PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

SWP's back said:
Genuinely don’t understand the concern. The money Everton have lost is far great than the amount we’re accused of concealing and they’ve made zero claims the figures are incorrect.

It’s like compared apples and memory of Vera Lynn.

Is it though?

Apparently losses of £105m are allowed, but they lost £124.5m

So they've only over-spent by £19.5m?

How did the Rags escape with just a fine is my main question today

Because that was UEFA rather than the Premier League and because they didn't breach FFP by anything like as much as Everton have. Wolves and Hull City have had similar fines from UEFA to what the Rags have had.

Don't get me wrong, I hate that lot as much as the next person and I wouldn't be surprised if they've been stirring the pot to get us shafted - and if they have they deserve to be wiped out forever - but I don't see any conspiracy from the footballing authorities in terms of the level of punishment they received. I do believe much of the press are biased cunts who are up their arse though and would no doubt give them a much easier ride if it was they who faced the kind of charges that we face.
 
Its hard to get through to people that these are totally different cases. How stupid and stubborn are some football fans.

If we're guilty we'll be relegated I would guess now. (I say guess, i really mean just copied off Stefan on Twitter the financial expert City fan)

This just shows what hiring the best in the legal business can do for you, which Everton clearly have not. There was absolutely no need for Everton's statement to make reference to other cases. Our case is entirely independent of their own and should be kept that way. The essential claim of whataboutery is a very weak tenet upon which to lodge a legal defence.

Our case will be judged upon its facts and nothing else.

You're assuming it's aimed at us. It could be aimed at Chelsea who some believe will fail FFP due to their recent spending

It's caused reputational damage amongst our bitter rivals, but they don't sponsor City.

Istreee fans & the legacy media still hanker for the days when there was a predictable Sky Four. City, Spuds & now Newcastle have pulled that CL hegemony apart permanently.

Football is about the future, & young fans coming up only want to hear about the here & now, & not hark back to a time when football was watched & black & white telly's.

Everyone loves a winner, & few are interested in losers. Currently we come into that winner category. Eyeballs on TV sets is what matters to the money men, & few draw more eyeballs than City.

In this sense fans vote with their wallets & purses, & their eyeballs. Few are even bothered or continue to listen to the endless whining that City are oil cheats. That oil tanker set sail with the arrival of Pep Guardiola.

That's made me puff out my chest! I'm sure there's a GIF I could share if I was capable enough.

And if we are one day cleared it won't really matter, the fans have made up their minds because they'll believe anything that suits their agenda. And we're no different. I just wish sport was sport and we didn't have to deal with all the financial or political nonsense that seems to be weaved into every sporting story these days.
