I’m surprised Evertons punishment is as severe as it was, it seems ridiculous to me that breaching ffp results in a bigger sanction than some clubs have had for going into administration and that makes a mockery about any of it really being about sustainability.
There’s absolutely nothing to read into it about us though. Evertons was a clear cut case, as is Chelsea’s tbh. All it tells us is if we’re found guilty of all the charges, then we’ll face a huge punishment, which we knew already.
The rhetoric I’ve seen on social media today around “city and their fans must be shitting themselves now” is all from morons. There’s no reason to be shitting ourselves any more or less than there was yesterday. We’ve got very serious charges against us that are both very difficult for anyone to prove and highly damaging if someone can, as they always have been. That’s it. There’s really nothing much to say about it until the judgment comes.
