It's definitely frustrating but the rules have been "broken" in two very different ways. Everton, Leicester and Forest have all submitted their books that clearly show they have breached the rules they had a vote in adopting. It's a case of pleading guilty and hoping for leniency when the PL administers a punishment.
In contrast, City have submitted books that show no breaches and the PL is claiming that this is a result of falsifications (i.e. numerous breaches). City is claiming innocence and the PL has to build a complex case and successfully prove this case (i.e. the incidence of 115 breaches). That takes a ton of time.
