I also suspect that there would be quite a lot of noise along the lines of “you’re preventing us fans of seeing our heroes haaland, grealish etc” too.

Sky need the tv revenue, so does the FA (is that who gets the tv money?), so there’s plenty if important stakeholders that will happily see it buried.
I am not sure this can be buried. Man City are a financial behemoth. Everton can't be the fall guys for what is going on elsewhere. Maybe this is why they wanted a super league so there could be none of this nonsense about trying to put a brake on their spending

I agree, there is no way they can now bury this.

If they've punished Everton pretty strongly, it's going to bring the Chelsea and Man City situations to the fore (already is) and put the PL in a situation where those clubs' cases can't be swept under the carpet.

My understanding and theory

I am confident that justice will be served.
Manchester City have been refusing to cooperate and they have used delaying tactics, this will result in only adding to the punishment.

I believe they will face thus in two years around 2025, and it is no coincidence that Guardiola signed a two-year deal extension and will leave in 2025.
After this time then Man City will face consequences. That's my reckoning.
They are not looking into Pep's tenure. The FFP issue are charges before that.
And it appears to be an agreement to protect his legacy before Man City are demoted.

What? As if anyone gives a fuck about Guardiola's legacy. The FFP issues include at least 2 years of his tenure, but the payments to the manager cited related to Mancini.

Be nice to see Jack playing out his days at Notts County, where it all started.

I believe Pep would not have signed if he hadn't been assured before taking his two-year deal extension and that Man City till 2025 are safe from punishment..

No one who he negotiated with has the power to promise that. What they can promise (and do) is to delay things for as long as possible and make things as difficult as possible.
