Another great article by Martin Samuel making the cartel have it.

Forest proving this is good title race – but Newcastle and United should be in it too

Forest proving this is good title race – but Newcastle and United should be in it too

This could be an even better title race if clubs such as Aston Villa and Brighton were not handicapped by financial rules that only serve to maintain the status quo

Spot on.

The media will have 2 stories ready to go. Either, we're guilty, or we're guilty but 'got away with it'. I don't expect whatever happens there will be any use of words like cleared, vindicated or innocent.

If she floats she's a witch etc etc

They've already started with their government intervention narrative. It's the best face saving excuse they can come up with to explain why their Dastardly schemes to stop City are falling apart like a cheap suit...

TBF to them we had a lawyer who charged money to do his job, it was very unfair of us.

Oh Martin Samuel, the truth will come out.

If there were no regulations around profitability and sustainability or financial fair play, Manchester City would just win the league every year. That is the argument. It’s wholly false. Forest, who fell foul of PSR, are what can happen if smaller clubs are allowed to dream. They become a pest to all those who feel entitled. As for Manchester City, if they don’t win the league this year it won’t be because of noble red tape. It will be the usual myriad collection of factors including injuries to key players such as Rodri, or maybe the mental toll it takes to remain at the top. There is a reason nobody had won more than three titles straight until City made it four last year. Pep Guardiola admitted the celebrations at getting over the line were so great his players were still suffering the effects when they faced Manchester United in the FA Cup final. And if the fourth is the hardest title any team has ever won, then five is harder still. It isn’t PSR that might stop City running away with the league again — it’s football.
