• Massive Points Deductions: A deduction of 40 to 60+ points. A sporting sanction of that scale would guarantee relegation to the Championship.
• Direct Expulsion: The commission can recommend immediate expulsion from the Premier League. This would require the English Football League (EFL) to decide whether to accept them into the Championship or League Two.

• Fines and Transfer Bans: Substantial financial penalties combined with registration bans, though legal analysts note that fines alone are unlikely given the scale of the findings.
• Title Stripping: While technically within the commission's powers, stripping past trophies is considered less probable because league authorities generally favor forward-looking sporting penalties.

What Happens Next * Sanctions Hearing: A separate hearing will determine the specific penalties.

• Appeals Window: Manchester City plan to appeal both the liability findings and any resulting penalties. The appeal will be heard by a fresh three-member panel.
• Timeline: Because of legal procedures, stay-of-execution requests during appeals, and potential high-court arbitration challenges, any enforceable sporting penalty could stretch well into 2027 before taking effect.

Relegation is a very realistic outcome if the commission opts for a severe sporting penalty or expulsion, but City remain in the top flight while the penalty and appeal stages play out.

What's your take on this? Do you want them relegated, or fined. Like for fines, and share for relagation.

“I want to categorically make it clear that Nigeria is on the right path. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Nigeria has finished making sacrifices for this country to be great again,” Tajudeen quoted the President as saying. The President acknowledged the difficulties Nigerians had experienced, but said the country’s 66 years of nationhood had also been characterised by growth, resilience and significant achievements.

According to him, Nigeria had matured as a nation and must build on the lessons of its journey since independence. “Any person of 66 years cannot be called a child anymore. Nigeria has become mature, even though when we reflect on the journey from independence to date, Nigeria was bedevilled with a lot of issues in the past, and opportunities as well,” he said.
