Definitely needs to be more than just relegation. Otherwise they’ll just bounce right back up and it’ll be nothing more than a very minor inconvenience. Plus, apparently they can’t relate them outright, but the league can apply a huge points deduction (like -80) that effectively sends them down.

I think it should be all of these:

• Massive points deduction
• Ban from an European contests for 3-5 years
• Transfer ban for 2-3 seasons (they have plenty of talent in the academy hopper already)
• Huge financial penalty (in the range of at last £50m or more), with subs of that money going to other clubs who were in the PL during their years of dodgy dealing
• A big fat asterisk next to so the trophies they win during that window of time, in perpetuity
