I get the impression the PL just want all this financial nonsense done and dusted without much more fuss before the new rules come in.

They have been hopelessly ineffective at applying the rules in the last couple of years - weird three party transfers a couple of years ago just waved through, opaquely no charges for FFP breaches last year, no bad faith charges for Chelsea's asset sales and so on.

Yes, the Chelsea off-the-books payments should be a sporting sanction, but I wouldn't be surprised at some financial sanction fiddle on Chelsea between the FA and the PL - precedent set by FA, also applied to any of the less serious 115 allegations they can, by hook or by crook, prove. "What can we do?", the PL could say, "the FA set the precedent with Chelsea."

All sorted. Start next year with a clean slate and with Chelsea and City both out of the way.

I'm a cynic, me. Especially when it comes to football governance.

When do the new rules come in?

What's Adolf Hitler doing there.

It's the North Minehead by-election.

There are probably whole corners of the internet devoted to these - e.g. Sara Blizzard the BBC weather presenter

Nominative determinism it's called. New Scientist seem obsessed by it.

Good job our KC's first name is "Don't".

Wasn't it the other way around - a person's name derived from the job that they did? It seems to have gone full circle.

2075 :)

I wondered if it might be an important date with regards to the charges. A watershed moment for them maybe

There’s still Friday

It's never going to happen, best get used to it

We should announce the charges like this to that tune…not guilty, not guilty…NOT GUILTY

Tomorrow is Saturday, we'll all be taking a day off (or even two). Monday it is then.

I worked with Michael Hunt in retail.
We regularly asked for Mike Hunt to come to the returns desk, regularly, for a laugh!!

He was never a c***!
