The effect of this is ti say if you fail once you must sell players to avoid being punished again in the same 3 year window. You don’t even have to buy a player to fall foul of this. Can’t be right.
PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Love this bit of today's The Athletic article about Nottingham Forest:
"There is another irony, too. Last season, Forest were among the clubs who wanted Everton’s punishment to be fast-tracked. It didn’t happen that way. But the rules were amended to ensure that it would in the future.
"Now it’s us on the other end of it,” said Oldroyd. “To use a line from Only Fools and Horses, we feel like a turkey that has caught Bernard Matthews grinning at it. Knowing towards the end of last season that we were edging beyond our PSR limits, it seems a little mad that we pursued such a course of action. Now it’s us with a knife at our throats.”

The sheer, self-interested stupidity of Premier League clubs is simply breathtaking.

The season of asterisks - PSR rulings have created a PL campaign like no other
Points deductions and possible appeals have cast a cloud of uncertainty over the Premier League table

Last sentence is nail on the head. Every club is out to use the rules to benefit themselves only. Forest last season demanding action and now this season their head is on the same block.Love this bit of today's The Athletic article about Nottingham Forest:

The league is going easy on both Forest and Everton so that they can change the rules again next season and get the vote of confidence needed. Just enough to show regulation but with small nibbles only.

Any saying Forest and Everton are cheats?

Very, very few. The first 2 pages are almost exclusively about us which personally I find hilarious.
The first 12 comments were all about City.
He had a wonderful impact on the Premier League in the 90s, but the party line was always "what's best for Arsene?"Interesting to note that Arsene Wenger - a man who was hugely critical of our spending while he was Arsenal manager and coined the phrase financial doping - is much more positive about our club these days, no doubt because he's no longer having to toe the party line at Arsenal:
Inside City 459: Wenger visits the CFA and behind the scenes at Liverpool
It's Episode 459 of our long-running documentary series that takes you behind the scenes at our Club...www.mancity.com
He was as happy as Klopp to spin the poverty angle, despite it only ever being a maximum of 2-3 teams that ever had as much money as Arsenal.
No because nobody appears to care about them.. just obsessing about us
