Would the FA or Premier League take action now over something that happened in August. Hope they do?

Yup, if the FA were informed in December and dished out an under the radar fine then I don''t see Sunderland facing any further punishment.

The real question is why are the FA dishing out under the radar fines for serious rule breaches?

The report states that they have already been sanctioned by the Prem league under the radar! Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Typical Mail - inflammatory headline bearing no relationship to reality. Any turmoil has long since passed.

The article suggests that the punishment has already been made, a substantial fine made in Dec. Mind you a 1 point punishment (all that could be removed) wont make much difference - but the legal challenges will be interest if they survive by that point - Jonathon Pease will be interested...

It seems to be within the rules that a points deduction can be avoided but the clandestine way in which this has been handled by both the prem league and the FA (for the league cup - they should have been automatically kicked out) shows that all our authorities bleating about alleged Qatar/FIFA corruption is hypocritical at least.

Once again our games authorities show themselves to be weak and obey rules only when it suits them. Simply embarrassing.
