PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

So basically as suggested by @projectriver Everton have received 6 points for failing FFP and then a further 1 point per £5mill missed by.

My question would be how much are the premier league actually suggesting that both us and Chelsea would have failed by?
 
CAS didn't rule on any of the PL's charges, to be clear. UEFA could potentially have brought in the image rights payments, which were within the six-year period. But they seem to have been OK with this, so it's hard to see how the PL can land this
Maybe (probably?) I’m thick, but I dont see how UEFAs viewpoint is relevant to a PL tribunal

more importantly how are rags and dippers getting along with their ffp? How can rags be so self sustainable when most of the world have moved to gluten free and noodles stock has gone down? Anyone keeping tap of their spending and books when they haven’t won any major trophies lately ?

Because the PL are the FFP licensing body for the English clubs. So if we've submitted incorrect accounts, potentially that impacts our UEFA FFP compliance. Though I very much doubt that even the worst case scenario would see us fail either UEFA's or the less stringent PL rules.
 
There's one thing I don't understand, and I know the clever bods of Bluemoon will have the answers :)

How is it that the Premier League have FFP rules in the first place?

I assume it needed to be voted for by a majority of PL clubs. And obviously it suits the rags/scousers. But why did all the other clubs vote for it?

Vote for FFP = 4 or 5 "legacy" clubs.
Vote against = 4 or 5 clubs with aspirations to spend money (including City).
So a split vote so far.
For every other club, FFP means more admin, more scrutiny and less chance of ever becoming a top team.

Just seems weird to me.

It'd be interesting to know whether Everton voted for FFP.
