PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Astonishing that the teams directly above them may not know with a few games left what is required to avoid relegation.
This is beyond incompetance,but we all know why this is being rushed through.
They've just gotta win every match they can & not leave their PL survival down to the result of Everton's appeal.

The whole situation is bonkers. What benefit do the PL hope to attain by sanctioning one of their members, for an investment overspend their owners can afford to cover?

This isn't what controlling debt in football was supposed to be about.

Absolutely,the punishment currently on Everton is severe(again we know why),other clubs are left in a state of uncertainty,and the PL reputation is damaged.
A complete shambles.
 
Total farce. It brings the game into disrepute.

Add Forest to it getting some type of sanction, they wanted to put a decent effort into staying in the Premier League and establishing themselves. Should they do what Luton, Sheff United and Burnley have done and banked the money? It’s no coincidence all those teams are in the relegation scrap at the moment.

Teams not spending money will be dangerous for the lower leagues surviving on the trickle down of Premier League money. The likes of Masters and Parry are in the process of popping the football bubble which we’ve had in this country since the premier league was formed to protect 3 clubs in red and Spurs.
 
Only this. It's not the first deduction that will do for them, but the second. That is what has to be settled before the end of the season.
But then the incoming points deduction for Forest will keep Everton up!

It reminds me of the plot to a Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera. (At the end of the season, to decide who wins what and who goes down, we'll all be singing 'Defer, defer to the Lord High Executioner'!)

Farce.
 
Perhaps you should get Andy Burnham to write to them?
Andy Burnham seems to have struggled to get a response from the PL following his letter to them on the 2nd December 2023. In addition to my note to UEFA, I sent the Premier League 2 messages recently about the fact that they have not acknowledged that City have won the champions league on their website yet. No replies as yet. These football authorities only want money from the fans and don't feel that they need to reply.

Back onto AB. He is an Everton fan and I have not seen anything from him in support of City regarding ffp so I don't think he's going to help us much. However, I am happy to be proven wrong.
 
I would like to know how much utd failed FFP by compared to Everton. It really confuses me that they got a fine and others might get relegated or pts deductions. I dont understand the difference.

They didn't fail premier ffp it's more generous! Uefa one doesn't matter because it's always only a fine

We're charged with failing Uefa's ffp rules though

3. In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, namely:
(a) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rule B.14.6; and
(b) for Seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18 inclusive, Premier League Rule B.15.6.

so therefore United and any other team punished by Uefa are bang to rights and in United's case it's an open-and-shut case

Exactly it's the PL and their approach to FFP which is the more insidious of the two, due to the protection afforded to the favoured clubs whilst hitting the " small clubs " with points deductions which cause serious threats to their statuus.

The cancer is in plain site and Masters is the lackey of the cartel clubs and their envy of success that their performances on the pitch are unable to achieve.
