Leicester charged by PL for failing PSR

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Yet the club with the biggest debt just carries on regardless

Having received a fine for minor breaches ...with no forensic reporting, surely breaches are breaches.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Exactly what I thought their punishment will be.
They will start their next season in the Premier League on -4 or -6 points.
Gary Lineker will be crying salty tears ,like Gazza did on that old Walkers Crisps advert.

Lineker has a platform on TV to highlight and call out FFP for what it really is and who is behind it but doubt he'd want to upset his paymasters.

I look forward to the in depth premier league inquiry similar to the witch hunt City have under gone, not holding my breath though.

Easier to gob off what about City.

Apparently you can break the UEFA ffp and still be inside the pl ffp.

 

[Grassland Blue]

I don’t know if the charges all these clubs face are different to ours, I can’t get that invested in it, but the more I see it all happening the more I can see us just walking away with nothing happening to us at all.

It’s all a fucking farce.

Just give every club a 4 point deduction and be done with it.....

I still don’t understand why it’s seen as ok for rags to owe their owners £400m for the debt the Glazers transferred onto the club, but if a club like Leicester or Forest overspends an arbitrary amount set by the PL they get points deductions.

I thought all this FFP shit was brought in under the guise of preventing clubs going under like Leeds and Portsmouth did? I don’t think spending £25m over a season will send Leicester or Forest into bankruptcy. But what if the rags had to pay off all their £400m debt in one season? Would they still be able to then go and buy £200m of players in summer?

Why can’t the likes of Leicester just borrow £400m and spend it on players, saying they’re in debt to a bank/owner, so haven’t breached the PL’s rules? How would that be different to rags owing £400m? I genuinely don’t understand.

Is it because these rules were contrived to try and get the rags to win the title most seasons and no-one is allowed to catch up? What am I not understanding here?

The PL/FA is corrupt as per the appointment of Masters involving Dippers and Rags.
Where is the investigation into the Rags failed UEFA FFP, surely they failed the PL one also.
What is evident is the PL more or less copied the UEFA FFP into the PL and very very quietly, at a time the Rags had key players contract renewals coming up and were about to spend heavy, they changed their own rules about wages increases (was a few years ago so cant remember the exact details) that allowed the Rags to offer new bumper contracts and spend a few hundred million in the next window. That stank to hell at the time (Like the Bebe transfer to the Rags) but no one in the Red top loving media even picked it up

Potentially Leicester, Everton, Forest, Chelsea and City all having some form of sanction pushed against already or in the next 12 months. Not to mention the likes of Wolves and the Rags potentially failing PSR on their next accounts. That’s give or take a third of the league, something fundamentally has gone wrong with football governance when we don’t actually know what the true league table is whilst awaiting sanctions being dished out.

All the football league and Premier Leqgue clubs barring the rags, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs need to look at breaking away from their respective leagues and form a new competition that has fair rules and looks after all 96 clubs not just a select few. It’s turning into an absolute farce and the game is run by two chancers in Masters and Parry.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I take it the PL can't enforce any points deduction in the FL? What happens if Leicester don't get promoted this season, and it takes them 5 years to get back into the PL? Are the PL really going to enforce a points deduction 5 years down the line?

It's a fucking shambles.

I have wrestled with the apparent illogicality of the FFP and P&S rules but finally I have realised the genius which underlies them. Those owners who invest/spend tend to find that the club does better and its value increases which only encourages them to sell up and "walk away". On the other hand stability is only brought by owners who buy profitable clubs and load them with debt. Any future buyer is unlikely to be attracted by a heavily indebted club but its annual profits can provide a decent stipend to the owners who will not wish to sell their cash cow. Thus investing owners, usually feckless Arabs are ounished for wanting to ride off into the sunset while corporatist debtors, usually all American boys, are rewarded for their honourable stance and gift of stability. Everton, Leicester and Nottinghan Forest have very dodgy, non-American owners and thus have to be battered into following "the ______ way" which is the only way to do things properly.

Would be strangely ironic if we got a big points deduction for our ffp charges and still managed to stay up because 3 other clubs got a points deduction too.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Leicester aren't Yank owned.

Nice shot across the bows for any PL votes next year.

Rags tax dodging for 2 years means they've had a sporting advantage and if they paid there tax bill they might of failed premier FFP seeing they failed uefa one

CFG did similar with MCFC and the $650m loan.

Yep am sure though he has to be paid up by 2027 unlike the scum who it's on the never ever

Same as Leicester cheated to get promoted and heavily broke EFL FFP but as they were in the PL, the EFL had no power against them and years Down the line settled on a token fine.
So cheat and spend heavily to get promoted, take the PL money and parachute payments and pay pocket change from all that money earned to pay a small fine, not exactly a deterrent to not break EFL rules is it

I wonder if the Sheikh/Abu Dhabi could sponsor, very generously, a competition which is only open to clubs which have been debt free for ten years ...
