“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
At least 2 divisions
I'm not sure the Football League would have to accept them into their competition.
Rangers style banishment is the real answer imo.

I think they are going to come up with a hefty (and I mean hefty) fine. That will teach them for being willing to pump billions of their own money into the club.
A fine on top of points / relegation.I think they are going to come up with a hefty (and I mean hefty) fine. That will teach them for being willing to pump billions of their own money into the club.
teams like City or Barcodes - a fine, no matter the size, wouldn't touch the sides.

How about a fine of 30 billion quid?
It would stop them doing it again.
I doubt it. Abu Dhabi has around 10% of the world's oil reserves iirc.

I know, but it is wrong to think that these people don't care about money. They do. I agree that fines in the millions is the equivalent of fining me a fiver but if you start fining them in the tens of billions, they will sod off elsewhere.
You could use some of the money to settle the inevitable claims of the sides who missed out on champions league qualification or got relegated because of City.
I think the only possible solution here is to find them not guilty. I suspect that is where this will end......
Oh, my experience is that they do care about money over there. So much so, they marry family members to keep their wealth in their family...
Still, £30bn? a drop in the oily ocean
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I agree. That and City can afford better lawyers than the PL.
Shame really, I'm not sure how you can charge a team for failing to cooperate and then the PL admit that City did, in fact, cooperate.
