    They can sue, sure. Will they get anything from it ? Most likely nothing or some pocket change.

    The so-called “profit and sustainability” rule will go down as the greatest debacle in the modern soccer era.

    From now on, English football will be played in courtrooms. It will devolve into bickering, court battles and leaks to the British media. There will be endless recriminations because, I’m willing to bet, few clubs have entirely clean hands and clean owners. You’ll have dozens of investigation firms interviewing former club employees trying to find financial irregularities and illegal/immoral behavior to send to the police and media.

    The state owned clubs will undoubtedly use hacking to get phone records of rival owners (they bought Israeli spyware that bypasses Apple/Android encryption). And there will be no punishment as the hackers will be Saudi/Emirati government employees.

    This will be a huge mess.

    It is truly hard to overstate how much of a fucking idiot Farhad Moshiri is

    City have maxed out tier club from ground up. Stadium, academy, staff, branding, international rep, world class players… no amount of fines, points deductions or relegations will take that away…

    Whatever their punishment, they have all the tools to bounce back immediately. Similar to how Juventus did.

    If this is how things go, then Liverpool is sitting on an absolute mountain of money should City’s success be proven to be in violation of FFP.

      Sort of. The charges go only up to the season before Liverpool started competing for the Prem. It would be much easier for United to Sue rather than Liverpool.

    How about suing Chelsea or City instead? Oh, right, we don’t give a fuck in England. Stay in 2nd League, damn.

      Chelsea is being investigated right now though, and they’ll probably be in more trouble than City will ever get

        Chelsea are still clear. They had a lot of ground FFP-wise. If they don’t get CL this season they are going to need to sell big time though.

    I don’t know why Leeds are suing, if Everton had gotten the points deduction earlier Leeds would’ve been relegated by Leicester.

    Why would they sue Everton, they should sue the PL for not enforcing the rules.

    Would every club then sue City if they get charged?
