Oh yeah, get what you're saying. Just felt appropriate to point out we got a mention incase anyone skim read it.

It wouldn't have made any difference like, think what the tweet was implying was had they had an appropriate points deduction/potential expulsion for said seasons everyone would have moved up a place or won the league etc.

Still wouldn't have happened regardless though as I don't believe anything severe will happen to City, nor would it have had this come to light earlier.

I see City's hearing starts on Monday. Don't suspect anything major will happen to them.

It'll drag. They'll see to that.

But yeah. A little hand on the wrist and that's your lot.

It's rumoured they've won their case about fair market value for sponsorships. If they have then ffp is done anyway

*done for top clubs with expensive lawyers

They’ll just go even harder at the lesser clubs to make it look like they’re still in control

After they approved of Chelsea selling hotels to themselves, I think it was kinda toast anyhow...at least for some.

Nah, I'm pretty sure ever club in the league could afford the best lawyers, what this is about is teams sticking up for themselves, not rolling over and having their tummy tickled and told to go on their way, like we did.
You can go over the morals of where we were, but our issues were impacted by others rules, and City have just blown them out of the water. We should now sue the premier League for loss of earnings based on our league position last year

I don't know much about this specific case, but we're listed as witness for them rather than against, it might be that them winning benefits us in this instance.

Wasn't this just the sponsorship case and not the 130 charges?

Aren't they linked though. Mitigation for all the other charges is this illegal rule?? Also if you now don't need fair market value isn't ffp dead
