They deserve everything they get, regardless of whatever the RS do. City have destroyed modern football at the expense of the entire division.
I think the rest of the scab six have had a big hand in it too.

If you don't condem it then you condone it. They are cheats. Pure and simple. All the whataboutery with other teams is grasping. If it was the RS we would be the first in line to light the torches.

I genuinely believe this is all being thrashed out privately in court with City's lawyers literally proposing suitable 'punishments' and the Premier League looking to come to an agreement that looks tough on paper (large financial penalty and a transfer ban) but in reality means absolutely nothing. After the Premier League's crusade against Everton nothing would surprise me from them. There will be non-disclosure agreements all over the place, and it'll cause hell when somebody, inevitably, reveals the truth in a number of years.
Prediction:
£100 million pounds fine, three-window transfer ban, ban from having companies affiliated with the Abu Dhabi royal family from sponsoring them.
What City would then immediately do:
Appeal verdict and have £100 million pound fine reduced to £30 million, have three-window transfer ban put on hold pending appeal (signing players in the years it takes to reach a conclusion) before it's reduced to two windows, and have Abu Dhabi-affiliated company ban reversed as it will be determined to go against current Premier League rules (where it is allowed). The Abu Dhabi royal family would no doubt filter a few billion to friends in the Middle East who go on to sponsor City in their place, just in case.
What will happen with City:
Nothing - they will be stronger for it having lashed about £400 million on new talent this summer, the financial fine will not affect them in any way, and the transfer ban will not impact them as they've been given time this summer to amass players for the next few years: wouldn't be surprised if they already knew of a transfer ban incoming.
What should happen:
All remaining Premier League teams should immediately take the Premier League to court for failing to award a suitable punishment (expulsion from the Premier League) and refuse to compete in any games with Manchester City. But they won't, just like they refused to change the PSR rules that are currently allowing Chelsea to sell their own belongings to themselves at hugely inflated prices.

Man City fined over £1m after breaking Premier League rule nine times during 2024/25 season
The Premier League sanction Manchester City over breaches of the leagues rules around kick-off and restart times between October and February last season; longest delay was two minutes and 24 seconds before the resumption of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford last December
Yeah, saw a quote from Guardiola saying he would ‘try’ to shorten his half time team talks. Didn’t work, as it’s two seasons in a row now.
He should have been banned from the dressing rooms at half time indefinitely.
A million or two fine is nothing to city.
I’m sure when they were dealing with us they said that a fine of any sort wasn’t a punishment.

Aye but unfortunately doesn't mean a thing as they make up the rules as they go.

They said a fine wouldn’t affect wealthy owners.

That's like me dropping a pound coin. Thought fines were no good for these mega rich owners ? Mr Masters must have had a change of mind, can't think why for the life of me.
