“It’s always been meant to be about this time but current thinking is early April. In part because City’s head of comms is off for a fortnight and he would absolutely be around if it were coming.”
“Pretty sure it’ll be a fudge - guilty of some, not guilty of others. Points deduction that sees them finish around 15th this season and everyone moves on. Premier League chief exec goes but nothing retrospective and they draw a line under it.”
