Rape isn't funny even if it's a male victim
Will be interesting to see how many points they start on next season.
I'm guessing it'll be -4
They're BACK
I don't think next season will be like this one where the bottom 3 have such low points so point deductions might be more dangerous.
I think 4 will be manageable but say a club takes an 8 like we have this season, it might be hard to stay up.
Still not seen our PSR number released so it's hard to tell as we don't know how far over we are
What period have you actually been charged for?
IIRC you spent the whole of summer 2022 basically refusing to sign anyone to stay in line with FFP and also spent months wrangling with Chelsea over the Fofana fee which eventually was 70m.
So you dithered, stagnated, got needlessly relegated and still failed FFP?!
Last summer Tieleman's wages went and you also got 70m or so for Barnes and Maddison.
Rodgers must've had some pay off!
For our last 3 prem seasons, our board budgeted for us to finish no lower than 8thWhat period have you actually been charged for?

The answer is obvious. We need a new division. It’s called 115 Live. You can’t be promoted to it, even if you win the regular Premiership. You need to be sponsored, branded, if you will. All the games are at the Etijad. But the stadium can be moved to various places, depending on the needs of the Owners. 115 Live will be a competition between various 11’s. All teams will wear different shades of light blue. The entire UAE squad will be involved. Airlines Club can play Bankers Club. Golfers Club will face off against Renewables.
The Attendances will be real plastic. 115 are really a kind of religious vision; an act of faith. 115 Live is 16 clubs in one, a whole division. No human managers needed, just the glowing overseeing eye of the Great Bald One, preserved in A.I. forever.

Ermmm...is this meant for the City thread?
Well let’s charge the small fry… what to do w big fish?
start by posting in the right thread ...
Theyve gotten away with it
No idea if the cases are similar/the same, but I’m sure Everton fans will be fuming
The PL shit scared of 115 FC, trying to go after genuine clubs like Leicester
First thoughts were to check the relegation odds. Was assuming they were made favourites to go down ahead of the season in part to their potential points-docking. Betfair has reacted, Southampton now favourites. Nobody else shifting yet.
Seems like the loophole is over jurisdiction when Leicester were outside the PL. I would imagine Everton would rather be deducted a few points and keep their PL status than endure relegation and the risk of not making it back to the PL to escape punishment. It does however open up the possibility that clubs down at the bottom of the table will overspend in the January window safe in the knowledge that if they go down they won't be punished and if they stay up they can take their chances with the committee and maybe balance the books with a fire sale.
Leicester were not in the Premier League during the time period they were being "punished" for, so that's the big difference.
Meanwhile Guardiola and the cheats rocket straight to the top of the league like nothing ever happened. 
No denying of the spending, just a case of they did it when they were not in the PL. So feck you PL!
Which sort of begs the question - why is it that the individual leagues (La Liga, PL) have their own FFP standards and not the FA?
What's good for a PL team is very different than what's good for a League 2 side.
Also, the Premier League and the Football League won't want to give up this kind of control to the FA.
It’s a joke init. All the smaller teams getting fined and punished left right and centre yet the real cheats get away with it.Meanwhile Guardiola and the cheats rocket straight to the top of the league like nothing ever happened.
This thread has been bumped because a smaller team has gotten away with it.
feck off with that.
Man City…. precedent set ?
Thanks both.
I would’ve thought that whoever has ultimate control over the premier league, would have the same authority across all other leagues in the English pyramid….but yeah, I guess spending limits is vastly different across the leagues (considering the might and wealth of the premier league) etc etc. Still odd that the PL would’ve charged them, unaware that it was sort outside of their jurisdiction. Oh well….i guess we’re going to come across a few of these stories if PL clubs aren’t careful with their spending.
No, because City wernt in the EFL when their offences were alledgedly committed
What a mess the whole thing is.
its a premier league rule, I don't think the FA has any rules regarding any kind of PSR/FFP, PSR in itself it a protectionist racket by the obvious clubs that have already tipped the financial scales with how the foreign TV money is distributed, I never understand why the other 14 chairmen are so stupid as to not team up and change the rules against them but they are too stupid to see what they could do
Yeah i believe so, hence outside their jurisdiction as you guys were in the championship when the supposed breach occurred I guess? Get your point of view. It’s an interesting one, for sure.
That's actually piss funny.
It's like joker nord in real life. The burglar was captured on sight by the police, but he was wearing a red t-shirt instead of a black and therefore the police had to let him go.
Shows you what the rules were made for as they are so badly written
They can now change these rules meaning that the loophole is closed so if a club goes down this year with dodgy finances they'll get punished. It is a farce.
It is a farce. They were a member of the PL for all but a matter of weeks at the end of the time period in question - the three years up to the end of the 2022-23 season. All Leicester did was extend their accounting period to June 30th 2023, by which point they'd already finished 18th in the league and transferred their shares in the PL to the promoted clubs from the Championship. That simple move avoided the possibility of a deduction.
The PL should easily have spotted this loophole and closed it, while Leicester have got away with it on a technicality.
That is true, but it also demonstrates that the system isn’t very watertight to begin with. It will be perversely interesting to see which loopholes city manage to uncover in the upcoming trial.
Conspiracy theorist in me thinks they are doing this to be able to do the same to City.
