Manchester City are one week into the arbitration hearing into their Premier League charges and every time someone sneezes a new potential punishment is mooted.
They could be fined, or docked points, or relegated, or expelled, or made to play with their legs taped together, or forced to play their home games at Maine Road despite the fact it is now a housing estate.
