As satisfying as it would be to see them drop through the leagues, any EPL sanction could only apply to the EPL, surely? The EPL couldn't (to use your example) impose a 30-point penalty in The Championship, or League One, etc.I don't know, Minus 30 a season for 7 seasons could see 7 consecutive relgations. I mean, even with all the money in the world no seriously ambitious footballer is going to want to join a club starting in a relegation scrap for every single season they stay.
Or could they?
