I might be wrong but did Man City only get to where they are because they bought loads of players before the FFP was bought in so when they sold them it made them have a load of money. Or is it down to the owners and their sponsorship now or was it a bit of both.
Similar to Chelsea when Abramovich pumped loads of money into them. I know you can't do that now unless you get a generation of kids like utd did where we aren't having to spend £100m a season.

City's owners got their cousins to sponsor the ground and shirts for £800 million over 4 years or something stupid like that. It's them sort of deals they were doing. We will never find out. They will get a fine and 2 transfer window bans, which won't bother them coz they probably have 1 billion pounds worth of players just sat on the bench.

If they were getting anything meaningful in the way of penalties for their 115 breaches of PSR, then they'd have had it by now. This will end with a light penalty for small breaches of little consequence, much to the embarrassment of the PL, who are realising they've picked a fight they are roundly losing.
