Also though, playing devil's advocate here, maybe City haven't breeched the rules? (I am pretty sure they have, but bear with me)

Maybe their global income is good enough to sustain the spend, whereas Forest (and Everton) did exactly what FFP is meant to stop - sudden huge splashes of cash on the hope it generates enough profit (success) in the short term to make them compliant? Man City have been spending big for years (and receiving huge income too), whereas the 'sleeping giants' of Forest and Everton simply cannot sustain it.

Don't slate me, just trying to throw out an alternative.

FWIW, I do think Man City have unfairly spent and used their financial backing to buy success at the detriment of the other teams.

Think the City charges go back a decade so while they're income now is likely huge it certainly wouldn't have been back then.

Yeah I am not saying they are ok and even I agree with it, but there are more complex issues here otherwise they would have been found guilty sooner IMO.
 
Oh Masters spoke in front of MPs today? That'll explain why they've gone ham on this recently then
 
Such a crazy challenge by Brewster.

Continues to be a disaster signing by Sheff Utd.
 
Well that was some fun injury time. Two red cards, a sub keeper coming on and facing penalty, and a point grabbed at the death.

But it's still an awful result for Sheff Utd. They can't create that volume of chances over the course of 90 minutes but fail to win. They will have many more matches where they fail to create a thing.
