The transfer window situation needs to be addressed but that will cause issues about when leagues start, as there's a 2-3 week overlap in some cases. A uniform start/end to the season would be a good idea but will never happen!
I personally think City have broken rules. Which ones, like I said, we as fans don’t know the full picture. The problem for me is that the Premier league are amateurs when it comes to business. Clubs like City, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea etc have bigger and brighter people working for them.
how can you charge someone with predictions and not facts. Furthermore Not facts.Lord help us.
Why ?Lots of talk about how Leicester got away with it through loopholes, But.
Quote.
The Foxes were also adamant that they had not breached PSR in the first place.
The appeal board decided that, because Leicester's accounting period ended after they were relegated, the Premier League could only predict that Leicester were in breach of PSR, and could not definitely say that the club was in breach.
Predict
Quote.
The Premier League argued that "common sense" made it obvious that Leicester were in breach of PSR, but the appeal board said they could make no reference to common sense, only what was stated explicitly in the rules.
The appeal board criticised PSR, saying: "The rules are, in relevant parts, far from well drafted."
In the written reasons given by the appeal board, they described parts of PSR as "confusing".
So the premier leagues defense is based on common sense.
And the appeal board goes onto say “the rules are, in relevant parts, far from well drafted”. And there in lies the problem. As I have said. The Premier league like UEFA do not know there own rules or at the very least know how to write them.
City must be rubbing there hands this morning.
). Once the season starts, no points reductions.
Imagine this thread if that happensFunnily enough, I’ve seen “in the know” types on social media suggesting for quite a while that there’ll be some “loophole” rulings for FFP, and softening of punishments etc just prior to Man City’s verdict in order to set a precedent.
Almost amazing how these things happen as predicted
They will get away with a fine, and nothing more than that. This has been a quite clear for a long long time.

Probably just after Newcastle decide to sell their own training ground back to themselves for the price of a corned beef pasty and a bottle of Brown Ale.
