Among football's boardroom and ownership class, all sorts of ideas are being dreamed up about the kind of sanctions Manchester City could face. One Premier League owner says it is "almost impossible to conceive" of a proportional punishment in points-deduction terms. There is no one consensus - everyone has their own motivation for the grand plans they propose, with self-interest inevitably a factor. We spoke to club owners and executives to find out what they think a suitable punishment would be for City if they do not reverse the guilty judgments against them on appeal - and why. 📝 @AdamCrafton_ 🔗
