PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Total farce. It brings the game into disrepute.

Add Forest to it getting some type of sanction, they wanted to put a decent effort into staying in the Premier League and establishing themselves. Should they do what Luton, Sheff United and Burnley have done and banked the money? It’s no coincidence all those teams are in the relegation scrap at the moment.

Teams not spending money will be dangerous for the lower leagues surviving on the trickle down of Premier League money. The likes of Masters and Parry are in the process of popping the football bubble which we’ve had in this country since the premier league was formed to protect 3 clubs in red and Spurs.

Only this. It's not the first deduction that will do for them, but the second. That is what has to be settled before the end of the season.

They’ll suspend the 10 pts providing they keep their noses clean.

15 minutes later ……

But then the incoming points deduction for Forest will keep Everton up!

It reminds me of the plot to a Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera. (At the end of the season, to decide who wins what and who goes down, we'll all be singing 'Defer, defer to the Lord High Executioner'!)

Farce.

I would like to know how much utd failed FFP by compared to Everton. It really confuses me that they got a fine and others might get relegated or pts deductions. I dont understand the difference.

Perhaps you should get Andy Burnham to write to them?

Andy Burnham seems to have struggled to get a response from the PL following his letter to them on the 2nd December 2023. In addition to my note to UEFA, I sent the Premier League 2 messages recently about the fact that they have not acknowledged that City have won the champions league on their website yet. No replies as yet. These football authorities only want money from the fans and don't feel that they need to reply.

Back onto AB. He is an Everton fan and I have not seen anything from him in support of City regarding ffp so I don't think he's going to help us much. However, I am happy to be proven wrong.

Yes, it's a real puzzle.

Time for a vote of no-confidence? :)

The list of "charges" against Masters is growing.

A mass protest of fans outside PL HQ might help demonstrate where things are right now.

They didn't fail premier ffp it's more generous! Uefa one doesn't matter because it's always only a fine

The whole situation is bonkers. What benefit do the PL hope to attain by sanctioning one of their members, for an investment overspend their owners can afford to cover?

This isn't what controlling debt in football was supposed to be about.

The lunatics are well and truly running the asylum nowadays.

We're charged with failing Uefa's ffp rules though

3. In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, namely:
(a) for Season 2013/14, Premier League Rule B.14.6; and
(b) for Seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18 inclusive, Premier League Rule B.15.6.

so therefore United and any other team punished by Uefa are bang to rights and in United's case it's an open-and-shut case
