first of all,I'll discuss it in whatever thread i want and anyway you ended you're post at the top by saying that you hoped city 'get off' so you are infact bringing up the charges against them. You are basically saying you hope they get away with cheating which if that is what you think should be allowed then you would just have chaos in any league or division. Of course County have spent the owners money like city-so what? As far as i am aware County are fully declaring their costs etc,as are all the other clubs properly If one is caught out deliberately not they should be punished. It's a myth that somehow clubs can't spend money-they can and a sizeable amount. But there are structures and procedures in place over how much which ALL teams agree to abide by.
