    good luck punishing Chelsea for faults under a prior owner. The FA will get locked into legal battles for oblivion.

    Be cautious about riling them up. Especially City. Last time this happened they slammed a treble on the table lmao.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if instead of

    “Wow if the Ev got 10 points deducted for their breach of ffp that sets quite a precedent for when city get all theirs”

    It’ll be

    “Oh so a 10 point deduction across one season is just the new default punishment”

      10 pts, spread over 10 seasons. Promise not to investigate further and the FA will ask Parliament to ignore all transactions with HSBC over the next decade.

      Premier League: “Man City are in substantial breach. Dock Everton a further 10 points. They need to be made an example of to ensure this never happens again.”

      Honestly if they have City a 10 point deduction for all their seasons then I’d be fucking ecstatic. Sure I’d like more, but it’s better than the slap on the wrist most of us are expecting.

      Should probably be 15 points per year for about 13 years really, but lawyers talk. Might have to reach a point where no home fans show up when City visit to get the point across

      Except they almost always half the penalty on appeal so Everton will almost certainly get 5 points deducted no more.

      It’s just a click bait title, they are smart and know stuff like this will spread amongst these forums virally. This is the fourth sub I’ve seen this in.

    1. They still have squads absolute light years away to even a fantasy team of the EFL best players.
    2. They have all the resources (academy, scout network, branding, and assets) that maintain their top flight status
    3. They gain promotion, every year until they are back in top.
    4. They’ll spend just as much once back on top
    5. It will just mean the likes of Man U, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc, will spend 100’s millions per window, because they can.
    6. It will prevent genuinely hardworking EFL clubs from been promoted, as they walk any leauge they drop into.

      1. FFP would mean most of their players would leave. The remainder would have to be sold to cover payouts to the PL for fines and other clubs for damages IE. Everton are facing a £300m lawsuit for 1 £20m overspend.
      2. How will they pay for all the resources? No sponsor is touching them for years, so only gate money. I doubt the owners would be deemed fit to carry on and most youth products would want to move to a top flight club.
      3. Possibly, if they have the gate revenue to do so.
      4. They won’t if the owners are barred and no sponsor touches them.
      5. True but they haven’t lied about their revenue. Being a big club with big grounds/support and legitimate sponsorship isn’t breaking FFP. Lying about payments to get an unfair advantage is. The big clubs will be the first to sue, but most of the premier league and anybody relegated in the last dozen years will be seeking damages.
      6. Possibly but it depends what happens to City.

    I have the perfect cop out proposal. For the next 10 years. Man City starts the league on -10 points. Give other teams a chance to win the league. You could do something similar with Chelsea.
