Synopsis
Anfield Index Special continues as Dave Davis and Trev Downey turn from Manchester City's verdict to the potentially enormous legal battle that follows.
City can appeal, but where could the process ultimately lead? Dave and Trev examine the prospect of the dispute reaching the High Court, whether previously considered evidence could become another battleground and why City's legal team will be searching every rule and procedure for a potential route out.
There's also the question of time. With City prepared to challenge the findings, the pair discuss why this saga could continue far beyond the initial verdict and why the Premier League will need to ensure its case and procedures can withstand intense scrutiny.
Could City overturn crucial findings, escape through a technicality, or simply keep the process running for years?
The verdict may have arrived, but the biggest legal battle could only be beginning.
