And will Chelsea be charged for finding a loop hole in the FFP which allowed them to breach the rules by buying all those players? Probably not. We know why FFP is a thing to stop smaller clubs from competing with the top teams in the EPL ever again like Leicester City did when they won the title upsetting a few corporate American owed teams. Must of been a travesty when Leicester won the league title, we were cherry picked to sell are best player by the corporate teams, but that wasn't enough we still get treaty as cheaters for trying to compete with the top clubs, by issuing a FFP against us for breaching the rules, football is a absolute joke. And why don't Sky Sports talk about the corruption in todays football? There was no FFP in place until Leicester won the title, must go against the EPL rules for such teams to win the title again.

Then there is a team whom have an outrageous amount of charges/infractions of these rules and regulations with no swift and harsh punishment being handed down to them. How is this happening? And the argument of City’s charges are of a different level/nature holds no weight. They broke the rules, that’s it.

Gross mismanagement from the board and overly loyal to players in terms of wages but certainly not net spend. Last 2 seasons you're probably looking at £50m each season as a net transfer profit? And so if you view last season as cheating then fine in the sense they did break (the very corrupt rules) but this year​? They haven't broken the rules and it's not in the EFL remit.

It takes time to prepare a case for 115 breaches of FFP. The reason the smaller teams are punished is because they only breached once or twice and it's a relatively easy case. After Leicester threatened to sue the PL I hope they get maximum sanctions to be honest, send a message that cheaters shouldn't prosper. And yes, man city will face their day in court and hopefully face maximum repercussions.

So teams like Leicester get punished for challenging the top six teams, must be a crime for another team outside the top six to win silverware yeah?
