>"breaking" the rules just to be on even footing is... le BAD!!!!!Football is a dying sport because of this, people only want the same three teams winning for hundreds of years without any sort of competition.
trvke. i want to watch a team cheat 8/10 titles instead
>>157989550At least try not to appear biased
surely there must be a way to achieve parity without using state funds to roid a mid club's finances to the gills and letting them create their own unstoppable monopoly instead
>oil sheik save me!
>>157989648if there was it would have been done already>>157989655Cry ape
>>157989664>if there was it would have been done alreadyLeicester City.
>>157989516I thought Euros liked their sports to be brutally capitalistic, why are so many crying over what is essentially a salary cap
i have a question pertaining to this. how come roman abramovich never had a problem like this? were the rules not as strict then, was he just more clever about hiding it, or was it just corruption?
>>157989762Exception to the rule>>157989787Because three clubs dont have that so called salary cap while the others are forced to suffer it>>157989810The ffp rules werent in place when Abramovich took over and pumped them
>>157989762They are in league one. I would not call that "achieving parity".
>>157989516>Can you say that again... just the way you said it?
>>157989516Your "team" is dead ahahahaha
>>157989844cope, UAE gonna rape your country for this
>>157989831they won two legitimate trophies since 2009sham cheaty has won zeroleicester has done more to achieve parity than sham cheaty
>>157989853Anything the UAE does to try and bully the prem or the UK will simply build a case against their kind of ownership. Your team is fucking dead, and I will laugh and piss on its grave. Cheaters, you will be forever known as cheaters. Even if you play the entire pyramid and make your way back to the PL in 5 years time everybody will remember who you are: dirty rotten cheaters.
>>157989516Be careful the deranged fagsenal swede troon and his bulgarian butt buddy will soon be shitting up this thread
>>157989919are they a couple
>let me cheat
>>157989881The only thing city did wrong was take the case to court. United arsenal and Liverpool have cheated openly over the years for those with eyes to see, but because they have never been sued nobody cares. Winning a few trophies by lucky recruitment and then getting skinned alive is not parity. You don't truly care about fairness in sport, you just follow the media narrative.
>>157990152your team is dead kek
i haven't paid attention to this thing, will it be a nothinburger or City will actually be playing against Millwall next season?
>>157990169I couldn't care less about city. They could rot in non league for all I care. But all this reaction of this being the worst to happen in this sport is not just ridiculous, it's disingenuous. United did worse things in Ferguson era. Somehow every single liverpool player had asthma under klopp. Gabriel got with away multiple assaults last season. But nobody cares. Not one peep from the media on any of these
>>157990181Neither, because millwall be in the prem and city will not be.
>>157990152i stopped reading after seven words but i assume the rest of your post just regurgitates what the PL already said, alright cheers mate.
>>157990181why would millwall be playing in the non-league next season? they're in tier 2 of the top four professional divisions and aren't at risk of expulsion.
>>157990222>i stopped reading after seven wordsYeah I could tell you were illiterate from your earlier posts. No need to reiterate.
>>157990243SAAR BLOODY BICH ILLERATATE SAAAR
>>157990206City agreed to rules that they went on to break, lied during the process, and refused to co operate. They are now using their state backed power to threaten legal actions by strongarming with Etihad airways. Everything you mentioned pales in comparison to genuine geopolitical mess this league has allowed to happen. Let's find out how much tax they've dodged as well, then let's see you make those comparisons
>>157990206You are not seriously comparing a fraud approaching a billion pounds with letting players use a public medication, right?It is true that all (big) clubs cheat to a degree, and one of the gray areas is that they give players all sorts of legal medications via loopholes. This is common knowledge, and it is not a good thing. But it’s not even remotely comparable to what City did (especially since their medication lists will still look very similar to Liverpool‘s at the end of the day), and you either know that yourself or you’re a genuine subhumanHowever, yes, all of these clubs might as well be nuked. But City must go first for this blatant act of epic proportions
>>157989516paying big sums of money for players is only for the big clubs sweatyif you are not a big club you should just be happy with small transfers
>>157990258>They are now using their state backed power to threaten legal actions by strongarming with Etihad airways.I do like this bit from the latest BBC report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjkg7g93y5yno>City's principal sponsor Etihad Airways has said it is considering legal action against the Premier League, claiming the release of the commission findings had "damaging implications…despite the airline not being named in the redacted published findings".Now I wonder why it would have damaging implications?
>>157990300corrupted country from top to bottom, and we let them buy a football team.
>>157989516>t. zalgiris kaunas enjoyer
>>157990258>>157990260The frauds only amounts to that much when you consider the sponsorships to be outside the "fair market value". If the same sponsorships had been taken by any of the other big clubs no one would even bat an eye. I understand that it's because the other clubs had bigger following, but this just leans into that only big clubs are allowed to succeed. Having your own sponsors was a genuine legal loophole because if it was one of the big clubs it would definitely be allowed. What this case tells me is that big clubs can get away with almost anything. And as a fan of relatively smaller club, that part is concerning.
>>157990258>>157990300>>157990330And on the state backed threats, yeah that's disgusting, but what can you expect from Israelis in an arab dress. UAE as a country should be nuked
its crazy how much boomers seethe about new blood in their sport kek
>>157990366It has nothing to do with fair market value. They quite literally lied about the amount of money and the source of the money, then used their financial advantage to cheat. I think FFP has been implemented badly and the league would be better off with a standard spending cap for all teams, but the teams had the opportunity to vote against it and they didn't, yet City thought they could cheat anyway. If you're a fan of a smaller club then you should be angrier than every big team fan, because they missed out on trophies but for smaller teams getting relegated or missing out on European football is existential, and City's cheating affected that too.
>>157990366I'm sorry Rajesh, but you can't just blatantly scam people because capitalism isn't a level playing field. City's owners had every chance to use their vast wealth to challenge the FFP rules as being inherently anti-competitive, and they could have got a lot of support from other disenfranchised clubs and made a real difference to the game. Instead they went down the "nah those rules are dumb so I'll just break them" route and screwed over everyone else along the way, which is the attitude of any common criminal before he gets caught.
>>157989853>raped by the saudis in yemen>raped by Iran on a daily basis>Now getting raped y Richard MastersYou got the wrong end of the stick here bud
>>157990413>City's cheating affected that too.I don't agree with this but I can't really formulate why so I will concede this point. And on the voting, I believe many clubs vote not because it will benefit them, but because it will be disadvantages to most other clubs. And most other clubs are small. Just a sad state of affairs overall.
>>157990388That's all this is. When britcucks lose at anything they always have excuses.
>>157990561well the point is the league is one big causal chain, this team beats that team because they lost to the other team last week and now they need the points, or lineups change depending on game week schedules and the strength of the team they are playing, and a thousand other moving parts. Everything affects everything, so when one team cheats they've cheated everyone. >Just a sad state of affairs overallYeah and we've let it go this far and now it's going to be impossible to undo it properly..
>>157990600>when one team cheats they've cheated everyone.Yes I agree, but personally I give more importance to cheating on the pitch than off. Maybe because it's blatantly visible and I'm too dumb to have object permanence. So what I don't like here is that there is never this much outrage by the media when clubs normally cheat, for me, so blatantly.
Make a spending cap for all teams. Its that easy
>>157990642Smaller teams won't agree to it because that means they can't sell their players for inflated price anymore. Greed, anon, greed. It's a horrible thing.
>>157990642well..well..well...
>>157990633That's fair, I think what you're actually missing is quite simple: the scale. To put it into perspective, if we scaled it according to Everton and Forest's point deductions then City should be deducted around 450 points.
>>157990181Anon they're about to be booted from the English football league. Next season they'll be playing against Scunthope and Aldershot in 800 seats stadiums.
>>157990564>tf >tp
>>157989897Nope. Eventually your generation will die out and the record books will still day Manchester City dominated the Premier League for 15 years.
>>157989762>Leicester City.You mean the team that was robbed of all its best players within 1 or 2 years after winning the title? And they went to the traditional big clubs who could pay higher wages? That Leicester City?
>>157989897What team do you support?
>>157990258>rules that they went on to breakThey complied with PSR though. They got those sponsorships specifically to comply with PSR.
>>157991572You'll be proven innocent in the appeal bro. Mansour had every right to create fake sponsorships to comply with the rules he was breaking.
>>157989516They broke the rules so that they could have a competitive advantage over everyone who didn't
>>157989881Leicester who broke Championship FFP rules to get promoted?
>>157991915No, they were fighting for the little man. Every title they won by breaking the rules for their own benefit was shared in by all the other clubs who were subjected to the tyranny of the Red Cartel.
Just give every club a flat budget and let them compete with each other based on that if you want to make it fair. FFP rules were made recently specifically to try and keep the popular big clubs winning and making money while shitting on anyone else.
>you have to have your money come from pajeets, towelheads, and chinks.... you can't have it come from one towelheadclownshowjust make a fucking salary cap like we do or stop moaning
>>157992386Yes, money should come from fans that your club has captured through organic means instead of just dumping ridiculous amounts of outside money into a club to create your own new unstoppable monopoly. Fuck off back your cuckball leagues rewarding failure
>>157989516It's not dying. It's already dead.
man city reported higher revenue in the covid year than the previous yearthey reported higher revenue than <real madrid>how anyone thought their finances were anything but a farce is baffling
genuinely how did this get past pl auditors

>>157992450Having your transfers funded by the Rwanda tourist board: organic. vibrant. cultural. Having your transfers funded by the Abu Dhabi tourist board: evil. cheating. unacceptable.
>>157989516Yes, breaking the rules is generally bad in a sport.
>>157995414
Brits are eternal rulescucks that let their own children be raped en masse and didn't do anything about it because it would be against the rulesThe fact that the red teams rose to dominance in an era without these rules and the current rules basically mean they'll get to spend whatever they want regardless of results is completely lost on themThe EPL is about to mirror the rest of the country and will enter a period of great stagnation
>>157989516The FFP rules are just a solution to fix a problem which should have never existed. Bosman’s ruling is the reason why club football turned into a billionaires’ playground. If you are gonna turn football into that might as well make it. entertaining. I want to see Musk buying Southampton and win the Champions League instead of the same 5 teams
>>157996770>Bosman ruling destroyed a lot of the integrity of football, so let's make it even worse. If you don't see anything wrong with Musk's Southampton and Jared Trump's Ipswich Town in the Champions League final I just feel sorry for you.
Jared Kushner* I should say.
>>157996770The Bosman’s ruling is the reason why club football is dead.>>157997349Palestine cucks like you should not post about football.
>>157989516City will get a slap on the wrist. Football nowadays is about getting goyim's money. Same with Barcelona under Pepe. Same with Real Madrid 2013-2018.
>>157996770>Bosman’s ruling is the reason why club football turned into a billionaires’ playground.>>157997449>The Bosman’s ruling is the reason why club football is dead.Wrong. Jfc both of you have no idea what the ruling was about, you didn't even check the fucking wiki page for it.THIS is the sole problem club football - and therefore football as a whole - is dead. Retards like you.
>>157998195It's a well-known fact that everyone agrees with except you who has the apparent iq of a 3 day old turd.
>>157998467
>>157989516>even footing
>>157998572yeah, it was even. Man City wasn't unbeatable. Other EPL teams just weren't good enough for many years.
>>158004262>if you're not unbeatable then certainly you're equalUnfathomably stupid post
>>157989648North American style salary cap/salary floor but Europeans aren't ready for this conversation yet
>>158004355Problem is you'd need all the uefa leagues to agree, and this would only exacerbate talent flight to the desert
>>157989824>it never happened >actually, it happened. Do you remember this club?>NaY, anhON, it’Z tHE ExcePTionRetard
>>157989762Leicester actually broke a lot of rules and it's an open question as to why they've never been charged over it.There's no route to competing at the top without spending a lot of money and I mostly blame Arsenal and Wenger's lies about "player flipping" for insinuating otherwise.
>>158004379Presumably Leicester are still there, competing at the top with the Sponsorship 4 right?
>>157989824abramovich was jewish and chelsea didn't dominate for a decade.
>>157998195>>157998467Let me guess: The Mick supports Liverpoop and the Kraut supports Buyern. Ofc people like you keep gaslighting that the current system is fine when it only benefits you
>>158004336Your club just needs to get good and sign better players, faggot.
>>157989516True, i should be able to use bot aim and wall hack when competing in counter strike.
why didn't city just cooperate?
>>158015084In their twisted minds this can be seen as a weakness in their home country. They are not elected officials so they need to look stronk and competent (while they are not) at every point. When guilty and punished they can just say that the UK is corrupt and they are not in the wrong.
>>158015141You sir know the truth about how thirdies function. Im impressed
>>158004365Pretty easy to agree when UEFA sets the salary cap compliance as a requirement for participating in any UEFA competition.
>>158015084The question is why did the Premier League need City to "cooperate", and the answer is because they had 0 evidence or any case outside of this star chamber bullshit
>>158016263Grow up, Mohammed Mohamad Ahmed Khaldoun ibn bin al-Muhammad
>>158015181we have genetic memory from turks and stuff not to mention a contemporary reminder in the form of gypsy scum.
>>158016263>and the answer is because they had 0 evidenceOh then Man City should have just co-operated then.
>>158016976It's not City's job to prove a negative or help the prosecution
>>157989516>Football is a dying sportIt's the most popular sport in the world
>>157989516>>157989664Allsvenskan proves you wrong. Last season Mjällby won it for the first time ever, this season is about to do the same, both are majority fan-owned as mandated by Swedish law.
>>158017217*this season Sirius is about to do the same
