PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Stirrings yesterday evening from Ziegler (not 115):

Premier League facing rebellion over proposed financial reforms​


Clubs believe votes over proposed squad-cost ratio regulation, which would limit spending on wages and transfers to 85 per cent of revenue, may be abandoned​

Article here:

"Under the SCR plan, clubs would be hit with sporting sanctions for spending 115 per cent or more of their revenues on player and agent costs"
 
Why don’t them cram internationals in either at the start or the end of the season for however long they need - 8 weeks or whatever the season is broken up with this nonsense and get them out of the way ?!?

It’s a toss up which is more boring 115 or international break ?
You think the clubs will give up the preseason money making tours? Don't forget that the rags had their first ever postseason tour last summer, although it seemed to be a resounding failure I wouldn't be surprised to see other clubs trying it in the future.
 
"Under the SCR plan, clubs would be hit with sporting sanctions for spending 115 per cent or more of their revenues on player and agent costs"
So there is to be a PL meeting next Friday, 115 has to be on the agenda and that makes tomorrow hot favourite for the waters to break - I'm calling it now:-)
 
Which part of it explains why?

The whole thing.

I.e the length of it, and the multiple clauses, sub clauses and elaborations of them.

And that's a point on the nature of it, rather than slbsn's narrative. Which I get he is expanding on for the layman, but even without the colloquialisms, there is juat that much to cover. And that's just on the process, not the content.

The 'Why' was omitted from the title for a reason. I once encountered a 240 page structuralist explanation of making a cup of tea - all of the panel process should have been contained within a reasonable timeframe and it hasn't. There are clearly extra factors in play here which are not described in the article of which the primary one I believe is PL lobbying for time to organise their damage limitation exercise. At a cost of further unnecessary reputational damage to us btw.
 
It doesn’t take this long to write up that we’re innocent.

We could be in for a horror show of a verdict when it finally drops.
It'll take exactly the same time as a guilty on all charges decision will take. Regardless of their decision, they have to fully justify each and every single point and leave no room for interpretation or doubt as to their thinking.

Not that that'll stop certain media from attempting that.

Do you honestly believe that if that was the case, that the club wouldn't be aware? Why would we not just say "sod that for a game of soldiers" and release everything?
