I'd back UEFA to do something over the premier league.
The premier league are concerned with one thing and one thing only... selling tv rights and maintaining the image of their brand. They won't do anything like ban or relegate city from the premier league because City, their money and all their glamour signings are great for the Premier League's image.
UEFA on the other hand don't give 2 shits about City and it's just a matter of how corrupt/scared they are, to see if they do anything about it.
The fact of the matter is the Premier league KNEW City were cooking the books for years and UEFA knew as well. And they were all quite happy to do £#%&! all about it. If us plebs on the internet could take a cursory glance at wikipedia and notice the correlation between state run businesses and their connections to the abu dhabi royal family, then you can bet your life all the £#%&!ing suits in at the head offices of the Premier League and UEFA knew.
The harsh truth is that nobody wants to poke the hornets nest because of the financial clout clubs like City have. It's only being dealt with at all because a German newspaper shamed them into some action.
