Pretty sure you’re right that the PL won’t want Burnley to win, but as much as I loathe them, I can see why they would chance it; they’ll have calculated the legal costs and thought it’s worth risking it for a possible £50m payday, or even...
I just cant see how it can be proven mate, the case hinges on the time of the punishment - at the time the PL rules didn't state the punishment had to be in the same season, they did change the following season for our second breach, but the...
Funny thing here is I think the PL will do them here. I’d say the PL have told us to go to court and then lobbied as a billions pounds national industry authorities behind the scenes to laugh Burnley of court.
They won’t give a stuff about us...
Surely we’d be allowed to treat it as an exceptional item and not include in PSR calcs…..seeing as how we’ve already been punished for the offence and lost what €10m in prize money ?!
I'm trying to just pretend it's not happening tbh. If it does affect PSR, I'd rather take another deduction than have a fire sale. It didn't finish us off when we were on our knees, with an unfinished stadium and an absentee owner, so bring it on...
I don’t know to be honest, exceptional items are included as far as I know, I don’t think it’s happened before - certainly on the scale of the £50 mill Burnley are seeking. Even if it wasn’t it’s prob one fifth of the clubs annual income - which...
I looked at the teams with Seat Unique a while back, and the one I think you're referring to, at Villa, was discussed on here as a real outlier.
Though after checking it properly, I'd rather just have a ticket, and spend the money in bars etc.
Ive no idea, but id like confirmation if it is the case, if we were fined £50 mill we wouldn't have to sell Branthwaite or Illy for PSR.
Personally think its a very weak case Burnley have.
But i trust authorities with football governance not a lot.
Might not be about cash flow, might hit our PSR bottom line - we might need to come up with £50 mill from somewhere
That said I think Burnley are really misadviced taking this on.
