Best scenario for us is a compromise in my opinion, this will be more to do with politics then applying a rule.
There will be all types of lobbying going on internally, some clubs wanting the punishment upheld, some clubs wanting it reduced as they are skirting close to the wind themselves, others will see us as the canary in the mine for City. Then you have the external lobby, media, politicians, fans, sponsors stakeholders and TV.
The PL wont want to be seen to have an absolute climb down and you have to hope they underestimated the manure show and systemic consequences around the game our punishment has caused.
Best case scenario i see is we get half back in my opinion.
Wouldn't be surprised if the second charge we are deducted more for a second offence.
