PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

This is the absolute crux of the matter.
The ‘history clubs’ feel denied and they won’t have it.
If we go back in history to the 63rd edition of the league (which was half the number of today) the most title wins were Arsenal (7) and then Sunderland (6) Rags, Dippers and Everton, all with 5
So the red shirts had 17 between them, about 27% of the titles available.

In the second half of the history of the league, from 1962/63, the Rags are on 15, Dippers on 14, Arsenal on 6 giving a total of 35 which is more than double the first half of football history.
Without City, they’d have won another 8 between them, which would have put them on 43. So, since 1962/63 they’d have won 69% of all top flight titles.

Even more starkly, since the introduction of the PL, without City, they’d have won 25 out of 32 or EIGHTY percent.

this is a huge part of why i'd sack of financial fair play rules in the premier league. completely.

the top clubs would still be restricted by the uefa financial fair play rules. that should be sufficient. why hamper our clubs on the european stage with additional domestic rules.

still have a version of profit and sustainability aimed at stopping clubs going bankrupt. so it would allow owner investment etc.

that way smaller clubs, no let me rephrase that, less successful clubs, can grow freely up until they qualify for europe.

newcastle would be able to build a squad capable of challenging for the premier league which would seem to be fair.

city would still need to satisfy uefa rules.

oh and if we're relegated for some unknown reason we'd be able to fund our resurgence :)

we might end up with more different winners of the premier league too.

i thought you were wrong on that so i went to check my facts and to my surprise you're dead right.

there are many links so just chose one for those that care modern-password-guidelines

whilst many years ago it was recommended to change regularly, that's no longer the case, as you rightly say. i wonder when it changed.

thank you for educating me that little bit.

i wrote some encryption code for our software years back to help with licensing and renewal etc. i might have to go check that isn't out of date too. although its point was more to make hacking attempts clear and deliberate rather than be foolproof

I wonder which takes precedent, not changing your password or changing best procedure which probably means changing your password?

Spot on!

And to amplify your point, between the 1958-59 season when the great Wolves side under Stan Cullis won the title and the 1971-72 season when Cloughie's Derby County won it, there were 11 different victorious clubs in 14 seasons, including ourselves in 1967-68.

When I was growing up, at the start of every season every team harboured some hopes of either challenging for the championship or 'having a run in the FA Cup'

The advent of television controlled football in this (and every other European) country, plus the accretion of power around those core clubs/the Red Cartel that drove that television agenda, has resulted in where we are today, as in:

- 'The Devil take the hindmost' (such as the rest of the football pyramid) as far as the enormous amounts of money generated by the game are concerned and

- 'Don't even think about it.. that moolah is OURS, keep your hands off it or else..'

Absolutely disgraceful how our national sport has been treated by self-interested, self-entitled clubs..

Interestingly, when those two smarmy wankers Pierce Morgan and Times scoop of the year Lawton put that hit piece on City over the alleged 30m Etisalat breach, David Dein was set up to add fuel to the fire but to the two tossers surprise backed our corner.
He fuckin knows being heavily involved in the Cartel Premiership creation.

Also, Interesting that arsenals first title was in 1931 and their 5th was in 1938. That can’t have been through ‘organic growth’ and today, they’d be up on charges…

They bought Huddersfield, First Division winners for 3 years on the bounce, pretty much lock stock and barrel. Not really organic.
