A suspended punishment of some description, which will never be applied because the Premier League will change its own rules in response to City's legal challenge, and thus City will never fall foul of anything.

I'm going with being stripped of last year's title and a big points deduction.
Provided they are found guilty.
This should be very interesting.

The news of relegation to Conference North was too much for Mr Guardiola......  |

These charges aren't for any of the most recent seasons, so can't see that being a punishment. If anything it will apply to the seasons they broke the rules. |

I don't think it's in the interest of City, the other Premier League clubs or the Premier League itself for significant deliberate cheating to be reported. I think they'll be fined a few million for "minor inadvertent breaches".
Can you imagine the damage it would do the Premier League brand if it was unveiled that the dominant team over the last decade had achieved their success by deliberately cheating.

Whatever happens it appears that nothing will be resolved for at least 18 months allowing for appeals etc.

The only winner will be the legal teams as I can see this rumbling on for years, especially if City are found guilty.

Money talks and they have plenty of that.

Get yourself relegated - worked for Leicester. Too late for Man C though, they keep being too successful.

Probably a big fine, a suspended points penalty and told to mind their future conduct.

Striped of any title / honour received whilst breaking the rules... Simple

What should happen, if found guilty, is that they should be relegated down to league two. What will happen, if found guilty, is that a lot of brown envelopes will exchange hands, a less than hefty fine will be imposed and an Arab Prince will find enough loose change down the backs of sofas to pay for it!

( this is regular when sides get relegated to the championship as it is ) the other thing is this would involve the EFL and its really none of their business what city have done, new remember Rangers got relegates to div 3 but the league was all under the same regime |

Problem is the tail wags the dog at the highest level of football so it wont be allowed to happen by many of those businesses involved in the money making aspect of higher level football in England. |

Striped of any title / honour received whilst breaking the rules... Simple how would that hurt them ? it would be like town being stripped of everything that happening in 1979 like as if it would make any difference to anyone, I'd ignore it and laugh at it |

Probably reach February before they accounted anything , unlike politicians there won't be any leaks coming out before the outcome , appeals will be hard for them too for most of the charges |
