Financial Fair Play investigation

Do we get to appeal to an impartial court then? I.E not a panel of the prosecution?

It sounds a bit like China otherwise.

If we get OJs lawyer we can make them pay us in FA Cups.

I think that's Citys ploy.

City just appoint 1 Lawyer from every country in the world and send them into a room, utter madmen.

As an outsider with a keen interest in Football Finance I'm very interested in this concept as this is the first time that a) A PL club has been charged for a prior season breach and b) The first time a club has been charged with a period that includes the Covid one across the top 2 divisions.

I believe that (BOOOO! HISS! Etc) Everton have a case to answer but otoh I'm questioning some of the PL processes as well.

Why for example did it take so many months. The EFL in 2018 who were nobodies idea of a dynamic and skilled organisation managed to charge Birmingham by mid August and refer them by the start of August for accounts that ended June 30th. I can post more.

if Villa disappeared the most played fixture in English football would soon be the Merseyside derby tho, and I just think it's nice that we get to have one thing without the RS

Couldn’t give a fat one. I prefer the blue team in Birmingham anyways. We had a sound ex Zulu Warrior poster on here once. Proper good guy and proper team mush.

So we cant appeal to a impartial legal court? Very unusual that.

What non- impartiality does the independent commission have? Or the appeal commission?

True

We just can't appeal to CAS. There is a defined appeals process

...go on....

If Villa got liquidated don’t even think anyone would really notice. Be a bit like ‘there’s something missing but not sure who or what it is.’

Villa are like skirting boards, we have them but we aren't really sure why

Well I obviously hope you're right mate. I dont think legal challenges can be made to any ruling though. An appeal to the commission is all that would be available.

I think a points deduction is highly unlikely, I expect, if found guilty, the penalty will be a transfer ban or embargo or a European football ban

TBH, I'm just not seeing a ponts deduction scenario.

It's obviously an option the commission has, it just seems like a very slippery slope to go down for the PL over an issue like profit and sustainability.

Ordinarily I'd agree completely. I just have a nagging doubt that the threat of external oversight of league affairs may bring it onto the table.
