PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[MillionMilesAway]

It’s shit though really, how do clubs gamble to compete with the big boys now? You’d have to be thick to vote for such financial limitations to your business, who on earth would vote for that?


Oh wait, the stupid clubs did.


Carry on …

Yes, it is.

Insurance against future losses from a poor season?

So Everton have been found guilty of an overspend averaging 6.5 mill a season over a three season monitoring period. How is that gaining much, if any, meaningful advantage? It just shows what a shambles FFP is.

Tell that to the clubs that were relegated last season and stuck to the rules!!

Instead of discussing Everton it's all about us as we knew it would be. I really hope our lawyers are watching closely.

All clubs where owners have tried to help the clubs invest...

Corrected.

If we’d been deducted 10 points at the end of last season, we’d have finished second by 5 points. If we’d been deducted 10 points last November, and the season had played out a similar way, do you think we’d have lost to Brighton and Brentford?

Everton have been told early in the season that there was a possible deduction of 10 points.
Once they know this , and its not a "surprise" at the end of the season, then it doesn't matter when the points are deducted within that season.
Its a different scenario if they are only warned at the end of the season.

Close to zero discussion around Everton... 99% of it is surrounding little citeh... but no one cares about us ;)

I'm surprised its not 115%

Yep. Don’t know why I bothered checking the comments section on the BBC article. Pretty much every one of them mentions City.

If we're cleared then this is good news for us, as it shows that penalties will be served if there is wrongdoing so no one can claim we've just argued our way out of it.

The funniest thing in all of this is the monumental amount of people talking about "nobody talking about City". Off the scale irony.
