If chelsea and Man City are relagated

If they did get relegated it would not be fair for the rest of the championship who would have no chance of the top two unless they were additional penalised or like what happened to Rangers when they were relegated a few tiers down the pyramid

Rangers were liquidated. They ceased to exist. The SFA allowed a newly formed entity that had acquired some of Rangers assets to enter the SFL in the bottom tier. I would be delighted to see a similar outcome for City and Chelsea but I can't see them entering liquidation.
 
There would be no cause to relegate them further than than championship. The PL and the football league are separate entities so the FL couldn't punish them by relegating them any number of divisions. We've seen in the past where clubs have broken FL rules on over-spending but got promoted so have faced no punishments. It's a different jurisdiction. Neither club would be liquidated so no chance of them having to reset. Even if they handed out the same punishment as Everton (multiplied by the number of breaches) it would most likely be -1500 points in a single season. They'd be back within a year.
 
A long term transfer embargo would probably be the most effective punishment to the larger clubs but even that isn't going to affect their long term future.
Any points ban to City will merely cost them a title. It won't be enough to relegate them, I doubt it'll even be enough to keep them out the Champions League.

And they will be back in contention next season.

A transfer embargo is more likely to cause them issues if it was enforced over 3 seasons or something.
 
If PL can determine how many up and down, they could relegate either or both and say they are barred for a longer period, whether they walked enough points for promotion or not.
City simply relegated, then banned from PL for 2 further seasons where they had to obey Championship FFP rules.
Same for chelsea or anybody simply taking the ****.
That way EFL rules are not impacted.

Do you think they'd try and knob off to a super league of some sort in that scenario? Maybe funded by the Saudis?
 
Am I weird in that I don't care about FFP? It seems like legalised fixing by the biggest clubs with the biggest international markets. Unless all clubs get a fixed income and that's all they can spend there will never be financial fair play. If someone is eating the costs and not bankrupting the club as a historical asset to the town/fans where it should remain then I struggle to care.

We didn't care when we were mixing it with the big boys in the late 90's.

The PL and our league don't care when it is parachute payments, UEFA seem to barely care when it is PSG, Barca and Real doing it.

It seems to be almost un-policeable, is never dealt with quick enough to be of any consequence to relegated clubs, and hands a gigantic advantage to historically 'big' clubs with international fanbases, big stadia and CL money coming in every year. Liverpool and Man U cried when Chelsea did it to them, they're crying again about City. Whilst both being massively high spending shitehouses in transfer dealings themselves for the last 30-40 years, but now not successful.

Tough tiddies.
 
Would probably trigger the formation of that Euro super league. So on that basis I think a 'compromise' would be reached.
 
Can't see the Premier League going too harsh on them, as they won't want to lose the prestige of 2 of the last 3 Champions League winners.

Yes, they're likely to get it over this season, maybe a penalty that still gives City a sporting chance of CL next season and Chelsea no chance of relegation - say 15 points. City could still also win the CL again this season, unless UEFA weigh in as well
