Just reading Pep wants City's 115 PL charges to be dealt with as soon as possible, the charges relate back to 2009 to 2018.

They got a European ban for breach of FFP overturned in 2020 & a paltry fine of £8.67m for obstructing the investigation & are now objecting that KC Rossen (the chair of independent commission) is an Arsenal season ticket holder !

Basically they're accused of false accounting whilst picking up 7 PL titles.

Reading now that In their last financial results Wolves posted a £46.1m loss before adding 10 senior players this season plus two more on loan, suggesting further losses on their next accounts & FFP breaches.

Now Manager Lopetegui is stating that it would be "difficult to compete" in the PL without investment with the Spaniard adding he had only recently been made aware of the club's Financial Fair Play (FFP) "problems".

With the club now unable to get the signings or investment ''they promised him'' & instead having to sell to keep up with FFP, his future is in doubt even though he is under contract.

Hells bells, Everton as well now & ex-Palace Chairman (fly-boy Simon Jordan) stating that for PL rules to be changed you'll need all 20 PL clubs to vote on matter stating PL CE Richard Masters only exists as his job is to only fulfil the outcome "they want".

Yeah, did a fair job regarding Newcastle takeover I recall to.

PL rules = Total Bollux!
Financial fair play is a little bit of a misnomer depending on your perspective. If you want a fair league then there would be a fairer distribution of revenues, assets (players) and a salary cap.

Always suspected FFP was as much about entrenching the position of the top 6 who had already spent money to get there and stop them from being challenged.

To be fair to City they have not borrowed any money to get there it is all income streams. I believe on of the issues is that the sponsors are alleged to be connected to the club but it isn’t money they are loaning or borrowing it is money that becomes the clubs without strings.

The whole regulation of football is less than perfect on so many levels.

If Messi goes to the Saudi league there are rumours his salary will be about 200m euros per year - that is insane
