it’s an independent panel that is going to decide and this is what the Premier League is going to recommend to them for anyone who hasn’t read the article
It doesn’t say it anywhere explicitly, but from my understanding it would apply in this season
Is it to early for Ken to be turning in his grave?
Everton will still survive relegation on the last day.
Just remember kids… if you’re not part of the illustrious Big Six™ that Sky Sports invented after we won the league, then the Premier League literally does not care about you.
Demands punishment while the likes of Man City and Chelsea have literally bought all of their success.
Chelsea was technically not a state club even if Roman got rich off Putin but that kind of ownership wasn’t healthy either. It’s one thing to level the playing field but what Chelsea did was first level the playing field and then build a giant skyscraper on top of it
A scary number of people on here are too young to remember but no one called City’s takeover state ownership at the time. Sheikh Mansour bought the club and it wasn’t until 3 or 4 years later, probably with the Qatar purchase of PSG that people started referring to City as the same thing.
Go back to 2008 and all the coverage is about the individual Sheikh Mansour, there was no sense that the UAE state had bought a football team.
I get why fans of smaller clubs would try to push this narrative, but we don’t actually know what is going to happen with City. There seems to be an acceptance they’ll get off with it for some reason, but if found guilty their punishment would be multitude times more severe than a 12 point penalty.
And Chelsea haven’t actually done anything illegal yet have they? Their potential breaches are in the future.
The point is that the rules have come in now that the supposed elite are established. Meaning they’re protected from any would-be challenge.
Would put them on -5 if applied now
Will still survive with how shite the bottom 3 are
Looking at your next 10-12 games there’s a chance you’d still be in minus points by February though as you don’t have a single winnable home game (unless there’s an upset obviously). So even though the bottom three are shite you would potentially have 15+ points to make up by then.
