"What i do know about Reading, was that it was a similar situation with a dodgy stadium sale, as they knew they were sailing close to the wind."

But our stadium sale, however dodgy it may have been in your eyes, was ot subject of any penalty. So there for a start is a big difference in the scenarios of the 2 clubs. You simply cannot draw comparisons between punishments without understanding the charges and taking into account the circumstances.

If a murderer and a pickpocket were both found guilty of breaching the la, would you expect them to have the same punishment?
