PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Ah I see! Theyre bases on a % of the leagues revenue, so they (theoretically) go up over time

edit: Domalino explained it far better than me

Thanks.

I like the idea of a percentage of the league's revenue more than each single club's revenue, tbh. More scope for smaller clubs to invest, I suppose.

Nope, I never said a word of that.

I said the Premier League is a collective of 20 companies each looking out for their own interests and doing so incredibly successfully, and that anyone who thinks 1 club is being singled out by the other 19 (or a subdivision therein) and is using the proposal of rules that woud benefit City and do net harm to the "cartel" to convince themselves of that is a conspiracy wack job.

Is anybody saying that?

Which is all a great theory apart from the fact it (a) didn't stop the new guys becoming good enough and (b) didn't relieve any pressure on the existing teams spending to keep up, United are the highest spending team in the league and they're paying record amounts to do record breakingly bad.

So either
a) we have the greatest owners and the greatest manager and managed to keep within the new rules and still take our place and
b) we sneaked in as the trap door was closing to get ourselves into a position to challenge whilst the rules were still drying on the page and
c) United are the polar opposite to us in terms of quality of their spending and management

or

d) We cheated. 115 times. Despicable oil club. Human rights.Everyone knows that.....

I'm pretty sure we all know we're on the side of the angels....

So the hateful eight or nine never sent that letter to CAS?
 
Lest we forget.

Agreed. The state of post war UK & the Labour government who didn't care too much for the establishment put paid to that.

Remember, the old money & establishment of the aristocracy & ruling classes were vehemently opposed to the post-war Welfare State & the NHS, but they didn't mind sending millions of poor working class folk to die on the killing fields of Europe to defend their state.

The parallels with this situation hold true to then. I can’t see the non-established clubs tolerating points deductions and fines much longer, together they will oppose the power of the red cartel and a more even fair distribution of influence will prevail.
