Good news as far as it goes?

It all sounds good moving forward meanwhile what’s happened to Man City’s 115 charges for breaking financial fair play🤔

Certainly, if you’re the chair of this quango.

Looking at how well the various other independent regulators have done at protecting the interests of us common oiks I won't hold my breathe on this one.

Still being considered by an independent body. My guess would be they know City are guilty, they want to punish them, but they've got to make sure everything is airtight legally. Otherwise you know City will find a way to wriggle out of it.

My guess would be that they'll conclude City broke all the rules but they don't have a solid legal bassi on which to fine them millions or demote them multiple divisions. (If only there was a precedent!)

They only punish small, weak and poor clubs who cant afford good solicitors.

Also ones who have people with inside info and evidence who are willing to share it with the media & authorities.

However you are right, both Man Utd & Spurs have been found guilty & were only fined, whereas we (and Peterborough) both suffered more severe punishments

Add to those Chelsea who got fined and a slap on the wrist.
