PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Listening to the answer to your question you have to wonder why the non cartel clubs have gone along with the bullies.
It could cost them each 5 million quid and put at risk their ffp. All this because they are scared of the American cartel

Having heavy restrictions on spending and severely punishing any club not abiding by these rules makes it difficult for clubs outside of the established PL teams to improve on the pitch from owner investment, which helps said clubs to protect their status as a PL club and getting that sweet TV money. For a club like Palace (I just use them as an example, not pointing the finger to them in particular), its in their best interest that other clubs cant threaten their status as a PL club if they happen to get a rich owner. All clubs with owners that are not interested in investing significant money themselves and are happy with the money flow from just being a PL club will of course oppose anything that makes it harder for them to stay ahead of clubs with ambitious owners willing to spend money that are currently behind them in the table or the English football pyramid.

“Al Mubarak sat opposite Trump and Vance is a stark reminder that the 115 allegations involve a senior executive who is sat at the very top table on the global stage. It would take some craft for the Independent Commission to make serious findings of wrong doing against City that somehow did not involve the club’s Chairman since 2008. Al Mubarak, who celebrates his 50th birthday this year (like me, as Jim White exclusively broke on Talksport), is CEO of Mubadala, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds (AUM over $300bn). He also holds senior positions within the Government of Abu Dhabi, including as a member of the Executive Council since 2006, a member of the Supreme Council for Financial and Economic Affairs, and as the founding chairman of the Executive Affairs Authority. He has much to lose if he really risked it all to sign Roque Santa Cruz in 2009.”

It's like the **** is having a wet dream in public, what an arsehole.

If one club suing over relegation was worth £20 million then, what would multiple clubs suing over missed titles, missed qualification for Europe, missed prize money and relegation over multiple seasons look like now? The cost could be billions. Would Sheikh Mansour fund that? Would he retain his interest in the team at all? And if he and his funding went, what would City have left?
