It's fiddling finances and dodgy payments. Personally I'd say that was worse than over spending, it's trying to deceive.Is it under different rules ?

A cynical / bitter fan could argue it's under different rules as somehow rules are judged differently for certain teams. I'm not that cynical or bitter though![]()

Chelsea can afford and are willing to buy their way out of misdemeanours.I have no doubt they are scared to go hard on the “big clubs”
You could say (as reported) that they admitted the crime and worked with the authorities - but where is the fun in that?Chelsea can afford and are willing to buy their way out of misdemeanours.
Other clubs can’t.
I’ll let you decide which side City fall on.
Oh well that will be ok with the Everton and Forest fans then - the crime is worse than theirs because it’s pretty much cheating but because they put their hands up and admitted it then the punishment will be irrelevantYou could say (as reported) that they admitted the crime and worked with the authorities - but where is the fun in that?
Never said that. Just explained one of the reasons the punishment was less for Chelsea, instead of trying to peddle internet rumours about them buying their way out.Oh well that will be ok with the Everton and Forest fans then - the crime is worse than theirs because it’s pretty much cheating but because they put their hands up and admitted it then the punishment will be irrelevant
It was the previous owners! Why wouldn’t the present ones co-operate?Oh well that will be ok with the Everton and Forest fans then - the crime is worse than theirs because it’s pretty much cheating but because they put their hands up and admitted it then the punishment will be irrelevant

Isn’t that what FSG did?

Yes, why should the current regime who are trying to do things correctly be punished for bad behaviour by previous owners.Does it matter if it was the previous owners or not![]()
Sod that, get him in the World Cup squad! Didn't you see the way he scored that open goal? He can be the next Walcott!Is Dowman the next young player to be hugely hyped belief and massive pressure put on him
The media etc don’t ever learn with these young players

Got to say I’m gobsmacked you’re asking this! It is you that have used the previous owners excuse when people mention LPool getting done.
FFP, have a googleThe club benefitted from the bad behaviour of Abramovich so yes they should get punished regardless of who now owns the club
What did Liverpool get done for ?
