The premier league are also culpable to a certain extent since their

auditing has somehow managed to take 17 years to prove incorrect financial reporting in 2009.

Yes they SHOULD be punished, but to do so would not only incur a lengthy, costly appeals process with the risk of it all ending in nothing, or if the appeal fails then it opens the door to all sorts of counter claims from other clubs.
