This is likely to be a bigger penalty than the one they get for 115/130.

I’ve mentioned this before, but it feels like the FA struck a deal with City, allowing them to bunker up ahead of the looming transfer ban. They’ve made around 10 transfers since January.

I expect them to get a two year transfer ban.

Yep.£2m last year.

They have improved from 22 delayed restarts to 9 last season.

The noise about this suggests that they will get a slap on the wrist for the 115 charges.

I did - although there’s a 50% chance it was a typo.

I know you guys have picked up the local lingo, but I am not expert in antipodean vernacular - I assume "subtle" in aussie land means "shite"?
