My point is that the premier league won’t want to spend a penny over what they have to in order to get this case closed.

Yeah that’s why they spent a whole 4 years just on the investigation. They have no real interest in it. Just 4 solid years of investigating.

They certainly won’t want to go head to head with city over it because if there’s a single fault with just one of these charges then it questions the integrity of the rest of them

That’s not how the justice system works. Look it’s obvious you’ve no idea about legal matters so let’s not pretend like you do. If City can disprove one charge but the other 114 stick, then yeah, they’re fucked. That one charge could be completely unrelated and have nothing to do with the others. They still proved they were guilty on 114 of them. No one is going to care about that one disproved one.

Financial fair play” wasn’t even a thing until the mid 00’s until the likes and Real, United, AC Milan lobbied fifa in an attempt to keep their monopoly of world football……

FFP was brought in in 2011, not the mid 2000s and it was to stop clubs going broke and out of existence, which was starting to happen pretty regularly. And according to studies it’s been incredibly successful in that regard.

FFP regulation must be considered a success. The evidence suggests that the business model modification it encouraged – player sales and sponsorship income – is responsible for overall improved profitability in European football.

Imagine buying a business with the intent to invest in it and make it thrive for the community it sits in. Only to get told you can’t because it risks impacting your competitors bottom line who operate in the same sector. That’s not how capitalism works!

Soccer isn’t capitalism. It’s a competitive sport. Allowing nation states to buy clubs and just buy success with resources no one else can match is way worse for competition than ensuring clubs can’t make more than £15m in losses every year, which is all FFP is.

That’s how a crooked system works and it’s only now everyone is beginning to realise how crooked they are

It’s not a crooked system when the rules are the exact same for everyone is it? That’s actually a very fair system. If it’s so unfair and no one can grow, how are Spurs now one of the wealthiest clubs in the world? How are Aston Villa? Sustainable growth is way less crooked than a sportswashing project buying success.
