Breach of financial regs.

How do Man City get away with it ?

The Man City allegations are much greater by volume and much more complex. Everton's case is very straight forward and they've admitted the offence. The only discussion point is the sanction.

I'm sad about this. It's incompetence that's got them to this point. They could easily have avoided it.

Maybe, but they didn't, and other teams have been adversely affected by it and possibly even relegated.

I would be worried if I was a Man City or Chelsea fan following Everton's points deductions.  Their one offence whilst being wrong results in a 10 points deduction, they would have got less for going into adminstration and having all of their debts wiped out.  Man City have more than 100 offences and going off the severity of Everton's, they should be relegated to league 2, it is not going to happen as the premier league are too scared of the big clubs and the money they would lose.  Man City posted record profits this week, again completely dodgy how they go about doing this, and their way round getting this sponsorship money is through their owners and supposedly companies that don't exist.  How can a club with 5 million worldwide fans get more revenue than clubs like Liverpool, Real Madrid and Man United who have half a billion fans across the world. 

Whilst not agreeing with Newcastle selling out to the Saudis, I do respect how they have gone about their business, not paying over the odds, spending in a controlled manner and keeping lots of players who struggled under the previous regime.  I was expecting to be anti Newcastle under their ownership but pleasantly surprised how they have gone about their business and fair play to them.

It's unlikely the owners of Man City are worried. Suppose they get a 10-30 points penalty. Well we'll live with it! 

But unlike Everton, they have heavyweight professional backup including lawyers. They can face up the PL & FA and overpower them with resources. Challenge every comma and this is even assuming the FA have legitimate challenges. 

I think the PL and FA are going to burnt firework in the rose bed.

If the big clubs think they're invulnerable, think Glasgow Rangers.
