Points deductions and fines even stripping of trophies is relatively tame in comparison to what they are accused of. If guilty they have distorted the game and even if they are financially meeting the rules now that is almost certainly on the back of rule breaking in the past. There is no way around that, even if you kick them out of the league (Football League not just PL) they have the resources that they will immediately come back with promotion after promotion, Once back in the PL it may take them a few years to get back to the top, but reality of the situation is that they will. I have said before if guilty there is no punishment severe enough to come close to putting right what they did.
If theya re found guilty I don't see the stripping of titles (as it devalues the PL product), to be honest I am not sure they will get a penalty severe enough to see them relegated (Football League won't want their product ruined). It will have to be a points deduction harsher than Everton and Forest received but a team that is likely to get 90-100pts could probably survive even a 60pt deduction so...
