I believe if you break the rules, no matter what, you should get punished. This is no exception. I'm sure they'll try and appeal it.
Ironic though, you look at how many players they've bought in the past few years. It was a sign to buy as many as you can because you wont be able to get anymore for 2 more years :cheers:
On the plus side, it'll give the younger guys a chance to play if no one else comes in to full up spots.
