Absolutely naive: it doesn't matter what the PL says if this goes to Court. So no, it isn't the end of it.
What is more pertinent is the comment from Jimbo - which is precedent (Tevez case). Precedent will be used in any legal case; however, there are other precedents which have led to points deductions, albeit outside of the PL.
The fact remains: if Jimmy Hill had signed an illegal player for another club and Sunderland had been relegated as a result, there would be uproar. let's not be hypocritical.
All these clubs have a very good case and Sunderland and the Premier League are on dodgy ground.
Look at it from the other angle: if Sunderland were relegated and another club has fielded an in eligible player, would Sunderland and the fans feel aggrieved. Of course they would.
