Chelsea sure picked a bad week for those leaks to come out.
Loool Chelsea released this news aces ago that’s what the self reporting stuff was
The Prem obviously released more details about it now on purpose because nothings changed since Chelsea self reported
They haven’t been charged with anything either so it must’ve just been the self reported stuff
There’s two things with Chelsea, one is the self-reported stuff around Willian and Eto’o, the second (potentially more serious) is what the Guardian uncovered
How many times does it have to be said that the newly revealed breaches by Chelsea are NOT the same that they already self-reported?
PGMOL loves it though.
Ultimately it’s harsh as they complied but no one would have any complaints if they showed consistency with then dealing with the bigger clubs.
They could deduct City of 20-30 points and City might still qualify for a European non-CL competition. But they can sell it as a harsh punishment because it’s twice or thrice as high as that for Everton. I can totally see this happening.
Yet City gets away with it.
Only if it’s Everton
When does pgmol get fines ?
Everyone is cribbing based on decisions not yet even taken, but isn’t this what most fans wanted?
Clubs actually have impactful consequences for breaking funding rules?
It hasn’t happened to the biggest offenders yet, but IMHO it’s a good thing to see a firm precedent after decades of loosey-goosey shit like Fit-&-Proper person test or chump change fines given to infinite money glitch clubs.
I swear these things always go the same way.
- Allegations drop. Fans of accused club go on the defensive while fans of rival clubs gloat.
- People tire of hearing the story constantly, neutrals slowly start to drift from “punish the cheaters” to “I’m sick of hearing about this”
- Wait 2 years
- Slap on the wrist, cost of doing business punishment is handed down.
- Fans of accused club gloat, fans of rival clubs cry foul and corruption. Nothing fundamentally changes.
basically the exact same as two-party politics lol
That’s why I’ll never vote for the main two parties. We need proportional representation
seems like they had a lot more options last season
Premier League left with no option but to do their job
I can hear their collective sighs.
“Would you download a car?” Vibes
Is there a chance the Everton decision gets defanged on appeal and this all fizzles out?
More chance than City ever being punished.
“We’ll start with Everton, but City gets a pass for now!”
Let’s see how “tough” they get with Chelsea or City.
What are they doing about it in other leagues?
As I suspect all clubs at some point have broken the FFF rules in all leagues , or is it a Saudi sponsored investigation into EPL teams
