How have man city got away with it. Better lawyers and accountants?

[–] UniversallyCucumber@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm getting the words "fucked around and found out' coming through.

[–] Scholes_SC2@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What about the titles and cl spots city has stealed?

[–] RyanGUK@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

So if I’m understanding correctly, the Premier League are the ones who get sued, not us?

After the fact the PL dropped a 10pt deduction on us already, and we wouldn’t get financially impacted by this, I say fucking pop off tbh lmao.

[–] geolink@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’m just here for the drama.

[–] tallwhiteninja@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Jokes on them, Everton doesn't have 300 million.

[–] Xehanz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They do have Goodison park to sell

[–] rapozaum@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Okay, what the heck is going on?

[–] aLL1e@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They can sue, sure. Will they get anything from it ? Most likely nothing or some pocket change.

[–] id_entity@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Even if they could prove Everton not being punished last season was responsible for their relegation, that wouldn't have jointly relegated all three of them. Ridiculous.

[–] kozy8805@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What’s funny to me is that City cheated, Everton cheated and people think every other club is honorable and it stops with them? Come on now.

[–] ubiquitous_archer@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You mean Leeds who would have been relegated either way because they finished 19th? That Leeds?

[–] itsjustme1505@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well that’s Jean-Augustin paid off

[–] cnallofu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Been a notable lack of man city flairs in these threads lol

[–] Only_Fun_1152@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Can the entire league sue Man City?

!flair :Arsenal:

[–] MrConor212@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They are already dead

[–] Evul1_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Firstly, Matt Hughes is a gaslighting piece of trash that shouldn't be taken seriously. but how can these clubs think they can sue Everton? Everton allegedly broke PL rules. PL didn't 'punish' Everton quickly enough, and these 3 clubs subsequently got relegated...shouldn't they be suing the league? In theory, it was the league's inaction that caused them damages, not Everton.

[–] singabro@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The so-called "profit and sustainability" rule will go down as the greatest debacle in the modern soccer era.

From now on, English football will be played in courtrooms. It will devolve into bickering, court battles and leaks to the British media. There will be endless recriminations because, I'm willing to bet, few clubs have entirely clean hands and clean owners. You'll have dozens of investigation firms interviewing former club employees trying to find financial irregularities and illegal/immoral behavior to send to the police and media.

The state owned clubs will undoubtedly use hacking to get phone records of rival owners (they bought Israeli spyware that bypasses Apple/Android encryption). And there will be no punishment as the hackers will be Saudi/Emirati government employees.

This will be a huge mess.

[–] dbarond@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They should be pressuring City and Chelsea, not fucking everton.

It is truly hard to overstate how much of a fucking idiot Farhad Moshiri is

[–] hdhxuxufxufufiffif@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

A billionaire accountant who can't balance the books. The Per Kroldrup of the business world.

[–] stovingtonvt@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I imagine Sheffield United will want in?

[–] Reese3019@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How about suing Chelsea or City instead? Oh, right, we don't give a fuck in England. Stay in 2nd League, damn.

[–] NRC-QuirkyOrc@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Chelsea is being investigated right now though, and they’ll probably be in more trouble than City will ever get

[–] Xehanz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chelsea are still clear. They had a lot of ground FFP-wise. If they don't get CL this season they are going to need to sell big time though.

[–] CanadianFalcon@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t know why Leeds are suing, if Everton had gotten the points deduction earlier Leeds would’ve been relegated by Leicester.

[–] wawa1867@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

City have maxed out tier club from ground up. Stadium, academy, staff, branding, international rep, world class players… no amount of fines, points deductions or relegations will take that away…

Whatever their punishment, they have all the tools to bounce back immediately. Similar to how Juventus did.

[–] yanqui04@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If this is how things go, then Liverpool is sitting on an absolute mountain of money should City's success be proven to be in violation of FFP.

[–] Xehanz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sort of. The charges go only up to the season before Liverpool started competing for the Prem. It would be much easier for United to Sue rather than Liverpool.

[–] yanqui04@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Interesting info. Cheers!

[–] WombRaider_3@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The only crime Everton committed was not having hype videos of their 40 man legal team in their subreddit that their oil daddies hired.

[–] sirmeliodasdragonsin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why would they sue Everton, they should sue the PL for not enforcing the rules.

Would every club then sue City if they get charged?

[–] Tuerto04@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

ELI5 why other teams are coming at Everton?

[–] No-Comfortable-1550@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What’s next, suing for poor refereeing decisions.

[–] Sputniki@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why wouldn’t every team that has lost a game against Everton sue them? If a team lost out on a CL or EL place by 1 point and lost to Everton that season they should be suing them for essentially playing with an illegal team

[–] W00DERS0N@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Everton and the horrible, no good, very bad day.

[–] WorthPlease@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Imagine how much we could sue Manchester City for?

Maybe enough to attend the next Vegas GP?

[–] zizuu21@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Theyre building a new stadium and then this? Shit duno if they can sustain it

[–] BigMikeAshley@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Everton making Sunderland's previous Premier League tenure look fairly stable...

[–] palmerama@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What about the relegated clubs?

[–] Blackfrier@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

So 115 city charges = nothing, and everton get fucked for 1 minor charge? The super league didnt even get this much of a punishment

[–] The1789@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Toffee bake sale to be announced shortly!!

[–] GreatWhiteNorthExtra@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don't understand how Everton can be sued for £100 million each by three clubs when only one of them would have stayed up.

[–] TonyMartial786@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

i mean fair enough i’d be pissed that they only just got charged this season
