The premier league does need to be more clear about the rules.
I think what has upset a lot of people is that was all done on the quiet and on a need to know basis, if it was not leaked we would be none the wiser, I understand why it was hushed up, they were dealt a double blow, as they were punished by the Football League as well as Ji featured in the Milton Keynes cup game...Sunderland were in the Semi-Final when the punishment came about, and I believe 1 reason for keeping schtum about it was because the calls for them to be kicked out would have been huge and I reckon the FL let them stay in the Cup to protect the Cup, which again, I can see why that course of action was probably taken, booting a team out of the last 4 would have been a bit of a shitty way to give Man Utd a a bye to the Final...
Now, as for the League Cup, I was thinking
1. They should have took the prize money away what they had earned up to the Final
OR
2. Expelled from the competition next season
If Sunderland where in the Championship they would most likely get a pts deduction
