. Anything else really just causes an absolute mess for the years preceding and a PR nightmare.

    I suspect it will be a hefty fine though. And by hefty, I mean a few million but that’s nothing to city.
