I’m guessing all the mitigation brought them below the threshold. We lost a lot more than 19.5 but argued to have most of it thrown out. It’s all a joke though, at the end of the day they’re all just arbitrary numbers we’ve been crucified on.

We really should have got all our points back, but the six will have to do. We'll be in a comfortable enough position now if Luton don't win their game in hand.

As far as I can see this is just lip service cause when we get the 2nd charge brought up we'll be in the same boat as we were. Unless of course the nature of the charges are different, but I certainly won't be getting my hopes up just yet.
Who knows. I’m guessing so, though it certainly shouldn’t be worse. At least we have started to get some clarity.

Does anyone know when we should expect the Forest ruling? No clue if their situation is significantly different, but 6 points has them facing the drop.

You're confusing @ForeverEverton with @ForeverBlue92 mate.
The first person i mentioned is clued in with things, but the Benitez loving fella is totally and utterly away with the fairies!
It depends if we end up with another 6 points...I don't see right now us getting more points than forest for the rest of the season.
I don't understand either. The Appeals Board clearly said that the vast majority of our losses during the 3-year period came in years 1 and 2. The loss for year 3 was comparatively minor, which is what we tried to argue as mitigation: that we were trending in the right direction and had sorted the systemic problems out. The Board acknowledged that it was at least somewhat true, but essentially said that one year doesn't make a trend, so they wouldn't really take that into significant account.
But what that all means is that when year 1 drops off, how are we even in breach a second time? We sold Gordon, Kean, etc. and didn't have much of an incoming spend. How could we possibly have lost enough money last year to even get charged a second time?

Ah yes i forgot about that elephant in the room.
Unlikely to be 12 I'd say
Unlikely to stay at 6 either
That would be my guess. I expect another much smaller points deduction
If they go with 12, then we are punished 2/3 of the same years twice. And they seem to be moving towards the EFL rules which don't allow for that.
And what about next season? If interest payment to loan for the stadium are included, we will be in trouble again for psr for this season. I don't see an end in sight really.
I agree with others here who have said that Forest's fans are delusional if they think they're getting less than us. After reading the various bits of information from the Appeals Board and knowing what attempted mitigations were rejected for us, I don't see how Forest gets out of this without pretty much the maximum possible penalty, whatever that's considered to be.
Certainly can't be less than ours, surely.
