Oh shit I did not think that this would actually happen. Means that they’d be on -5 after 9 games having played almost half the games you’d put them as favourites in over the course of a season (Luton, Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth at home, Sheffiled United away).
Makes you wonder what kind of punishment Man City will face in 5 years once that investigation has wrapped up (let’s be real it’ll be like a relatively small fine and a transfer ban).
I mean, it still hasn’t.
It’ll probably be no punishment, their lawyers will drag it out until it’s too late to punish them
Just remember kids… if you’re not part of the illustrious Big Six™ that Sky Sports invented after we won the league, then the Premier League literally does not care about you.
Demands punishment while the likes of Man City and Chelsea have literally bought all of their success.
i remember talk of a big 6 back in 07/08 being liverpool, utd, chelsea, arsenal, everton and villa
Manchester United were actually fined for a minor ffp breach
I get why fans of smaller clubs would try to push this narrative, but we don’t actually know what is going to happen with City. There seems to be an acceptance they’ll get off with it for some reason, but if found guilty their punishment would be multitude times more severe than a 12 point penalty.
And Chelsea haven’t actually done anything illegal yet have they? Their potential breaches are in the future.
The point is that the rules have come in now that the supposed elite are established. Meaning they’re protected from any would-be challenge.
This is almost every City fans argument against FFP
Pretty sure the method Chelsea used for their early purchases under Boehly are no longer possible. The loopholes have been closed.
So if they did them now it would be a breach but when they happend they were perfectly fine.
Reason number 1 of x why state clubs should never been allowed
Chelsea was technically not a state club even if Roman got rich off Putin but that kind of ownership wasn’t healthy either. It’s one thing to level the playing field but what Chelsea did was first level the playing field and then build a giant skyscraper on top of it
A scary number of people on here are too young to remember but no one called City’s takeover state ownership at the time. Sheikh Mansour bought the club and it wasn’t until 3 or 4 years later, probably with the Qatar purchase of PSG that people started referring to City as the same thing.
Go back to 2008 and all the coverage is about the individual Sheikh Mansour, there was no sense that the UAE state had bought a football team.
Apart from when the EFL complete let your lot off over FFP breaches
Is it to early for Ken to be turning in his grave?
Everton will still survive relegation on the last day.
He’s one of the main reasons we’re in this situation
Boy i cant wait City to get fucked to! /S
Would put them on -5 if applied now
What should they do in the January window? Just accept relegation and have a fire sale of their best players?
Will still survive with how shite the bottom 3 are
Looking at your next 10-12 games there’s a chance you’d still be in minus points by February though as you don’t have a single winnable home game (unless there’s an upset obviously). So even though the bottom three are shite you would potentially have 15+ points to make up by then.
it’s an independent panel that is going to decide and this is what the Premier League is going to recommend to them for anyone who hasn’t read the article
It doesn’t say it anywhere explicitly, but from my understanding it would apply in this season
This season is probably the best one to have it since it has like 4 really bad teams so there’s still a chance. Any other season and it’s definitely bye bye
GIVE THEM A REPLAY
Would probably still stay up considering how bad the bottom 3 are but what a kick in the teeth for Everton when you compare it to the situation with City. Absolute joke.
This would put them 10 points away from safety as it stands now. I have no idea why you are so sure they’ll be able to overcome that.
They ain’t staying up with a 12 point deduction
Nah that much point deduction is absolutely massive
They’ve already got away with massively over exaggerating Covid losses, and selling the naming rights to their (at the time) non existent stadium for a huge sum. This charge might be a technicality but they’ve been absolutely skating close to the edge of what is morally or legally allowed for years now.
We didn’t sell the naming rights, we sold the right to be the first option. Basically right of first refusal.
Nah Everton are pretty bad this season too a -12 would be horrendous
That if it happens though which I doubt it will judging by what the article actually says
I feel like they’ll probably get 6 points in the end, but even that would be massively damaging.
They need to hire man city’s lawyers
Hope city is looking at this 1v115 charges come on
Everton could potentially face a 13 point deduction for FFP
r/soccer : How could Man City do this?
Lmfao this place never fails to be a salt mine.
Force them to adjudicate the Man City and Everton cases in chronological order.
Just call the Man city lawyer’s…
So I’m assuming City will be facing a 1380 point reduction
