"was the result of Everton IRRESPONSIBLY taking a chance that things would turn out positive"

That is curious language in the judgement. Was it really irresponsible?
£20m is approx 10 places in the league, spread over a three year period that's 3 or 4 places better off than they actually finished , which itself could be a simple as a couple of losses instead of wins.

What does this tell ambitious teams for the future?

He's heard what I've been telling the forum all along. That there are essentially just three substantive charges, plus the consequent ones deriving from those three (failure to provide accurate accounts, which then impacts PL cost control rules and UEFA's FFP).

The three are:
  1. Mancini's Al Jazira contract. Red herring and UEFA also knew about it in 2018.
  2. Image rights payments. UEFA knew about this by 2015 & it was resolved.
  3. Sponsorship revenue, probably the Etisalat contract that was time-barred. Again, UEFA knew about that and had agreed there was no issue.
If none of those can be proven then the rest automatically fail.

Multiply that by multiple rules and multiple years to get the magic 115 number.

There are 3, or rather 5 'groups' of charges.

But there are still 115 charges. You are right, if you can't prove a group, everything in it falls. But if you can, all the charges in it stand. It does not mean there are only 3 charges.

If you think any division outside of the Premier League would turn their noses up at City.

Rangers were disbanded due to tax reasons.

As for a Super League. City have signed a £250m fine levy if we tried to leave again.

You can’t come on here talking facts. Now let’s get back to wild conjecture and re-writing history.

Be a bit unfair if a league 1 side gets promoted and we come down and replace their position? That in itself would be a court case surely?

And in regards to the fine... i think if we got put down a few divisions, that 250m fine would be worth paying to keep us at the top so to speak?
