I thought the long grass charge was one of those where the rule numbers had changed from year to year and the PL got mixed up which year was which. Didn't they correct themselves later?

I think we did the correction for them.

The PL is basically eating itself. would not be surprised in the slightest if the ESL happens within 5.

Honestly wouldnt mind if it does at this stage...

I think that’s the ultimate plan of the club owners…

The idea being that we, Everton, Chelsea vigorously defend the charges against us and perhaps even initiate counter law suits that would either bankrupt the PL or at least lead to a major loss of confidence in the body by its members……and opening the door for a Saudi backed super league….in the manner of LIV Golf……

Starmer is a huge football fan and an Arsenal season ticket holder IIRC.

They’d probably get Diane Abbot back and on the panel as the ‘financial guru’….

No problem. The more it leaks, the better for the club.

I've liked your post but I'm not sure why! In what way mate?

The can of worms being opened by the Premier League, especially with the retrospective punishment of teams under FFP rules, will lead to its demise, in my opinion.

This is not being discussed in the media, because it does not fit their agenda, as they just require clicks/support from the Red Tops fans.

FFP I think will not last another 10 years and will certainly be modified dramatically.

Just wait for the Saudi League transfer window to open this summer and their might be the odd article against FFP. They have no FFP restrictions and can do what they want. When a golfer is reportedly being offered 500 million to join LIV, they certainly have the scope to inflict major damage on the Premier League/ Europe by attracting the best players over a sustained period (unlike China presently).

Perhaps the cartel wish to destroy/damage City and Chelsea before abandoning FFP?

The Legal implications of all this, also could have a dire effect upon all parties.

Reminds me slightly of Brexit.

I have to say I am sick and tired of this. Every time some new news story pops up my mates who support any other clubs start off again with the you can throw all your trophies and memories in the bin. Well I’m not going to whatever the outcome. I have faith in the club to have not done dim things, but I just cannot see how the premiership leadership survives if we get completely vindicated so they have to get something to land. Hence the extraordinary number of things they have thrown at us. Good that we finally have a date, bad that It’s still going to take an age. Doesn’t seem to be stopping great new players coming and pep staying and us winning so I guess let’s just roll with the punches. City ‘til I die.

Because leaks aren't going to hurt us in the case, but they reflect badly on the PL, its processes and its professionalism. Much as they did with UEFA.
