After lots of contemplation I have decided what punishment I would like to see. I don't want them relegated. Instead, I would like them docked 40-50 points for each season they cheated, applied for the same number of seasons going forward.
That way, they have a fighting chance of staying in the league if they can keep a strong squad, but no chance of Europe for 9-10 years.

Doesn't work like that Prem and League have different rules. The ideal for me is a ban and reapply, but the football authorities don't have the guts. An amount of points deduction to ensure relegation just means straight back up, no punishment at all. A fine for nearly a billion quid cheat doesn't bother City.

Would like to see them get the same treatment as their near neighbours bury got why should it be different for manc than bury. Bury afc did well last year and won promotion from the north West counties Premier League maybe one day manc can emulate them took bury 6 seasons.

I agree but it won't happen.

To borrow an old movie line from the 1970s, "Send them to Detroit "
Seriously, a fine equal to the fraud and four years of 50 point deductions, applicable to all 4 leagues.
And a transfer ban.

It's history, let them off with a slap on wrist and warning but dock Everton another 10 points!
