Context: [[The Telegraph] Everton face 12-point deduction as Premier League demands FFP punishment](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/10/25/everton-premier-league-12-point-deduction-ffp-punishment/)
Money talks
Because Man City are good and Everton are shit, it’s as simple as that unfortunately
Unlimited funds to pay lawyers to obfuscate, which comically doesn’t count toward FFP. If you are rich enough you can get away with almost anything. I doubt they will face anything larger than a fine which is a meaningless cost of doing business to them. They hired the most expensive QC in the UK to delay and drag every single charge out until people just stop caring.
The PL are going to end up looking very silly out of this. They were so desperate to show they were doing something that they just blurted out “115 charges” without actually having any case built (apparently that’s what they are doing now, the equivalent of throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks). At least their smear campaign against city seems to be alive and well because now no matter what happens we will forever be cheaters, if nothing comes of it we will have bought our way out of trouble with brown envelopes, wouldn’t be surprised if city sued the league for tarnishing their image after this is all said and done.
Should have kept their mouths shut until they were actually ready to charge us, this case could be the end of what little credibility the PL has left.
Solid whataboutism.
You knew the city charges were never going to stick and it was confirmed as soon as the government got involved. They’ll all disappear once enough time has gone by that they hope people forgot about it.
Hasn’t this been pending for Everton for a couple of years. Thought it came out after the COVID losses.
Everton’s lawyers should insist in no punishment until the City case is resolved. Because those alleged offences came first, they should argue that the punishment for those offences are also needed first to set a precedent.
