I've heard there's a possibility that City gets kicked down to League Two with the net result being that club being "ruined." Similar to what happened to SMU and the death penalty. SMU took multiple decades to recover.
There's also a meme circulating of Lance Armstrong holding up six fingers side by side with Pep holding up six fingers. The implication is City has been financially doping the past 15+ years so none if their accomplishments should be considered valid similar to Armstrong's.
Cue an appeal up to the Court of Human Rights to conclude that these accusations violate the rights of the Abu Dhabi management group and all charges should just get dropped.
I'll be curious to see if the Premier League sticks to their guns and sees this through. But all the taking heads I'm hearing are stating a simple one year relegation won't be near enough given the announced violations and with guilty charges.
