Another Premier League team faces punishment for violating financial fair play regulations! Powerhouses like Manchester City and Chelsea are feeling the heat!

Yet another Premier League club has been penalized for breaching financial fair play regulations, this time it's Nottingham Forest, currently struggling in the relegation zone. They've been docked 4 points, pushing them into the relegation zone, prompting Nottingham Forest to express dissatisfaction and decide to appeal. Many fans are questioning why only teams that breach fewer than 10 financial fair play rules are being penalized, while Manchester City, who have allegedly violated 115 rules, have faced no consequences. What's the reason behind this?

This season, the English Football Association has been strict in enforcing financial fair play rules, which were previously not taken seriously by clubs. Everton was initially penalized 10 points, later reduced to 6 after an appeal. Now, Nottingham Forest has been docked 4 points, directly putting them in a precarious relegation situation. Nottingham Forest is deeply concerned about the implications of this punishment and plans to appeal to defend their rights. If they are indeed relegated, they will face financial difficulties and may be forced to sell Brennan Johnson to recoup £30 million. While this would resolve their financial issues, disagreements between Forest and the sale of Johnson have delayed the player's departure until summer.

With two consecutive penalties, the real concern now lies with Manchester City and Chelsea. Manchester City has been accused of breaching 115 financial rules, with former executives publicly admitting that if the Premier League insists on penalizing the club, substantial evidence could be uncovered. Meanwhile, Chelsea's exorbitant transfer spending in recent years, coupled with poor performance, suggests financial strain. However, thus far, only smaller clubs have been penalized, leading some fans to mock the Football Association for only daring to penalize smaller teams, while being subservient to larger clubs.

It's truly a puzzling move, penalizing smaller teams first while there's been little progress with the bigger ones. Is there some leverage or crucial evidence that hasn't been uncovered yet?

Top clubs, I reckon, the English Football Association wouldn't easily dare to penalize.

If you don't break the rules, you have nothing to fear. Being afraid would only prove that there's something fishy in your heart.

For one's own benefit, occurrences of such matters are as numerous as hairs on a cow.

It's okay, the reason they're called elites is because they're a wealthy bunch. They shouldn't be trembling in fear, at most, they'll just be a little unhappy.

The elite clubs indeed remain unshaken. How long has Manchester City's lawsuit been going on? With money, they can do as they please. The luxurious lawyers and lobbying teams they have are not something small clubs can afford.
