PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Apparently Everton could get half a point back through co-operation.
Half a point?

Who the funk is making this shit up?

I find it highly suspicious that the Premier League is mirroring the rags in how they run things.
Scattergun approach.
Ridiculous statements.
Being run like a soup sandwich.

Deloony has just kind of mentioned us in not so many words but more to do with the farce of these points deductions and how nothing has been said by the Premier League to keep everyone up to date.

Good point third para..
The rags seem to have recognized their own faults by getting Sir Jim and Omar B to run them like a proper business. Not on the Mr K level of course but a recognition of City Management quality.
The PL has Mr M to organize who was chosen to carry out policy decided by a trio including the rags.
Scatter gun is correct but surely rules should apply to all.

The point is that because City are capable of flexibility to adsorb ever changing City targeted rules, other Clubs are not especially when their income streams are stretched by Covid restrictions.

It's important to remember that even though Everton have been punished twice in the same season the punishment is for breaches in two different seasons. As it's also a three year rolling calculation the previous breaches will impact - you can't reset the breach clock as otherwise Everton could have bought Messi, Neymar, Rashford etc been in a massive breach - the breach figure could be reset and another 3 years start fresh but then they get a three year advantage of having Rashford scoring 7 league goals until they hit their three year limit and are in breach again.

The problem Everton had is delaying the outcome of the first breach charge. If it had been dealt with in the following season then Everton would have known how much they'd need to raise in order to not breach again.

It's interesting to me at least that when we claim the FFP rules were unfair we are told "you signed up to them so that is on you" yet Everton etc are being met mainly with sympathy and outrage against the EPL.

It's also really unbelievably important to repeatedly stress that City have not been charged with breaching the same rules as Everton or Nottingham Forest. It's also possible (or at least it should be) for the EPL to conduct more than one investigation. Assume though that it can't and it has to deal with one thing at a time AND City's charges have to be dealt with before Everton's breaches. Can you imagine the meltdown in 5 years time when the league takes 6 points off Everton for breaches 7 seasons previous?

The biggest problem of all that I think is evidenced by the absolute ill informed opinions being spouted around the place is that most people are incredibly short sighted and the rules are being changed reactively to counter teams like City and Newcastle and the perceived way they will receive funds. Everyone seems to know this so Everton and Chelsea etc probably assume they would never be found in breach - this is probably also why the clubs didn't have punishments already in place (why would they as the rules would only catch City and Newcastle). It's also why City are still being accused of breaching rules that we haven't even been charged with (IE PSR).

The whole thing is so obviously stupid but people are so committed to their own bias that the only way they can express themselves is by shouting louder and louder "what about City?" like it is any way relevant
