PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

It is, but gives the particular regulator a stick to wield and thereby acts as a deterrent to future offending. Plus it gives the regulator autonomy when arriving at decisions around prosecution. They will be better placed to evaluate the merits of a prosecution, and can deal with the evidence in house, which should be more efficient and effective than the CPS (which is notoriously wank around charging decisions around regulatory offences) dealing with it.

And if it gets too much for the regulator after the charges are brought, the CPS has the lawful power to take over the prosecution and do with it as it sees fit, which includes running the trial and offering no evidence.

So overall perfectly sensible from a public policy point of view, imo.
The CPS is just wank. The Premier League are more competent. In fact, the CPS make the Premier League look like a slick operation.
