By the way, Everton also made every effort to comply with FFP, as I said above. Contrast that with Man City: one of their charges is refusing to cooperate with the FA. Nothing suspicious there…..
City and Chelsea have been up to all sorts to circumvent FFP. To their credit, at least Chelsea are holding their hands up and giving the FA all the documents.

Ten points for one breach, for what amounts to small change in EPL financial terms, seems incredibly harsh. They acted quickly too, when other clubs have been breaking the rules for years. It will be interesting to see how the likes of Man City and Chelsea are punished now. The bar has been set very high.HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

I wouldn’t be giving any credit to Chelsea, they’re only holding their hands up to historical stuff that they’re being very distinct about saying was all to do with Abramovich, nothing to do with us. All whilst they’re signing players to ridiculous deals so they can stretch out the yearly amortisation, and their owners have links to Saudi, who miraculously signed all the players they wanted rid of at high prices…

The Premier League says both clubs have confirmed they are in breach of the rules for the assessment period ending season 2022/23.

they appear to be taking a long time dealing with Man City for some reason
In February 2023, Manchester City were charged by the Premier League with numerous alleged breaches of financial rules. The alleged breaches span a period from the 2009/10 season to the 2017/18 campaign. The club are alleged to have breached league rules requiring provision "in utmost good faith" of "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position".
In August 2023, it was announced the Premier League is investigating Chelsea for potential financial rule breaches during Roman Abramovich's ownership of the club.

The problem is the way the system is designed, the bigger, richer clubs can employ armies of accountants, shell companies, arms length sponsors and so on to cook the books, meanwhile the smaller ones, overspending in a futile attempt to keep up, can’t.
If the English league wants to try and prevent a certain level of indebtedness, it’s need to be done in a way that is very easy to police, so whether that’s a wage cap, a budget cap or a turnover ratio etc that might help.

I was reading at the weekend that the Premiership fair play rules are all being revamped at the end of the season.

Financial Fair Play is the biggest joke in football.
Designed to appease the big clubs like Barca and Real Madrid. It's no different from the Super League.
How anyone can look at this system, see Everton and Forest punished while Chelsea spend £1bn and City are waiting years for any action and suggest it's fair is beyond me.
Total stitch up.

The hearing into City's case is likely to be in the autumn of this year.
The decision will be months later.

What should happen, is every trophy won should be stripped. The message that sportswashing and cheating will not be tolerated should be shown loud and clear.
It won't be however, and we might as well pack up and go home.

If this were a legal case, with 115 charges, both sides would need a long time to prepare their case. That's why it is taking so long to even come to a hearing.
Once the hearing has taken place, it's going to take a while to come to a decision on every one of those charges. That way, there's a better chance of a just outcome than just doing it quickly.

I agree that it doesn’t seem fair, but it’s not the biggest joke.
A bigger joke is Everton being bought by a Russian gangster, lying about that, spending something like £500m on players to create a worse team, and then trying to sell up before the ***** really hits the fan.
Football is dirty and corrupt.

That doesn't happen. It's bent and it should be punished. There's no smoke without fire.
They'll get a slap on the wrist at best but I've not doubt at all that it'll be swept under the carpet asap.

Just read they'll get the outcome of the next lot of charges against them this week? For 21/22
Over 22/23 season financial issues for last year, too. Operated with a £89 million loss?
Could be very significant for them at this stage of the season 🤔😳Last edited by LewysGot2; 01-04-2024 at 03:37 PM.
