I'm pretty much resigned to the opinion that the FA will throw not just the book but the whole library at Tonda, just as the EFL did at the club with expulsion from the playoffs.
A soft target to be made an example of and they can be seen to be tough on rule breakers while City and Chelsea either get away with it or get a financial slap on the wrist.
If the punishment is punitive then we as fans must not take it lying down, regardless of what the club does in the immediate aftermath.
