The PL have failed miserably in this.

The first time that Man City had failed to co-operate should have been the point that they were expelled from the league.

The fact they are charged with doing this 35 times unpunished says it all really.

It reeks of incompetence & back handers

The precedent it sets is awful, almost an invitation to abuse the system and ignore the rules.

I dunno... they only have one shot, imho.

Waiting for a pointblank head shot with double barrelled buckshot may be the best way to go.

Time will tell, but I am optimistic for some reason

I hope you are right.

This has become the reputational equivalent of “ If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.” for the PL.

Ev and Forest had comparatively small breaches of FFP and have been quickly punished. City have been taking the piss for years.

Only if you're City, and potentially Chelsea. They don't seem to have had any problem dishing out punishment to lesser clubs.

Yeah thats where we are with this; if the commission find them guilty, then they will have to relegate them & i am not sure the prem have the balls to do that at all.

One big difference is that the likes of Everton admitted what they had done and did not lawyer up to the extreme.

Cheating ****s.

Look at their bench tonight.

Stones £50m
Ake £41m
Grealish £100m
Doku £55m
Ortega Free
Alvarez £14m
Nunes £53m
Bobb academy
Lewis academy

Sorry to play devils knobhead here but the Villa game we had:

Konate - £35m
Dom - £62m
Nunez - £70m
Tmiskas - £10m
Gravy - £35m

= £212m, around 2/3 of their bench cost. We’ve probably had £300m several times this season?

Granted they’ve likely had a half billy bench at times. And there’s no question they’re cheats.

Throw in starting xIs then? Plus it’s still 2/3 of the cost of their bench..!

[Buzzo]

Also - if it weren’t for us they’d be going for 7 in a row.

They will need to chuck one soon.

Did the calc so felt obliged to post.. just making the point that we have fewer excuses than most for not challenging properly.

PL is becoming a bit pointless nowadays, seems to be eating itself
