    I get why fans of smaller clubs would try to push this narrative, but we don’t actually know what is going to happen with City. There seems to be an acceptance they’ll get off with it for some reason, but if found guilty their punishment would be multitude times more severe than a 12 point penalty.

    And Chelsea haven’t actually done anything illegal yet have they? Their potential breaches are in the future.

      The point is that the rules have come in now that the supposed elite are established. Meaning they’re protected from any would-be challenge.

      Pretty sure the method Chelsea used for their early purchases under Boehly are no longer possible. The loopholes have been closed.

      So if they did them now it would be a breach but when they happend they were perfectly fine.
