This is some kind of clownery, and the timing is such that it might be better if the initial decision on the 10-point penalty remained unchanged. In conditions where your position in the standings is constantly changing (regardless of you), it is probably difficult to maintain psychological stability.
But the main point of the clownery is that, as I understand it, those facts of violations by the City and Chelsea will never be considered.

Man City have 115 violations, yes ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN. There is a court date set for their trial next year but it’s not public yet. I think the reason it is taking so long with them is because how extensive their trial is. It is obviously a lot of hard work for the PL to gather all evidence and make it bulletproof.

Also Everton cooperated wth the investigation and their breaches. Man City have been delaying and not cooperating. I assume their penalties are going to be a lot more severe.

If they are found guilty it sure as hell will put a lot of jeopardy on their previously won titles, could there be a possibility not just points deductions but also striping them of one or two titles if they had won multiple title during the years of these violation ?

That'd be some significant dent on Guardiola's Résumé with City.
