    I really wouldn’t be surprised if the clubs made a breakaway league. To be honest I wouldn’t blame them and would actually be in favour. They could even threaten it to get the Premier League to get their act together.

    F1 teams used to do similar and it worked really well

    As an everton fan, i am fine with the fact we have been punished if this extrapolates out across all other clubs and all other breaches. If its cherry picked action based on different clubs with little justification as to the way in which deductions/sanctions are decided, then its nothing more than a corrupt system. There is absolutely no reason for a club specific framework other than the potential of leniency to protect the sanctity of the premier league

    “Should Man City get the same kind of sanction?”

    PL: “Lol, of course not. That could cost them a league title.”

      Anything less than them getting relegated is unacceptable, the only way to fight back is to cancel all TV subscriptions to football 😂

    The only sportsmanlike punishment if City and Chelsea are found guilty is relegation to the bottom division and stripping of all titles won through unfair finances.

    The Calciopoli punishment for Juventus was just and right, the EPL need to do this or find the legitimacy of the league, and to a large extent English football, called into serious question.

    This is actually among the worst things about football I’ve ever read. At least with VAR I can chaukk it down to stupidity but this … It’s literally saying I know we punished Everton harshly but just so we know it won’t be the same for other clubs. (Chelsea and city)

    One thing that I think goes forgotten is the fact that Man City’s 115 charges only cover up to 2019. By the end of this season, Man City will have committed five more seasons’ worth of cheating and blatant FFP violations, winning the title in four of them.

    Will the Premier League ever investigate those seasons? I’m not holding my breath, but my god, they deserve to be relegated off the face of the earth.

    As I’ve asked in other threads about this - can anyone explain what the PSR rules are even officially meant to achieve?

    They’re clearly not about trying to protect a club from getting itself into massive debts that they can’t afford to pay. If anything, it’s doing the opposite - owners often have more than enough money, but are prevented from simply giving it to the club because these regulations prevent that.

    And they’re also clearly not about creating a level playing field in the way that NFL-style salary caps try to. The big 6 have vastly bigger spending power than everyone else because they have far more money coming in from revenue streams that the regulations see as football-related, such as sponsorships.

    We all know what they’re actually achieving - making it almost impossible for anyone new to break into that elite group. But that can’t be the official reason, and doesn’t explain why other clubs don’t force the Premier League to ditch these rules.
