PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It's interesting and possibly a bit disturbing that @projectriver is saying that the latest Chelsea allegations mirror the charges we are facing. Clearly evidence is needed and they need to be proven but if found guilty then punishment could be extremely severe. The fact is that they haven't gone away and the process is still ongoing. The longer it goes on surely the less likely it is that the PL have nothing and we have been able to disprove each and every one of them?

Also interesting that, if the PL charge Chelsea, it impacts on an American owner rather than an Arab one.

The whole thing is ridiculous. FFP was the silliest rule ever devised. Anti investment while running up huge debts.

Ridiculous rule causes ridiculous problems. Who knew!?

The PL are attacking its own stakeholders under pressure from certain clubs who were prepared to leave them for a Super League!

The EPL was one of Britain’s few remaining export success stories so we have to ruin it.

You couldn’t make this shit up.

What it might tell you is just how difficult it is to prove this kind of thing.

It took a leak of all City's emails, and even then all they needed was for everyone involved to say "no", and City won at CAS.

There wasn't much talk of this going on at Chelsea while Roman was there (despite his background and links to Russian gangster capitalism), and it took a change of ownership, and even then a leak of bank records unrelated to the club, for anything major to come out.

I like FFP. It's now benefitting City and screwing all of our rivals. We didn't vote for it, we didn't want it. But we've confronted it, taken it on and are winning. All of those clubs and fans who wanted it are now lamenting it. Well they can get fucked. You reap what you sow.
 
From BBC webpage a reply to how we can top them by Mr K.
Seems it is more of the same with continuing investment.
Oh dear, how their "football is a special sector* argument has failed.
