The CEO of Everton is making too much of himself. His team had 8 points deducted at the start of the season, and Nottingham Forest, in a similar situation, lost 4 points towards the end, yet both teams managed to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Manchester City, the most serious offender, faced no consequences and even won the league this season. It's clear that Everton and Nottingham Forest are being treated unfairly, while Manchester City, being the FA's favorite, gets away with everything. There are clearly two sets of standards at play here, so the CEO's statement about Manchester City not being able to escape punishment is nonsense. What's even more powerful is that Manchester City has directly countersued the Premier League. They're transforming from rule-breakers to victims. Manchester City's legal team is clearly much stronger than the Premier League's, so they might actually win. The Premier League's reluctance to punish Manchester City is also because they rely on them for European success, as only Chelsea and Manchester City have won the Champions League in recent years. So, the Premier League can't afford to punish Manchester City. In the end, history will only remember Manchester City's achievements, not whether they violated FFP rules. Let's hope Manchester City can win their fifth consecutive Premier League title next season. |
