PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The Premier League wants to remain the best league in the world but at the same time it wants to restrain its members' revenue avenues? Make it make sense.

If the Premier League wants english clubs to ever have a strangehold on European trophies it needs to do away with PSR and let clubs put in how much money they want to put in.

There is an argument that the Premier League is currently in an almost unassailable position as the most valuable league in the World.

The TV rights are double La Liga, and more than triple Serie A and the Bundesliga. That inequality is pretty much unprecedented, and with the amounts involved isn't likely to be closed any time soon.

The PL has also gone from a big three, to a big four, and now a big six - all in the top ten richest clubs in the World. Elsewhere, while the superclubs are doing well, the gaps between the traditional big 1 or 2 in each league is getting even larger. While I think the PL has too many rich clubs for it to happen, France is a major warning to any league that allows an owner to put in money way beyond the rest of the clubs. PSG are now something like four times the size of any other club, but the league's value is pitiful, with PSG's yearly revenue higher than Ligue 1's entire TV deal!

The PL has the most money, the best players, and is still more competitive, with more "world famous" clubs than any other league. They're probably happy with the status quo (as obviously are the clubs at the top).

Trouble is they don't truly want those things. They are too short-sighted and are at the behest of the redshirt cartel whose success they perceive as being "good" for their "product", i.e ones that would bring more revenue. They don't want gatecrashers like Manchester City, and Newcastle United who threaten the Establishment's ability to make millions.

The thing is: the clubs at the top of the PL have to comply with UEFA FFP anyway, so you have a control on "big club" spending even if the PL completely drops their PSR. What that would do is encourage the next layer of clubs to invest to catch up with the top clubs. Imagine 8 or 10 clubs fighting for CL places every year ....

“Imagine 8 or 10 clubs fighting for CL places every year…….”

I imagine they choked on their dessert at the thought of it.

Complacency is a terrible affliction. In consumer markets it can send you from hero to zero in a flash.

And that some of city's charges relate to Mancini receiving money for a consultancy role in the UAE when managing City
Ferguson received a large stake in a racehorse as a bonus, which everyone knows about, and this was never questioned

Correct, Rock of Gibraltar went on to become a City legend :)
