PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

And yet by far the most successful club in England over the past 10 years isn’t one of the old top four clubs so I’m not sure FFP has benefited them quite as much as you think. Our neighbours down the road, for example, could arguably have spent more money in the summer but were prevented from doing so not because they couldn’t afford to but because they had to get more players off their books for FFP purposes. A kind of delicious irony, given that they were one of the clubs who were desperate for FFP to be brought in as they stupidly thought it would cement their place at the top table forever.

Edit: Just realised that you’re a Newcastle fan, so I can fully understand your reservations about FFP. We were more fortunate in that we were already well on our way to smashing the old cartel when the rules were brought in, whereas Newcastle were starting from a much lower point in terms of revenues and league position when you were taken over a couple of years ago.

I’m sure Newcastle’s legal Department will be aware of the issues to, given the attempts by the old cartel clubs attempts to restrict our growth in revenues by bringing in FMV too. FFP and FMV are anti competitive and a legal challenge should be made.

Newcastle, last year appointed a lawyer to head up their legal Dept.

I believe, although I have no inside info, that they are building a case and if pushed to far by the old cartel will go down the legal route. As someone on this forum said the PL are not above the law.

Does anyone get the feeling that our punishment is imminent and the club are aware, which has had a direct link to performances on the pitch?

No, I just think it was very silly of Phil to try shooting from our own penalty area in the last minute

No. Even if it was very unlikely the players would know and if they did the news would have got out
