That or expulsion really should be the outcome, but it won't be

and if they did go there then the lawyers would get even richer as it worked its way through multiple levels of courts over multiple years, during which time the points deduction would probably be held in abeyance.

Citeh effectively beating this rap shows the EPL sustainability rules up for what they are, an optional paper tiger.

Leicester might have an issue next season as well, isn't there an EFL case hanging over their heads for when they're back down?

In any event the outcomes in terms of who does or doesn't stay up are secondary to having some actual functioning structure around this stuff in place in English football. Part of "functioning" is meaningful sanctions with material impact.

I'd stick Citeh in National League North honestly but we all know it will be a fine, probably a big one, no points off, their owners will sub them in, it all just goes away. Which is s**t but also how it is.
