This shows how unfair the world of football is, Everton are a poor smaller club so the FA can punch down on them as they please. Whereas the top clubs are given special treatment and allowed to bend the rules, can hire the best lawyers and being state owned gives them unlimited power

    Chelsea got investigated and cleared/punished accordingly. Anything coming out now is self reported from years ago. Leave Chelsea out of this shit.

    Why the fuck are you lumping Newcastle in with this? Absolute zero evidence or even suggestion that they’ve broken any rules

    “Whereas the top clubs are given special treatment”

    I mean FFP does this as well.

    Eg. Restaurant A has an early start in a neighborhood and earns 4 times as much revenue as Restaurant B.

    Every good chef Restaurant B hires gets poached away by Restaurant A, because the local laws dictate Restaurant A can spend 4 times as much on payroll and the ingredients it buys.

    Do you think this is fair competition?

    The way FFP is setup, whether intentional or not creates an established hierarchy

    Edit: Hopefully Everton win on appeal. They arent going to enforce the rules on the big clubs so they shouldnt on the small clubs.

    If 10 points is for what seems to be a single charge of breaching the rules, then I guess you look at how many times the rules are breached, and not the total charges made.

    Chelsea and Man City would probably be on the level of, I dunno, 50-100 points?

    A formal statement to discard the “unsubstantiated allegations” against perfectly rule-abiding clubs.

    Everton will be fine. I dont think they will get relegated.

    Can someone break down the charges for everton vs Man City?
