6 + 2 Point Deductions

Timbucktoo said:
If they are found guilty for most of the 115 charges, I don`t see why the EPL would want them in it, as they would be showing they have no interest in abiding by the rules. There was a EPL working perfectly well without City for years, and would continue to grow without them.

Its taken almost 7 years to even talk about charges. There's half your answer there.

An absolute mess. Everyone just looking after their own interests, loads of clubs would rather everyone else get points deductions to give them a chance of finishing 2 places higher. Goes along with what Townsend was saying about all the Luton players celebrating our points deduction and their weird chairman chatting rubbish. The spirit of the game and fair competition is gone forever.

Well that turned out well.
 

It’s sad to see what going down at Villa, they achieved a lot via good player selection and good management, building a team to achieve the CL through sporting integrity, now they have to partly dismantle and undermine that to comply with PSR. I don’t think they’ve spent outrageously comparatively - oor at least I haven’t noticed.

They are selling a layer to Chelsea, who’ve spent I think over a billion, who circumvented the rules as we know.


This is killing the “Sport”.

Same as Newcastle last year. They rocked the apple cart, got in champs league and wasn’t able to spend anything. Boom, out first hurdle, same will happen with Villa. They simply want the top 6 clubs to finish in the top 6 places. Watch United spend a fortune this year, how when they finished like 9th and have spent and spent over the years.

Yes, but re people forgetting that if clubs are allowed to spend what they want then it won't be a top 6, It will be a top 2, owned by 2 countries, with relatively bottomless pits of money. Compare Abramovich v Saudi for example. Abramovich's net worth is £9 billion. Saudi? 1.4 trillion.

People need to wake up, imo, clubs should be able to spend and not forced to sell, I agree, but these nation state clubs need to be reined in one way or another, or they are simply gonna be in a league of their own. City are dominant at the moment, the biggest spenders of the last 10 years, and they are still not happy that they can't spend more. Nobody other than the saudi's will ever get close to them again if they can spend whatever they like. They'd spend Abramovich's entire net worth in less than a decade.

Villa spent a tonne of money on older players and big wages like Coutinho a few years ago. It was always catching them.

So one of these teams is hindered by ffp, the other is able to pick their bones because they can ignore ffp and became established on the back of super rich owners and unfettered spending?

How do let 'let any owner spend what they want' brigade square this circle?
