I think it’s time for clubs who are ambitious and are being restrained by these ****** trick of rules to not comply with them.  Let the authorities justify placing more onerous penalties on anybody doing what these clubs have done.  It’s a total and utter joke. 

I think Manchester City will get a fine (so what), a very small points deduction, which they will do some performative pearl clutching over, and then carry on spending billions. 

Enough is enough.  And fuck European competition too if we have to.

It does feel like there's a big old courtroom ding dong to be had about all this. I hope we're in a leading role.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven. I'd really like to see the whole financial model come crashing down and we go back to teams who actually have youth systems instead of buying the fuck out of the market because they can. I'm actually beginning to wish Ill on a game I used to love.

I was thinking as our and other fan bases are pissed with this travesty. I wonder how many club owners feel about having to toe the line, when the sky6 clubs like Chelsea and m115 just keep cheating with no real recourse.
Maybe they will take issue with the judgement.

I think thursday Tifo needs to say "Premier League Corrupt as Fuck"

I’m simultaneously furious and despondent with that Chelsea ruling. It absolutely stinks to high heaven. Villa have tried to play ball and comply with these rules despite the fact that they are clearly designed to stop us progressing and are not equally enforced. I am now genuinely of the view that we should just do what we want and just fight it out in court for years. Even if we lose in court after years, in the meantime we’ll have improved the squad, increased commercial revenue and probably won trophies. Whatever penalty we get won’t amount to a fraction of such benefits gained.

Chelsea's cheating - was a fine too lenient?

It’s not even a question.

Unfortunatley - this is hard to argue with.  From an owners perspective this is surely the best route for finanical success.

A Luton fan told me their punishment extrapolates to a minus 2,000 point deduction.  Anyone have more knowledge to test this?

He might be getting at this (from X):

“Luton got 10 points deduction for paying agents £160,000 so by a consistency metric Chelsea should have a 2,970 points deduction deduction. Fact.”

This is about Villa. Look at what had to do this summer. Everton. Forest. Leicester.

[cdbearsfan]

They're not even pretending not to be corrupt as fuck, any more.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It appears to be that way. I'm sure I heard the PL is only part of the investigation and are expecting the FA to dish out the points deduction.
