The article does say other clubs, and Chelsea did loan a lot of players to clubs in Europe, so maybe we are the only one in the UK, or more likely the biggest name in the UK

Well, there's a precedent - Everton docked 10 points for historic financial irregularities (it must be said, on a much grander scale than anything we might have been involved in)

Chelsea get docked 10 points they’re still in the PL.

We get docked 10 points, hello National League.

There must be some more detail to this somewhere as the investigative reporter has detailed how much RA gave stfc, not sure if it was listed in this shady Jersey company accounts or how they actually found this out with the link to us ? depends if the football authorities purely want to take Chelsea apart of want everyone that RA done deals with

Would we accept a 30 points deduction if we were guaranteed premiership football within 15 years😁

There might not be, one of the problems with some investigative reporting is the journo's are so desperate to get the story out that they only do half a job, albeit in this case as it seems almost entirely to be based upon a leak, it will depend the extent of detail leaked or just headlines.

Power left Norwich in 1994.
Placing Bellamy as about 15 (and obviously in the youth set up) whilst Power was 22 (and a pro)

Not saying there isn’t a link / friendship but not sure it was made at Norwich…but I guess you never know…maybe Bellamy used to clean his boots

That's exactly it, yeah.

A similar punishment to Everton would be ok. i.e. Swindon starts with a 10 point deficit, next time we reach the Premier League...
