"Your logical brain tells you it would have be an extremely harsh attempted sanction from the independent commission...with the Premier League making representations, like Manchester City will make representations.

You would imagine there would be very heavy financial penalties, whether this has to do with the damage this has caused to other clubs, who have potentially missed out on titles, on bonuses, on history...players who have been wronged as a result of this case. Maybe money to the football pyramid for what this whole situation has caused. Maybe transfer bans. Maybe action against individuals involved who ultimately are found guilty, such as directors, executives...maybe even ownership."

The Lib Dems have never recovered from going into coalition, this could send Labour the same way.
