Of course, it’s never been an even playing field financially, but the disparities between the richest and poorest teams are starker than ever, and if you look at the stats for who comes where in the Premier League, it’s consistently the wealthiest who fill the top spots, with teams like Leicester being very rare anomalies. Money’s rules and money rules.
USA Owners Clubs,Utd,Pool,Ars..
Conspired greedy Super League
But City are Cheaty
City Vs Establishment?🤔
That's not true look at Chelsea, west ham were bigger but Chelsea went into huge debt and took 15yr of continuous debt until they started to get money back, city meanwhile just couldn't wait 20yrs so they cheated instead.
👆Needs to comment on everything.
Talent rules. Money follows.
Wokey.
@@tastypymp1287 Cope. Seethe. Cry. 😿
This happens year after year, the punishments need to be more severe
Did you listen to the bit where it was stated that there was no evidence of cheating?
no evidence mate. keeping crying and cope
who have been punished?
there is 0 evidence of any cheating, hence city a seeking legal charges against the league for bringing up lies to hinder the club
FFP is clearly designed to prevent smaller clubs from challenging those with longer histories. Based on revenue and past performance is a major handicap for smaller clubs. Look at how much Chelsea have spent in under 1 year, around half of City's total spend.
Nope it was designed to stop clubs going bankrupt by depending on rich owners for their finance.
@@lilbaz8732 You cannot be that naive....
City has never been a small club. If you really want to help smaller clubs we need to completely change how the money is distributed through the football pyramid.
@@lilbaz8732 Oh yeah I'm sure that's why half the clubs in the world like Manchester United, Barcelona, and Real madrid ARE IN DEBT
@@Nal1 most companies have some form of debt. Most people do aswell, mortgages etc...
Ask yourself why did smaller clubs vote for ffp? The efl voted it in. The prem (which needed a 2/3 majority). Most countries in europe. If it was only a plan to keep the big clubs big and the small clubs weak, why would they vote for it?
This is so unfair because these rules basically means big teams should remain big while small team should remain small. If they want to be fair they should say all clubs should spend the same amount of money not wat the club is worth coz all clubs ain't equal. Psg have all the stars and expensive players. Real Madrid use to do that.
All the clubs in the Premier league started in the same boat. Small clubs like City had 147 years to become a big club, Liverpool, United and Arsenal became big clubs off there own backs through hard work and success on the pitch. That didn't happen for city so we should allow them to piss over 150 years of football history and be in a position they haven't earned all because they've been given unlimited money to spend by a state with an active slave trade who are using them for the sole purpose of sportwashing there dirty global image?
Absolutely not there are clubs which have grown organically and their overall sponsorship, commercial and broadcasting revenue has increased over the years Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth and Fulham have over the years staying within FFP rules.
A big point is that you should not spend more than you earn. All agree on that. Who does that hit? The smaller clubs will need years to develop their revenue - taking it step by step. The bigger clubs a very different possibilities to further expand their income sources. It really hits the smaller and middle clubs the most. Thus its effect is that the big ones remains big and the smaller ones must have continued success both on the field and in economics to to make a huge stp upwards. The fair play rules majkes the steps steeper and higher for small clubs to climb.
We all know big money ruined football in the UK..
It depends on what you would call ruining football, we have the best sides in Europe, our national team now consistently gets to semifinals/finals the lionesses actually won the Euros, I mean just because your or my favourite team isn’t winning doesn’t mean the game is ruined, if anything the game is better than ever in the U.K.
It’s probably not sustainable but to act like the game is worse is crazy
@@SgtS1lky tell him
Meanwhile in Spain Barca is busy buying refs. LoL Our fore Fathers who brought us this beautiful game are grieving.😏😏😏
Their sponsor is their owner. That is already a clear conflict of interest. Pointless.
Well first of all, that's not true! However - it's funny that nobody seemed to find that an issue when King Power sponsored Leicester, Aviation Gin are a major sponsor of Wrexham etc. etc.
No, it is true. All of their sponsors have money funnelled through them by their owners. Cheats.
@@jackpowrie3 that’s not cheating is it 😂
@@Fozykeno it’s considered cheating by FFP standards, that’s why numerous charges relate to over-inflated sponsorship revenue/income.
@@TT-hx9nj not when you cook the books in their entirety, make up how much the payments are and run the club at a catastrophic loss but pretend you are within FFP. But obviously, they are totally innocent.
Look at this journalist body language it's so plain to see the bitterness
Nope, there was no bitterness there. Just reporting.
There’s no point of FFP if it only issues fines. Points deductions and being banned from Europe are the only punishments that will work
How about "If guilty". How can a team that is solvent be subject to these charges (under FFP) yet a team that has debts ( loans an unpaid transfer fees) of almost £1Billion be ok under FFP. The City of Liverpool is now to become the 51st state of the US with the take over of Everton. People go on about the UAE and Saudi and their connection to the PL yet after the Everton takeover, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United and Liverpool all have US owners. It seems to me that the American owners are unhappy with the competition from non US owned teams and want to stop it. Also Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Burnley, Chelsea, Crystal Palace are under US control. Anyone see a pattern?
@@grimreaper-qh2znhow about, understand City have 115 charges? There’s no way not one of those charges aren’t real, cuz otherwise this headline of 115 charges would be ridiculous. City deserve punishment, and they need one of the worst punishments, or even multiple.
@@yobask8855 You should check the points. Most are just repeats of the same charge, year after year after year. There are basically 4 charges and anyone of these being dismissed gets rid of about 30 or so of the other charges.
@@yobask8855the 115 charges sensationalist headline you keep hearing is actually comprised of a much smaller amount of actual charges broken into much smaller sections. If you read through the charges it's actually like 4 big charges and they will all be dismissed immanently because there is no evidence to support any of the charges. Saying that they must be true because of their quantity is a complete fallacy, and the headline is obviously ridiculous because that is what sells the papers and increases viewership of the news.
@@all-caps3927 They aren’t just headlines. The reason nothing is happening is because the the Premier League don’t want to punish man city because of the total views they would lose if they were to punish them severely, which is why there is no evidence, they just want to stall it out as much as possible. And saying that at least some are true, isn’t complete fallacy, because how random would it be to bring up 115 charges? The media praise man city so much that they wouldn’t just do them randomly like that. And even if a lot of the charges could be small, if u add them up, it’s massive so that makes ur point invalid. Just please stop talking
Good God 🤦🏻♂️That was 5 years ago !
Any chance of having some more up to date information about the current situation and the past 5 years finances ?
So City has been cleared once by a court but then fresh charges were brought against them by uefa. If they are cleared again, can city sue uefa for damages for tarnishing their reputation?
And this is why a transfer market budget cap should be implemented
No mid-season transfers allowed or change of manager > benefits the wealthy only ! Squad for the season !
Yes. The ffp is definitely nothing supported by the “big” clubs in order to never have equal competition. No no
I am an American and have followed Liverpool since 2018. I honestly can't seriously take the Premier League fully seriously after this.
But it's okay to be From Trafford and have a £500,000,000 debt? WTAFF is that about?
The debt is the owners that bought out shares with debt
City has been cooking the books there's a difference
Also united fans protest their owners literally every year, I haven't seen city do the same once
So why havent all of their financial documents been seized?
civil case not legal case
Why are you only reporting this now? Typical BBC
I made a formal complaint to the BBC but of course it was brushed off.
Subtitulado en español ya por favor
Man city engañado. No es necesario más palabras.
😅They did that in almost 20 years, then finally on the BBC "news". If the team could change their squad just like playing FIFA video game, that must be something wrong.
Where is the proof?
Where have you been for the last 5 years? :D
@@97D3ADLIVERPOOLFANS The court has the evidence already. City have wrapped it up in legal mumbo-jumbo so we don't get to see it now. However, there was evidence they over-inflated shirt sales from right after they were taken over. It was common knowledge. I suppose you've only been following this story for five minutes, and armed with the results of whatever Google search you did, feel as though you're an expert. 😀
As for spending - it's irrelevant in context of this argument. Spending above the allowed ratio is the issue.
@@MaterLacrymarum There is no proof
@@yikeslikes4457the der spiegal emails are the proof
It was a third title win in a row for Man City, this year.
I am an Aberdeen, Inverness CT and Ross County fan.
How can you support all 3 from hibs fan 💚
@@adidasaddict2023 Hey at least he's not a Hearts fan😂
So what?
Teams should be fan owned
This more or less will taint City's legacy if it keeps coming...
City has no legacy. It died when the dictatorship took over. Nobody respects that entity now.
but it won't keep coming because there is no constructive evidence to prove that we're cheating
Not will. Has
Rubbish, this probably an Arsenal fan coming out with this audacious theory
Makes Leiscters championship run even better.
English media is saddened by city dominance that they hoping they get stripped of titles bcz they are man Utd n Liverpool supporters
We'll said,bro
But they don't know city is pride of England
That’s quite the leap in assumption
Yes.
Add a draft like the NBA
Short answer, yes
first chelsea charge against roman involving with putin now against city damn the hyprocrisy and jealousy is too much
Exactly
Then the European Super league would be a great idea to avoid this new British vandetta of malicing PL foreign owned teams
Agreed they don't want a team as good as city beating them perhaps super league do
Be careful what you wish for because where city lead most teams follow
financial fair play rule is questionable and makes no sense it designed against clubs like mcity spending in football is inevitable competition too .fifa is a greedy company that need to be checked first .
sorry but if they just get a points deduction dont even bother doing it
Basically Man city football club is run by Arabs, that had a lot of money.
This video is sponsored by Liverpool F.C. 😂
I use to think Nigeria is Corrupt but never knew i was joking until i was hearing strange things from UK and Europe 😮
Loss of all honors won during period of rule braking, relegation, owners forced to sell up.
Only the bbc would post this after they have won the league
As they should. Why should cheaters have uninterupted glory?
When were they supposed to run it?
@@dlaldlaldlanutsntnstn1418 who cheated man united?
Arabic Culture - depends on cash inducements - this is how business works - maybe World-wide. Follow the Money !
They’ve bought the title, over and over again. They have unlimited funds, their pick of top players, a huge squad so injuries really don’t matter. This all mounts to clubs like Man City having a huge, unfair advantage. This has to stop or it’s going to damage the sport irreparably.
Like Blackburn did.
Like Man Utd did.
Like Chelsea did.
It's always gone on in the Premier League. Too much at stake to not do so...
Damage the sport irreparably? That horse bolted with the creation of the Premier League in 1992!
It is what every other winning club has done.
@Paul Leach When did Manchester United buy a title 🤔. It was our youth setup that helped us win the league
@@lsd358 Cole, Yorke, sheringham, keane we’re all part of your youth players 😂
A pattern emerges, true or not...should non-western investors stay away from owning a PL team???
Not true. In fact, it's a rather stupid thing to imply. FFP applies to all teams, no matter who owns them.
@@MaterLacrymarum lol
The problem is that Manchester United and Arsenal have spent even much money than City, and yet no one talks about them. I am not siding City, but we have to mention other teams as well.
Because they have spent within their means of what they have earned. Too difficult for some fans to understand it seems.
@@Crovon1 Actually, I know that, but if you think that Manchester United and Arsenal have earned more than City in these years and that is why they have spent much money. You are literally making mistake. Not only City, but also all big six clubs in the premier league are doing the same thing.
@@mw1076 I don't think you realise how big Arsenal and Man Utd are compared to City. Just because City are dominant in recent years, they don't have the history or fanbase. Both Utd and Arsenal have global fanbases.
@@Crovon1 yeah , I agree with that, but city is also a big franchise nowadays. We are talking about a team who wins 3 premier league titles in a row, not a ordinary team in the second or third championship of English football. The whole world now watch their matches because of their players and their quality of playing.
@@mw1076nah city are small mate compared to other top teams with history. I don’t see many folk wearing city shirts outside Manchester
the timing of this piece is incredible - honestly what has the BBC become?
Perfect timing indeed. Go Inter!
What do you mean the timing is incredible... (BTW, Arsenal fan). Of course their gonna post it when its most relevant you cretin 😭. Its the whole point of news. It's like covering a natural disaster AT THE TIME OF A NATURAL DISASTER
journalism was always about timing, are you are a 15 year old m*ron
@@Joey-ct8bm Inter... wow, have you seen how many FFP violations they have... would seem your support of Inter is actually nothing to do with financial fair play!
West ham fan here called jealousy simple as that. If it was manure or Liverpool nothing would be mentioned. City have best coach in the world and team too now get over it you manure dumb arses
Stop bringing this topic up...if FA will do nothing.....
How does the charges have anything to do with winning?
British police shot down two dogs. By their desperate move BBC not uploaded a single news.
Rumours are, the chargers have been dropped.
Arsenal won the league just not been made legal yet
The PL should come out and present their evidence against City.
lol don't hold your breath
The question is, is Man City corrupting the Premier League Refs to look the other way when Man City players keep committing fouls inside the 18-Yard Box time after time and get away with it, and in the end Man City would Win League by one point over Liverpool?
Man City on FIFA 23. Cheat mode activated. 🤣😂🤣
The Premier League charges are simply a reiteration of the matters between 2013 and 2018 on which City were exonerated by CAS and on which, between the inception of FFP and 2014 they were fined by UEFA. Many of the charges are small beer in terms of overspending such as overpaying Mancini and Toure, both of these having denied that this had happened. I am not impressed at all with the so-called academic expert, whose views may have been truncated. The legal loopholes were not evident in CAS exoneration of City on those charges which were in time and not time barred.
Not exonerated > money talks > unproven or out of time was the appeal verdict
People are just jealous. No wonder their rivals are leading the witch hunt against them
To win a treble 🏆🏆🏆 with those charges don’t think so IF YOU DO your just biased
Why you bring this issue at this critical time of season or you have agenda. Nothing will stop us from achieving the historic treble
You haven't won it yet enjoy cooking more books
"Us" - LOL 🤣

Financial fair play is a fraud 😂😂The should go up to 1992
Correct, and it's been bastardised to suite, it's not what was originally planned for it.
That have always broken the rules. Money stops nonsense. That’s why the get away with it. Just wait and see. They would be get away with all those charges labeled against em.
in my country.... some team in leage can buy any player and any price.....what shame for my country leag...JDT team
Abu Dhabi will bribe and corrupt the independent commission in the uk like they did with uefa 😂
Surely if guilty they have to be stripped of title????
All teams try to hlend the rules for their own benefits is stupid to just recently trybto use 1 successful team yo try to mitigate yhe mess they themselves created when MU was on top no one look gor the finances but because MC is owned by Arab's now is a problem... I'm on board to crush everyone that break the rules but at least be consistent....
In other sports, if you cheat you're disqualified. Should they have fined Ben Johnson in '88 and let him keep his gold medal? No. Kick the cheats out. Ban divers for 6 matches each. Give us our game back. City are buying up all the trophies which means there's none left for other clubs to win. We are becoming like Ligue 1. Managers get sacked for not winning trophies when there's none left to win. It's a joke. Remember when Wigan, Portsmouth, Oxford, Southampton, Sunderland, QPR, Swindon could win an FA Cup or League Cup? That's REAL football.
Please pray for Grand Theft Auto 6 out and for rain in Novocherkassk
Wow, speaking of being sore lossers 😂😂😂
They would finally be caught, no matter how long it takes
もうマンチェスター・シティFCは誰も止められない
They kicking out of the Premier ship for 10 yrs
The person who said their was no evidence is a liar. In cas report it literally says in black and white they broke the rules but the charges are time barred 🤣
Jealousy gets you nowhere .....sad munich odiuots.
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND what is fair today in sports when a man says he is a she and competes
What a load of old crap........
They can't even fill the stadium 😅 BS
Pep caught cheating not once but twice
Barcelona & city
No trophies for London, again!😂😂😂
They’re cheats
What a clown
Did BBC break the rules of transparency and journalism with Lineker’s issue?
there for they should stop reporting on other issues?
@@Bubajumba they should just lead by example. Otherwise, they are loosing their credibility
@@renato42k They suspended him for not doing his job or following the guidelines. Isn't that exactly what you want to happen to city?
@@Bubajumba Not exactly. Lineker was suspended because he freely expressed his views that it turned out it was not aligned with the uk gov. What Bbc did was go against freedom of speech which is above any guidelines or rules.
@@renato42k Freedom of speech? this a public platform? nobody hired him to express his personal opinion. Obviously I think this got overblown but personally I see no problem. Its their platform, not linker's
Non cooperating ManCheaty 115+ should be renamed ManSHIFTY 115+
It’s easy to say the club with the most money will win the most domestic trophies so I.ll say it, the club with the most money will win the most domestic trophies.
Man city are that greedy they belive they earn more profit then Real madrid who are owned by the spanish goverment blaten cheats
They won. They won. That’s that
Theyve bought everything
@ianodonnell5765 You would believe anything, huh? SMH
its impossible to never sell players but keep buying world class players legally. where is the money coming from? their giant stadium? city is an insult. should be banned for years
So much talk no action…
We have never spent more than we earn. PSG are the ones who spent more and more every year. We on the other hand signed Haaland for 56 million.
LOL....... 🤣
I don’t think so, but a club like Bayern Münich actually earn money to finance the club.
City is a mediocre club globally. Who knows city apart of the owners country and UK fans? U can’t say what you just said. They spend way more than what they make. They buy their way through year in year out. Money stops nonsense!!
Because cfg owns alot of clubs which generate revenue
You're a clown. The earnings are literally what is disputed here. Sponsorship revenue. If you think city can generate more sponsorship revenue than Real Madrid, then you should check yourself into a mental hospital
Above market value haha! Who is to say what the market value is when the value of anything is determined, by definition, by how much someone is willing to pay for that product and service. If the investor believes they received a good deal or believes the investment was worth the amount of they paid, how can you prove that they over-paid!? That is absolutely nonsense.
Yes, Cas said that the sponsorships were not proved to have been above market value.
THEY NEED TO BE RELEGATED AND STRIPPED
Investigate and talk shit all you want and we’ll keep winning titles and ripping teams apart haha
Arsenal fans coping.
FFP was basically brought because nly historically rich clubs could spend not us. I know we are innocent 100 percent.
Actual race is for number 2
Will move to 3, 4 as more unregulated money comes in.
Here after feeling about everton
I’d argue for the end of the prem.
Which rules stop your nonsenses
Football is a Crazy game .
Worst Game is football..😂😂
You know when it will end, when they drop to league two, pay 300 million fine, and the UAE filth will be banned from football.
ManCheaty have 115+ cheating charges against them and for the 2nd time round🥴🥴 for which they should be docked 20 points for each of the last 10 seasons, throw them out of all competitions, fine and relegate 2 divisions back to division 3 where they belong.
Of course they did!
i knew this was gona happen... Man city defends their title ..now people pulluin out all stops to discredit Man City ... this is just wrong...
So they win the league and on the same day you bring up old charges.
The charges are still very much a thing.
@@Robert-ks5ix I think he meant that they brought it up cause they won the league..

bigger money = bigger chance to win
Chelsea leave the chat…
nothing will happen. the premier league is weak and will just give a fine.
The same dome of FC Barcelona-Negreira that triumphed while they paid the arbitration committee but with oil-dollars.
