Lots of talk Forest could be charged with breaching FFP today.
Everton too, again.
While I have no sympathies for Forest over the way they delighted in our financial woes, I wonder if the PL would let any charges drag on like they have with City.
Both City and Chelsea have got off in the past too. I think it's becoming increasingly obvious FFP is primarily there to protect the elite.

Agreed, fair application of rules is what matters. The clue is in the second F of FFP. Its ridiculous that the blue manks can avoid contemporaneous punishment for masses of charges. Having said that I'd love to see "big club Everton" (in their eyes) finally go down. Best yet, christen their expensive new ground in tier 2. I've always detested Everton.

Tbf, GP...they are a ‘big club’. One of only two, the other being Arsenal, who have remained in the ‘top flight’ throughout even our lifetimes and they’ve won a fair bit in that time too...certainly a lot more than Derby.
Destined to have existed within Liverpool’s shadow throughout much of that time they’re still seriously well supported and tick all the ‘big club’ boxes to my way of thinking.
I have no fondness for them and don’t really care if they - and Forest - are punished, just so long as it’s done fairly and City and/or Chelsea don’t escape via some sort of contrived technicality.

Think Arsenal should be kicked out the PL anyway for cheating to get in it.

Forest and Everton charged

I see all over the place folk posting City/Chelsea "getting away with it. They have been charged. I can't remember how many charges Chelski are facing but Citeh are facing something like 115. Sky pundits forecast it could be the end of NEXT season before it's done and dusted...
Everton's -10 was from just 1 charge. Found guilty, points docked and they have appealed the decision. If found guilty I think they'll get another 10 deducted.
F*r*st? Minus just enough to end the season on 10 points
