The English Premiership

[hwmook]

no one

Seem like it, mostly overpriced and overhyped players. 57m for lisandro martinet?

Manure spending 70M on 31yo Casemiro. Lol No wonder that side has problems. Not sure how they beat 'pool.

Casemiro is a good, good player but like most Brazilians will probably flop in the EPL. They won't spend 80M on De Jong but 70 on a guy who will probably retire in 4-5 years. You can't make this shit up!

It's incredible. The guy's a beast. The crazy part is that he also has had some bad misses. He could have had double the amount of goals. City creates a crazy amount of chances for him.

Liverpool knocked off by Nottingham Forest!

So Man city is Juve of EPL

Gotta say, the game needs to he cleaned up. UEFA slapped them with a £27M penalty and 2 year suspension from competitions in 2020. They overturned that to £7M and no suspension. DRASTIC difference in opinion between UEFA and CAS. Begs the question....how is that even possible. If the investigation by UEFA was performed accurately, than even if they were off in some of their assessments, they couldn't have gotten it THAT wrong, right?

Anyway, the whole situation is back now and hopefully (if what's being said is true) they get what they deserve.

Charges (from Daily Mail article) include:
-Inability to provide accurate financial statements in relation to revenue (more specifically, sponsorship income - SURPRISE SURPRISE)
-Not accurately disclosing contract arrangements with their manager (Mancini at the time - apparently they were making off-the-books payments to him)
-Failed compliance with UEFA FFP - used other entities to circumvent the rules and show higher 'profits' (not clear if this is what they had a settlement for or if this is a different period)
-Broke rules related to approaches to youth players

Those are just a few topics. I can't imagine all of this will just go away. We may be seeing a Bing EPL scandal unvailing in the next few months.

I'm also curious to see how Chelsea will "cover" those 700M they spent for reinforcements after american coup.

Spurs obliterated by Leicester... If there is any hope...
