PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[domalino]

I see Leeds, Forest and few others clubs are threatening lawsuits of £300m against the Premier League if Everton stay up and ignored spending rules.

Seems like something we could expect also.

They don’t have a case, FFP is applied retroactively.

The Premier League can’t look at Chelsea’s spending for example and sanction them because they can’t afford it - no one knows what they can afford until they submit their books.

Everton’s books were looked at last year and were just about OK, if they fail for this season then it’s a matter for when those books are looked at, not earlier.

Gonna need free version of that article.

Not sure I like the sound of it though, if we're going down that route?..

What amazing timing for a leak.

Just a coincidence.

Appealing prior to a adjudication doesn't sound like a legit process and more likely petty minded inaccurate shite journalism. Surely the process would be adjudication - disseminate - outcome - appeal

It's because the Prem have changed the rules on this recently, no?

Club allegiance factor.

Sort of sounds like city are accusing the PL of applying the current rules (which are different) to our past conduct rather than applying the rules at the time to the conduct. I could be reading this wrong mind

Mate, it's a fight for the existence of the club. If the legal team aren't going down every single route possible, they're not doing their jobs.

So we're challenging charges raised against us prior to PL rule changes.

Is this because the new rules are being applied retrospectively?
