EPL FFP (Financial Fair Play)

[WuTang]

Never going to happen, if the premier league did that then Man City's lawyers get it overturned you are talking a bankrupt premier league, plus it would be dragged out over so many years. The legal representation Man City can afford and the amount of time and money they are willing to put into it to save face is enough to terrify the premier league, how do you beat an oil rich state in the law courts? They are never going to run out of money fighting it.

And how do you investigate the the fake (sorry, new!) UAE companies constantly appearing to sponsor Man City to the tune of whatever they need it to be, when said companies are based in the state that owns the club? This makes it virtually impossible for lawyers to investigate and prove these companies are false.

One of the new sponsorship partners, to the tune of almost £100m, was a company with no website, no history, no traceable directors and used AI images for the directors listed.

As soon as the PL allowed state owned clubs it was on a hiding to nothing. Newcastle will be the next to use the same loopholes, it's a travesty for English football that they effectively allowed cheating to occur with no legal way of stopping it.

It would probably be better to just let them invest the money, at least its honest.
