6 + 2 Point Deductions

Here we go.. the rules need to be changed..

They are about to be.
PSR rules are going to be scrapped and replaced with salary caps based on a club’s earning capability

Just in time to brush City & Chelsea quietly under the carpet
 
They won't do anything considerable to them as it's historical accusations.
We'll see but the argument nothing will happen to them because of their current status in the game is false.
I expect the book to be thrown at City given they have tried a huge cover up.
We all know Abramovic was going to do whatever he needed to do to make Chelsea successful and to satisfy his ego.
The fact they have new owners who came clean will be something of a mitigating factor but they can't exactly say they have restrained their spending ever since. The new owner will almost certainly have put them in an even deeper mire.
 

Why Leeds? And why £2-3m?
I can only imagine it would be to do with the fact that they already have massive compensation payments in the form of the parachute payouts so asking for another load of compensation on the top of it would surely put those clubs at a huge advantage over other Championship clubs. It's potentially opened up a massive can of worms this that could ripple right through the leagues imo.

The government have already admitted that the UK embassy in Abu Dhabi have been discussing City's charges. Just like the Newcastle takeover, they'll take it to the government who'll then lean on the league...the league will then buckle and come up with an excuse (more than likely saying it's historic breaches so there's nothing substantial to do).

Chelsea will neglect all knowledge as it's a new regime and they can't punish them for what happened under the previous ownership.

Both will get suspended points, a fine, or maybe a transfer ban. For both sides...that's nothing.
 
Interesting piece by Northcroft in todays Times

Questioning why both DBB and Inglis refused to attend the Commission despite the breach occurring on their watch and how EFC tried to swamp the Commission by submitting over 40,000 documents

And that is by the by. Perhaps more critical is that he states that every time we signed a player last year - Onana £34m, McNeil £20m, Maupay £15m, Garner £9m and Gueye £8m - the PL warned us we were sailing very close to breaches and sanctions but we chose to ignore it.

There are always three sides to every stories so may be it is better to accept the 10 points as we appear to be well placed to get sufficient points to survive?
Elephant is the possible legal action by other clubs if we accept guilt though and almost certainly administration
