PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If I understand it correctly, any luxury tax is pooled and shared among the clubs staying within their means. Can you imagine the shitshow when it transpires that little old Citeh are beneficiaries of this pool at the expense of Everton, Forest, Chelsea, Villa, et al

A rag spending spree like some of the daft fees they paid for Hoijland, Antony, Sancho, Maguire giving City funds to go about their business. What’s not to like?
 
Remind me, is that the redshirts that have won 1 of the last 10 Premier League titles between them?

They're the ones controlling everything are they? The club in 7th?

And the associated rule that you're certain is aimed at us, was that brought in 6 months after our takeover to cripple our progress? Or was it brought in 15 years later when we'd already won 7 league titles, but 6 months after Newcastle's takeover?
Er…where did I say the redshirts were controlling everything? Once you start putting words in others mouths you are being dishonest.
PS Note: I do not believe the redshirts are controlling everything and I explicitly said “ I would not subscribe to that theory”

Are people arguing that? I wouldn’t subscribe to that theory but the fact that some clubs have more influence than others has leaked into governance:
- Masters was approved by just two of the redshirts.
- Proposed rules aimed just at us (Stefan Borson)
- City alone being ‘charged‘ by the PL with breaking UEFA rules. Were United charged by the PL after failing UEFA rules recently?
- How much influence did the redshirts have in formulating 115 charges?
I am sure there are other instances of which I am not aware.
Bernie being charged with racism, Garnacho not charged for a very similar comment.
 
The entire league or the the clubs that you're convinced are running things and yet have won 1 of the last 10 league titles?
I'll never understand why so many people insist on using "not winning the league" as some sort of evidence that preferential treatment doesn't exist.
 
Yes again, but financial success is not supposed to be the only criterion to judge the pyramid by, nor is looking at the Championship in isolation.
Smaller clubs are having a torrid time: Bury, Rochdale to name but two local to us. Further back, Brighton were only rescued from winding up by outside intervention, Luton too. Doncaster and others were taken over by criminals. Are Charlton still struggling?
On the other hand, as you say, Gov regulators do not have a great record so how to implement the improvements clearly needed?

What does Doncaster being taken over by criminals have to do with the Premier League?
 
...It's one of the most successful businesses and industries in the country.
I hear that the mafia also earned quite a lot of money through their industries and business dealings, but on deeper analysis I discovered that they were not so much of an example of a business model that should be heralded as ideal though.
