    So what will City's punishment be reduced to after they've been to appeal?

    A large fine and a suspended ban, that's what will happen. Or, to put it another way, no meaningful punishment at all.

    I think a 1 year ban from UEFA...it's what, if any, action they face from the PL that could be more interesting

    Agree with the 1 year, word on the street is that it's been conviently set at 2 so it can be knocked down. The PL won't do anything imo.

    There's mention of being stripped of PL titles

    I am still waiting for Barcelona to be stripped of their 2006 CL win

    Stevie G would be pleased. if they started re-writing PL history it would be the biggest farce since FFP itself!

    Then where would it stop. Teams would then all want more money for finisihing a spot higher and then CL/Europa League spots = loss of money.

    True but they blatantly cheated and then got caught cooking the books. Would rather it was Chelsea in the firing line though.

    Wonder how the City fans will react to CL anthem?

    The problem with a ban of this sort being enforced is that it could have a knock-on effect on domestic outcomes. Faced with a CL ban, there's nothing to stop City from playing weakened sides in the league and concentrating on other tournaments, thus affecting league placings.

    Their weakened team will still finish top 4, and until the appeal is heard they will want to finish top 4 to see if they do get in the CL next season
