Well they did indeed get found guilty at one point
Got to love a loophole that helped them
Like Leicester, pretty sure some people one here applauded them for it

Re the City case....how about a sweepstake as to when we think a decision will be published?
I'll kick off with July 14th 2025

If City get a point deduction surely any team that wins the league that season would have a * next to it?
Well, I visualise one next to City's name after the deductions last season against Everton and Forest
. Only fair

Depends how many points it is and how late in the season they implement it.Imagine
Second division would suit everyone except City fans, just for taking the Mick for so long.

Leicester got away with it. Utd have made massive losses and that doesn't seem to matter. Brighton are hugely in debt to their owner, but that doesn't count eitherYes as long as it’s transparent!
But Everton And Forest might not!
. I think Everton fans have made their mind up already about the validity and consistency of ffp 
. I suspect Forest fans see it the same way.

I think there’s a few City fans feel that way as well. I suppose Barcelonas financial woes don’t count either.Leicester got away with it. Utd have made massive losses and that doesn't seem to matter. Brighton are hugely in debt to their owner, but that doesn't count either

Think there are a few clubs that seemingly have escaped any detailed scrutiny and Barca definitely one of those. I know City are claiming they have irrefutable evidence of no wrong doing but this is usually the same claims a celebrity makes before going into court and then moving straight to jail without passing go and collecting £200. It will be interesting to see what loopholes they are going to use and will that be applicable to other sides or are their offences different in relation to how the debts have been amassed. Definitely going to be interesting and if City do get away with the majority (can't see them getting away with everything) what Forest, and others do

Just a rhetorical question/thought… time and again pretty much everyone criticises FFP/PSR yet knock City for breaking the very rules we don’t agree with. Ok, one club adhering to them and another, allegedly, flouting them is unfair but, equally, how does a club get to the top table without spending massively, aka City & Chelsea?
The letter of the law suggests City are guilty but I think the law is flawed.

Building the club
Smart signings , good management , a very good academy , developing players , good scouting , building up revenue to allow the club to spend
Clubs can still spend money - just do it smartly
There does need to be spending rules in place - if not then it’s just how ever had the richest owner will win
IMO the rules need to in place that allow any club to be able to spend the same as the top club relative to their income
So if Liverpool for example bring in £700mil then that’s what every club can spend with some level of losses
So if Ipswich for want to spend £700mil they can buy the gap between their revenue and the spend must be bonded by the owner - debt is on him
