The loophole through which they escaped won't be available to the denizens of the Emptyhad. Leicester have got away with this solely because (if you can believe it) relegation removed them from the jurisdiction of the Premier League by the time it imposed their punishment on them.
That said, the appeal panel was critical of the rules as they stand, so you can bet City's legal eagles will pick over the judgment in minute detail.

They've already escaped. They cheated to accelerate the process of building a winning team, buying success. They did that.
Even if they stripped them of titles, which they won't, it would render years of the league as officially meaningless as it was in practice. Everything that happened happened, and it all didn't happen for their competitors. Shit parades that were and unreal parades that weren't. Even if they are relegated there are already little cunts all over the place with Haaland shirts attesting to their godless and corrupt upbringing.
They should do all that anyway, but it's too late. Anyone who really cares already knows and needs no judgment, anyone who doesn't really care, isn't going to care. They'll watch someone else for a year.
Guardiola will leave, as he would have anyway, his head held high, chief apologist for the regime, taking a moral stand the way he always said he would if forced to. Their actual supporters, in their dozens, will become even more insular and small
There won't be equivalent justice for this big farce.
Still, I'll take anything.

That's all true. We've been robbed of lifelong, tell-the-grandkids-about-it memories. It's sickening. And I will forever despise them for it, long after this regime is dead and buried.
But, if they're officially found guilty, they'll have to retroactively award us the 3 titles we missed out on by a combined 4 points. That can still happen. And we deserve that. And I'll celebrate it with nearly the same vigour as I would have at the time. Because we did it right. And fuck them.
That wall needs to read 22 titles, not 19. It should already. That can still happen.
It won't. But until that's official, I'm holding out hope for it.
