No corruption whatsoever, some of us are just coping.

Fucking joke. I think US sports franchises have this "luxury tax" idea. Which I suppose is fine up to a point where nothing rests on finishing bottom of the league. No relegation means that it really doesn't matter that much financially if you fail year after year by not keeping up with the Jones's. But when you are talking the difference between £100's of millions in the prem for TV rights alone and maybe £30m in the championship then there should be some other method of punishing infringements in my mind.
Will the likes of Burnley, Luton, Sheff U, Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace really think this is OK?
Man City will still get punished as their alleged breaches are historic, besides going forward points deductions are still on the table. Not being allowed UEFA money or compete in their competitions are still big disincentives though. Whoever this guy is, who seems to be an everton fan, even says so here.

Yes companies that they have an interest in. They are basically sponsoring themselves. Saudi will do the same if they can.
You shouldn’t have countries owning clubs. They have too much influence on governments. Our government pushed through the Newcastle deal. Swallowed the crap that PIF are not part of the Saudi government. It has since been proved that they are part of their government. Newcastle chairman also chairman of PIF. Last year in a ct case PFA v PIF in USA , they claimed diplomatic immunity when certain docs were requested. Also confirmed the chairman of Newcastle is a sitting minister in the Saudi government.
Well done Boris
So I heard they have to get ECL or they have to sell a player. Thing is after the weekend would we want any of their junk?20/21 £37.3m loss
21/22 £0.4m profit
22/23 £119.6m loss
Total £156.5m loss - £51.5m over the £105m threshold, before adjustments for youth football etc. so might squeeze inside the £105m maximum after adjustments
The 22/23 loss is going to be a problem for the next few years though
Owners pumping in cash through

If they do get European competition then their wages to revenue percent is above the uefa limit of 80% for next season so they’ll have to shed a couple of high earners too.
I read forest have two main defences for ffp,
As they were promoted they could not be measured for three premier league seasons to have lost £105 million. There threshold was reduce to being only allowed lose £61 million over three seasons. They say this is unfair compared to other relegation rivals who have been in the premier league longer.
Their other point is that they were only in this loss making area at the end of the season and that they used the entire transfer window to sell players.
If they had of accepted Brentford’s £35 million offer in June and not our offer of £47 august the £12 million extra was crucial to get them over the line.
They basically needed Johnson’s money by June 30th and that the window was only open a few weeks and they couldn’t utilise the entire window.
I wonder how they will get on.

Forest dicked 4 points

Must mean Everton are getting the same punishment
Is 4 points the standard now then or is it proportionate?
Nobody knows, which seems to be partly the point. If the clubs knew the punishment then they’d budget accordingly. I still think the chavs made it part of their transfer policy to absorb the ffp fine (when they thought that’s all the punishment was) and carry on regardless.
I thought Everton already got punished for that and this refers to last season?
Everton got the 4 points back from the appeal, in order to get them back reduced for the 2nd breach, I'd assume. So in total they get deducted 10 points not for 1 breach, but for 2.
They're making it up on the hoof.
Every club that's failed so far has blamed Spurs
Quite sinister.
