Like they're going to deduct points from City

[Burney]

City's lawyers do tend to be quite effective unfortunately. Almost as good as the team. Just got to hope it distracts them a bit

Sadly, that's true. Although they only got off the CL ban on a technicality over timing and by a CAS vote of 2-1, so there's hope. What's very clear, though, is that football authorities have finally woken up to the danger clubs like City pose to the world game and are gunning for them. The PL is not pissing about here and the stakes are very high. If City get away with taking the piss in the way they have (dummy sponsors, etc), it's basically an admission there are no financial rules in the Premier League and it's a free-for-all.
