Trouble is it takes 18 months to 2 years to get a decision and you would expect they would ask that the decision against them be suspended until the final decision [ as City did ] meaning either League two would have to be suspended for two years or they would have to let them continue to play in it until a final determination was made.

Which maybe explains the remarks of a certain League two CEO who for weeks when talking about the uncertainty keeps refering to not knowing how many clubs there might be.

Sounds to me like hes been having the crack with his mate the League Two Rep.
The band on City was not suspended, it was for 2020/21 and 2021/22. City were found not guilty of the main charge.

The case took 4 months to be heard.

Macc have already entered into binding arbitration according to the EFL, which is what Cas is.

It was Maccs 4th offense this season, and they already had a previous deduction reduced, and they were clearly guilty as charged. They can't argue that the points reduction is harsh for a 4th offence.
