I hope owners around the league are mounting a push back against this "sanction" it doesn't represent a fair an accurate punishment for the rule infringements listed and the precedent was set for financial irregularities with Everton and Forest.

 

This much worse than a breach of PSR, It's circumventing those rules and stock piling players in an attempt to navigate those rules later down the line.

 

Equality of opportunity is a minimum expectation.


Parish is already drafting the campaign to say its overly harsh.

Different rules for cartel clubs it’s corrupt as fuck. Imagine this was us we’d be looking at much heftier punishment.

Would love us to do something to see what happens, then take a lawsuit against them if it's any harsher

I would hope every clubs legal dept is taking copious notes as the violations and punishments over the last several cases. As previously mentioned, if I ran Forest I'd sue for damages and biased decisions favouring only certain clubs. Seems like it's clearly not being enforced evenly across the EPL.

Remember QPR gettin a £40 million plus fine "after an arbitration panel dismissed the Championship club's claims that Financial Fair Play rules are unlawful."

 

Couple of years later they were deemed in the case related to us i think

 

Unlawful

Unfair

Unreasonable

Does it? Is it not just a similar principle but on a massively lower scale i.e the teams with the most dough have the most success?

Should be atleast an immediate points reduction like they did with Everton and European qualification ban for a few years so there spending isn't at the detriment of villa us etc.

Been the case since day dot but at least there’s not as much of an overt effort to stop other teams doing the same.

 

Ive been enjoying games at Leamington FC recently as I’m not far from the ground. Biggest club in Warwickshire. When you’re massive you’re massive.

Yeah, absolutely - but it isn't actively rigged against the have nots, which makes all the difference (to me anyway).

A nice slap on the wrist for Cuntsea despite over a decade of financial doping. Fucking hell, man 

 

£10 million fine and a suspended transfer ban

Fuck all will happen to Man City either.

 

The mantra of today's immoral actions, not just in football, is essentially "what yee gannae dee like?" and the answer continues to be nothing.

They self reported it when they found out during due diligence.  The offences were all under the previous ownership too.

 

Tbh, it's fair considering they reported it themselves as soon as they found out.

Bollocks, they cheated and  win trophies. Earned £100s millions of prize money along the way. A joke of a punishment. 

Should have been £300 million fine

They expected a fine of up to £150 million by all accounts.

That'll teach em! I think it would probably be even less pathetic if they let them off completely rather than fining them a drop in the ocean.

City are going to get a record breaking fine, which will still be far too lenient. Maybe they'll get a transfer ban. I'd be shocked if they get any sort of points deduction and certainly not enough to relegate them.
