Potential points deduction 07:56 - May 29 with 3902 views | MytchettSaint | Do I remember correctly but…. Were Leicester due to have a points deduction for breach of FFP rules for a previous premier league season? Can anyone confirm this or am I imagining this happened? | ![](/images/avatars/3750.gif) |

Potential points deduction on 09:19 - May 30 with 3160 views | saint901 | I think Leicester, Everton, Forest and City all have potential points deductions waiting to be applied. That puts the PL in a bind. They will not blink to throw the first three under the bus but they know that tangling with City will be a long, expensive and damaging affair. What would the other leagues think if the PL applied say a 30/40 point deduction that saw City relegated? What would happen if City decided to leave the PL and set up a European Super League (inevitable in my view)? What message would be sent to other oil rich sovereign funds looking to buy reputation in Europe? I can already smell a whiff of compromise and perhaps even corruption in which the PL "reset" the P&S rules and forgive all past transgressions. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Everton’s point deduction, if any, would relate to last season as two of the three years have been accounted for. That would see then get a point or two at best. Wolves and Villa will also have to sell this summer to avoid being in breach. Didn’t Saints make a big loss in the relegation season? That would be taken into account too. Any punishment will depend on what little Dickie Masters feels like whilst he turns a blinds eye to City and Chelsea. Isn’t the Premier League fun? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think we should be OK as it is a rolling three year period and in that time we will have had a better season prior to the two bad ones then 12 months on a much better season after the two bad ones. Bear in mind we had a nine figure income from player sales plus the parachute payment which is a real plus point now we have gone straight back up. The PP (first year) equates to more than some cartel clubs earn from the Champions League in a season so that helps. We also shifted some high wage earners off of the books. JWP was £5m a year hfor starters. The other factor is how well structured the transfer fee payments were and/or the lengths of contracts the waste of money players we panic purchased were on as you only have to declare an equal percentage of the purchase price per financial period over the duration of the contract. So, if Ocanuchu was £20m and on a 4 year contract we would only show £5m of the purchase price on the 22/23 season’s books and another £5m on the 23/24 season’s books ect… That’s why Chelsea were signing expensive players on 8 and even 10 year contracts until either UEFA or FIFA put a stop to it - now 5 years max. It might be close but I think what we managed to shift out the door permanently by September plus the PP will see us through. | ![](/images/avatars/29611.gif) |

No, I think they're all obliged to file at the same time, but some don't. It seems pretty clear that City and Chelsea and perhaps Newcastle have leaned on wealthy owners who have responded with inflated "sponsorship" deals which are way over the market rate. Liverpool, Man U, Spurs have all had - by their standards - average seasons because they have been unable to recruit top names. Perhaps the best example of how to have a good team and stay in the rules is Arsenal. The PL will find a fix. Literally a fix. Clubs like the above will all get a free pass whereas "smaller" clubs will be sacrificed. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

This is just one of 115 charges against City https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12248483/amp/Manchester-City- Probably the biggest stitch up has to be their inflated 10 year stadium naming / shirt deal with Etihad Airways that was put through the books at £400m when a directly comparable deal with Arsenal by rival airline Fly Emirates for 15 years, not 10 years, was for around £90m. The clear assertion is that through funding from third parties the Emirates deal has been over inflated massively by background funding City under the guise of the Emirates deal - trouble is, try proving it when City say they are co-operating with investigations but are not. The article below is as much about the airline as City so there is a second one below. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakgarnerpurkis/2020/07/27/manchester-citys-infamou https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/city-s-ps400m-etihad This article is also quite interesting - and in our recent admin restructure didn’t we recruit one of City’s financial team 😮 https://offthepitch.com/a/exclusive-another-manchester-city-sponsor-seemingly-no | ![](/images/avatars/29611.gif) |

The snaky six still haven’t coughed up their fines for their breakaway league that was due to go to grassroots football. And don’t forget both Chelsea and City will take place in the money spinning club World Cup in the states next summer, whilst no doubt pulling out of the domestic cups having got their way about the replays, yet still cry arsing about fixture congestion and player welfare. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

There is NO excuse (short of another Munich style disaster) for pulling out of the cups. The FA (and others) need to get it into their thick heads that they are mere custodians and they must not debase these competitions as they did when they allowed man u a 'bye' a few years back. Pulling out of a domestic cup should result in automatic relegation. Also, give the FA Cup winners access to the Champions League - that would give the special 6 something to think about. | ![](/images/avatars/1775.gif) |

The FA and League Cup are thought of in the same way as the Checkatrade to the vast amounts of international ‘fans’ of the cartel, they are all about the PL and CL. I’d love to see a breakaway from them and have a reset of the national game without these clowns and their tellyclapping followers. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
