Premier League 2023-2024

how have City gotten away with so far?

[J70]

If it does stick, Everton should still be fine given the teams at the bottom. It's probably a good season to get a points deduction!

So what did they do that was worse than City?

Not having a petro-state owner who can pump money into the club through "sponsorships" from companies owned by the same owner?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Fcuk knows. I suppose the charges have been presented I'd like to think they're deciding on punishment. In likelihood they're scared of Citys legal team...

If the charges are related to last season though would Leicester City not have a good case against them seeing as they were relegated just below them.

Aye whoever it was from few weeks back said the Ev be ok even with a 12pts deduction maybe not far away. Bottom 3 show no signs of improving.

These things often get reduced/suspended on appeal.

But if you'd 115 charges however....

So City must be above board or have better ways to cover (what most clubs are possibly doing to some extent) themselves

Everton should probably not appeal it incase it's lost and more points applied, as you said, ten points might work out ok, think they have managed 10 points recently, so not playing too bad, not great either though

I may be reading it wrong but it looks like Everton exceeded the 105m limit over the three years by about 20m.

If so, a single (average) player deal could have been the difference.

Better at "structuring" their financial arrangements.

No idea.

Apparently it was Leeds and Burnley who reported them!

And the year Leicester were promoted to the PL, there were various accusations made about their own irregular finances.

20m would be a 60m transfer on a 3 year contract.

The Ev might be lucky enough getting the 10 point deduction this season...Burnley, Sheff Utd and Luton are all pure dung. Everton are in a good run of form and currently one win will have them out of the bottom 3

[AustinPowers]

So Everton docked points for  having  financial losses.  Would it not be fairer if the PL  put a limit  on  what clubs are allowed to spend instead?

I suppose there's  ways around that too.

Ah feck it,  football is a farce . I blame Jimmy Hill

The whole point of FFP was to keep the same teams at the top perpetually. Giving the same spending limit to all teams wouldn't achieve that goal.

So Everton are punished for honestly reporting that they lost money.

No they are being punished for breaking financial fair play rules.
