Lisa, I’d like to buy your rock
Man City is counter sueing the allegations against them with an independent agency going through each individual breach and why they haven't been "officially" charged yet, a ton of paperwork and timely processes. However, experts say that their FFP breaches will/should lead to a bigger punishment than Everton's.
The real problem is why it takes so long to figure out these problems. We're in 2023 and looking at problems back in 2009. FA/EPL and UEFA really are the big failures here, they should've implemented a system where each team has to use a designated independent bank with their financial statements and spending spree which will prevent them from spending more than their FFP rules can dictate. Allowing teams to cheat under your banner and get away from decades worth of rule-breaking is sheer incompetence, especially when a lot of those clubs won major trophies like EPL titles and CL trophies. They're tainted now IMHO.
I think getting rid of your EPL titles and both CL trophies would be very fair considering both CL wins were absolute flukes.
The first one was a fluke because of some major bad calls, especially against Barcelona that would've gone to VAR.
20-21 was Kante at his peak as well, the guy was absolutely dominating. James and Chilwell were both healthy, which has barely aligned since. Rudiger and Silva were both outstanding, Azpilicueta was who he was for years. We lacked clinical finishing up front with Mount, Havertz, and Werner but Mount and Werner both pressed really well.
Agreed. At least LFC went to back-to-back finals even if they got a very favourable match-up against the Spurs. The problem with Chelsea is after each win, they either didn't even make the CL the next season or were eliminated quite early in the competition. After winning, your club should at least make the final 16 or 8 again at the bare minimum.
