It's a difficult balancing act for the Premier League but one that cannot simply be justly resolved with a double-figure points deduction or financial penalty. Relegated sides in recent years could be entitled to compensation for the Blues' retaining their Premier League status as their expense. But what about all the sides who have missed out on Premier League titles, domestic cups, and Champions League qualification? Ban them from taking one of the Premier League's Champions League places, hand them a record points deduction, and issue them with a transfer ban. It feels like in trying to show how serious they are, the Premier League have set themselves up for failure.
