And the rest!
At least this one can't go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, given that CAS decided that Man City (owned by the Abu Dhabi government) didn't cheat with their Etihad sponsorships. CAS reasoned that because Etihad (owned by the Abu Dhabi government) said so they must have been telling the truth.
Man City should be kicked out of the league. No doubt they'll just get a slap on the wrist though, and Everton will get a 10 point deduction

Let's be honest. City will get sent a strongly worded letter asking them if they wouldn't mind awfully playing by the rules in future or the FA will be very disappointed.

Whilst trying to see a comparison at Premier League Level, would I be correct that Chelsea were also a club with quite a number of charges levelled against them. What sanctions were imposed on Chelsea.?
In Scotland, Rangers were demoted three divisions as part of their punishment.

Rangers weren't punished by the league. They were wound up as an entitiy, and a new club was formed which had to reapply from the bottom.

A great deal different.
I can't remember the ins and outs of it but I believe that was Rangers starting from the bottom after going into administration and the liquidation. They were no relegated.
If anything it will be a Miguel Induráin scenerio, no winner of the premier league.

Rangers went bust. The club ceased to exist.
Sevco/Zombie Rangers were allowed to start at the bottom of the Scottish football league rather than being made to start again in the Lowland League, where they should have been sent to.
England have only ever been tough on little clubs. Bury were kicked out the league but when Leeds did the same thing nothing happened to them beat they were a Big Club. Zombie Leeds are now in the Premier League and making millions. Same with Coventry, they should have been kicked out years ago when they were owned by SISU but instead they’re back in the Premier League and also making untold riches.

You mean Lance Armstrong?
Indurain was never convicted of being a drugs cheat, even though he blatantly was. A bit like Pogacar now…
Only for another 8 months.

That would have been difficult as the Lowland League didn't exist at the time.

They’re also looking forward to playing City… and Grimsby, next season.

Because they couldn't, or wouldn't, guarantee that they could complete the season. They were not convicted of any matters of illegal payments.
You are using a selective view of recent football history.

Spurs will find a away to bottle it
The club didn't cease to exist. Real fans know that.
