Liverpool and Arsenal are 2000/1 to be relegated next season.

Manchester City who are aiming for 5 titles in a row are 25/1.

They are obviously pricing in the 115 charges.

They must be looking to dock the 60 points or more then!

Man City are taking the premier league to court over its financial fair play rules.

It looks like they think the best form of defence is attack.

It's finally endgame for City. Even if they can win their lawsuit, they're going to find out pretty soon, that in order to play football, you need opponents willing to play you, and independent bodies willing to administer the matches.

And in order to play high-profile football of the sports washing variety, one has to occasionally deign to the institutions that control this sphere. In short, cheat within the levels of acceptability.

Now it would of course be a bloody good time for football to put its house firmly in order, and help prevent this sort of situation happening again. But no. It won't. That would be too easy.

I feel uncomfortable with Villa siding with Man City in this considering they have completely ripped the ass outta it. That said, there is of course some truth in the below statement. Football really needs to take a look at it's workings.  The City case will probably prompt this.

Aston Villa are considering legal action against the Premier League over its Profitability and Sustainability Rules, according to The Times.

Nassef Sawiris, Villa's owner, told the Financial Times the regulations are "not good for football" and "do not make sense".

The Premier League is already involved in an arbitration hearing this week after Manchester City brought legal action over Associated Party Transactions.

Villa have sided with City, who are owned by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour, in votes over the Premier League's financial rules in recent months.

Sawiris - who is Egyptian - is also moving his business interests from London to Abu Dhabi.

He said: "Some of the rules have actually resulted in cementing the status quo, more than creating upward mobility and fluidity in the sport.

"The rules do not make sense and are not good for football.

"Managing a sports team has become more like being a treasurer or a bean counter, rather than looking at what your team needs.

"It's more about creating paper profits, not real profits. It becomes a financial game, not a sporting game."

This is bang on.

Forests owners could easily cover their overspend that resulted in their points deduction but due to some rules he couldn't..

If the City owners want to pump their money into them, then go ahead, these inflated transfer fees work their way down to other clubs like Villa etc etc.

It's clubs that are leveraged to the balls in long term debt that need to be curtailed, the Uniteds, Chelseas and Evertons (pains me to say it) should be hammered for mismanagement that could result in going under.
