Arsene Wenger demands Premier League rule change and hints Man City won’t face full force of 115 alleged rule breaches


ARSENAL legend Arsene Wenger insists Financial Fair Play rules need to change in the Premier League.

The French tactician believes the Prem are putting themselves at a disadvantage compared to other competitive leagues who have changed their own FFP rules.

Nevertheless, the 75-year-old hinted that City won’t face the full force of the charges after their most recent landmark legal battle with the Premier League that saw both sides claiming victory.

The Citizens had attempted to overturn new rules relating to “Associated Party Transactions” – funding through sponsorship of companies owned by club bosses.

And in a major rebuttal of the Prem case, three senior Judges including a former Master of the Rolls ruled that the Prem’s Associated Party Transaction rules meant City were “unfairly blocked” from inking two major deals.

Wenger told beIN SPORTS: “I feel the rules of Financial Fair Play today have to be changed in the Premier League.

“Because they now face competition from other leagues, who have changed their Financial Fair Play rules.

“At the moment you cannot hear a club like Man City being charged by 115 different charges in a football season. I don’t believe in that.

“The Premier League already lost a case, the first case against them. I don’t know them [City], I can’t judge them.

“I just think, 115 different charges against a football club today looks like we are in an international administration.

“Financial Fair Play rules have to be changed and made more simple.


“They [City owners] came in and they had not faced any Financial Fair Play nor have Chelsea.

“Chelsea, they bought my players [from Arsenal] and Chelsea also bought what they wanted because there was no Financial Fair Play rules.”
