THE RULES ARE CONSISTENT! Jesus christ, this is such an uninformed discussion. I don't get how football fans don't actually bother to look at the facts of these kind of issues and just spout nonsense like it's the truth. City haven't faced a points deduction as it's an entirely different issue to the Forest and Everton issue. City's alleged transgression is financial doping - Everton and Forest's breaches were NOT doping related. In its simplest form, City have "allegedly" used their own Middle Eastern companies to sponsor City at hugely inflated sums in order to make it look as though City are earning huge money in sponsorships. The premier league are building a case to argue that these sponsorships were not made at market value. They can't just give them a points deduction when City's accounts are healthy - the league are pursuing this legally, trials of this magnitude take months to prepare. It will be for a Court to determine if City have over inflated these sponsorship deals. It's entirely different to Everton and Forest. It has nothing to do with the size of the clubs or that "City can afford top lawyers". Every club can afford the best legal Counsel in the land, which is why Everton and Forest have used the very best KCs in the country. What football fans CONTINUE to ignore, is that every club has to publish its accounts. This is the reason Everton and Forest got deductions. Their accounts clearly show the losses that go beyond the allowable losses. It's in black and white, the losses are there on the balance sheet. So by mereley publishing their accounts they've already breached the rules. It's the equivalent of having two defendants in murder trials. City are denying any involvement in the crime, and therefore the CPS must build a lengthy case and take City to trial. Everton on the other hand have been caught on CCTV bludgeoning the victim to death, they immediately pleaded guilty and therefore they were sent straight to sentencing as there was no requirement for trial. It's baffling how stupid people can be, thinking there's some kind of corruption targeting the smaller clubs.

[@mrphish1318]

No one is arguing anything you just said the issue was that this was proposed after Everton and forest received points deductions and they basically want to sack of point deductions for fine’s instead which in the grand scheme of things when a club is owned by one of the richest countries in the world it’s pointless and only protects them from point reductions. They did go on a tangent on it all because Brian wants to become the city rivals in the transfer market but the original point they made was the rule change would have been corrupt in only helping big teams with unlimited money like city, Newcastle and Chelsea to run away

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

@@mrphish1318 I think you need to listen more carefully (although I suppose it's forgivable that you stop listening whenever the kick off clowns start talking). They spend the first quarter of this video moaning that Everton and Forest only got deductions because they're smaller clubs. The fat lad Chelsea fan at one point even says "the rules need to be consistent" as he's got it into his stupid mind that City are playing under separate rules to Everton and Forest. As I've said, the rules ARE consistent. There's no conspiracy favouring City. They've committed an entirely different offence to Everton and Forest, which will take a long time to establish.

I've clearly explained the difference between the City and Everton breaches and your conclusion is "nuhh just deny it". Jesus christ. Read the comment again. Everton's losses on their ACCOUNTS were what they were punished for. They couldn't "deny" it, that's not how accountancy works. The evidence was in black and white on their balance sheet. That's why they got the points deduction so quickly. The City charges are entirely different, they aren't being pursued for losses on a balance sheet because they don't have the losses that Everton and forest had.

To be fair you can be successful on the cheap if you are smart. Sociedad only paid £6million for Isak, Lyon only paid £15million for Guimaraes. If your scouting is really good you can get the same guys for much cheaper just by buying them earlier. like Ajax bought Frenkie De Jong for £5million, Barcelona bought Pedri for £10million, Atletico bought Rodri for £15million, Dortmund - Sancho, Dortmund - Haaland, Brighton - Caicedo etc etc etc Spurs recently signed Udogie and Van De Ven for only about £40million combined now they are probably worth £60million+ each having only played about 30 games.

As a long term solution after mentioning academy spending. You could do a nfl draft like spending cap - e.g. city finish first they’re academy spend is £0 Liverpool finishes 2nd it’s £10m and so on and so on that way that way it promotes youth setup and development in England (helping out national team hopefully) hinders top clubs from staying top for years and years and that way big clubs can still spend top money buying these talented youngsters when they’re older giving these smaller clubs a lot more to play with

[@milliefrankieshaw2009]

Just to make you guys aware, villa spent 119m in the 1st year of a 3 year cycle, 40m of which can be written off (something to do with the WSL) so although it’s still high and it falls out their budget for year 1 , villa don’t necessarily have to sell and funds can be raised in other ways

Lovely group of lads this

[@jamespanter8761]

Surely, the answer is as simple as a percentage based cap, where the teams at the bottom can (if they're able) spend 20% more... This would allow newly promoted teams to spend big, encourage investment in Championship teams, and allow the closing of the "gap" to City... The further down the table you finish the more you can spend... The higher up the table you finish, the more glory / trophies you get.

[@jacquesmassard9226]

it seems like a good way for the smaller clubs to make some money off the bigger clubs. that's usually how the luxury tax system works in the states. Say city pays 100 million in the tax and that money goes to all the other teams. it would help their bottom line which the smaller clubs need.

[@LiamGO]

My view is that clubs should be allowed to spend what they want, you should reward ambition not punish it. Brighton have pocketed loads of that money for transfers whereas it should have been reinvested properly so they could push forward

[@jacquesmassard9226]

they should have a luxury tax like the nba based on wages where if you pay above an amount you pay double the amount you spent over the limit and it is sent to the other clubs in the league.

If they are guilty of any of those charges, make that call and instantly everyone knows City are already guilty of some charges, then work on the next 2-3 year period and so on.

[@mrphish1318]

That’s not how the f1 works they earn more prize money depending on team position not the spending cap

could just do say 200 mil top 4 down to 100 mil bottom 5

[@mandypyle6495]

That arsenal fan is so against any other team breaking into the top 6 let’s all be honest,the new rules were designed to stop Newcastle from doing a Chelsea and a Man City,we all need a competitive premier league but it isn’t like that because we have. Our own super league in the premier league and that’s the cartel six.

[@ikebennett5349]

Funny how they don’t have Craig on this Show when this topic pops up considering how he schooled them on the City Slander last time.

[@wolterken]

Could the new rules made by the PL and FA be an effort to counter the European Super League that some of the big clubs on mainland Europe still want. So if the English clubs can keep outspending those traditional big clubs from mainland Europe, all the best players will keep coming to England. And therefore there will be more money in the PL than in other leagues because of the TV-and sponsordeals that are connected to having the best players/teams in a league. It's just an idea about trying to follow the money. 😉

[@totalprocall6894]

The lack of homework done on these city charges is laughable. It's more like 11 charges, intentionally duplicated over X amount of years for the sole purpose of optics. This luxury tax is also a massive legal case waiting to happen...telling a business they cannot spend, on their own business lol, will never stand. NEVER.

[@gfh68]

Isn’t it only actually 3 charges stacked up? 35 of them are for not complying with the premiere league investigation, 68 are for not providing accurate financial statements and 12 of them are for failure or breaches of ffp regulations and PSR

[@mrphish1318]

Yes so 115 charges if you committed multiple of the same crime that gives you 5 years you don’t just get the five years you get them all added on

@@mrphish1318 the Way finances work each report builds on the previous one which means that city could have just not reported their financial numbers correctly at the start of the investigation (Q3 of 2009) and hence all reports till 2018 are not accurate. Therefore they haven’t committed the same crime multiple time but committed it once and had the ripple effect of it

@@gfh68 yes so they have incorrectly reported the books multiple times which adds up charges just because there’s a ripple effect doesn’t mean it’s one charge

[@iainwright2301]

Isak and Guimares were already very well know players when Newcastle bought them. There is a reason each cost over 60 million. Other clubs were in for those players, but Newcastle spent more. I am not saying that they shouldn't have been able to spend, but Brian is being a bit misleading. Guimares in particular had been killing it for Lyon and was on many teams radar.

[@taylor-mb6eg]

Agreed but bruno wasn't 60 mil, he was 40.

Because they’re a small club that haven’t won anything, why would elite players want to go there, the same as city it’s money. Clubs in the big 6 have such a pull because of heritage and prestige and you can’t buy that.
