Yet so far the stains get off without penalty, Newcastle moaning they can't sign players due to FFP despite injuries yet Citeh have pretty much 2 sets of players for each position 🤔

I think Utd can't buy before they sell either but as you say, citeh just seem to have done whatever they want and nothing seems to be done about it.

This is why I don't get people's argument that City are fine to break the rules because they don't agree with FFP. Even if you don't like the rules, surely you can see that City are at a significant advantage because everyone else either adheres to them or gets punished for not adhering to them.

And then you have Chelsea who seemed to get round it by giving out stupidly long contracts.
All the clubs apparently agreed to the rules, some more than others by the looks of it.

I've not looked into it too much but the big difference is that Everton admitted their breach so it all gets dealt with swiftly. City haven't, it's also a much bigger case for a much longer period, and the question is less what the figures are (i.e. more or less than a £105m loss in three years) but how they got there. Since it's alleged that they have artificially inflated sponsor review and played Mancini (I think) off the books to reduce expenditure. So basically it's a much more complicated case, requiring more evidence and that's before you consider the money City will throw at it.

Is it getting around it? It's a financial lever. Yes, it means they can spread the spend over their contracts but it also means that they are "lumped" with a player on big money for 8 seasons who could be a flop. So there's a risk. I think UEFA have changed their rules to a max of 5 years for to amoritise but Chelsea were well within their rights to do what they did. Still think their business has been ludicrous though.

Absolutely spot on. What has and is happening with regards to city is a total disgrace and completely undermines the whole integrity of the competitions. As soon as they refused to hand over the required documents/information to the League(as every club has to),they should have been suspended immediately. We now have the farcical situation whereby clubs that comply with evidence get punished whilst a state owned set up just carries on refusing to cooperate. And even worse most of the press and media just fawn over them. Hardly a mention; you'd think they were being investigated for some minor technicality the way they get such an easy ride.It's pathetic.

See 17 mins on for a good explanation why the City case is very different to the Everton and Forest cases.
I hate City but it isn't favouritism.
The short answer is that Everton and Forest is 1 admitted breach where it's a case of mitigation - i.e. explanation why they exceed the permitted loss so shouldn't be punished. City's is 100s of charges - not admitted - that basically allege deceit, which a very serious allegation and difficult to prove.
