I suspect that paying very expensive lawyers for an appeal that will undoubtedly last another 3 years followed by suffering a limp punishment of a cash fine and a suspended transfer ban will be judged as optimal.

I'm hoping the lawyers fees count against FFP too. That would seem apt as huge lawyers fees are not something a properly run club would be facing. And when do the fit and proper person tests look at the directors & leadership team?

They owned up to financial doping by the previous owner and cooperated. Whereas one of city’s 115 charges was obstruction and failure to cooperate with the investigation.

I would rather they had all the trophies they won during the period they cheated taken away from them. That would hurt more than a points deduction.
