I really don't like the implication in that statement, though, that a deduction of any kind is a foregone conclusion. Hardly seems like a fair and impartial process we've got going here, where the focus is already on what the punishment will be before the defendant has even been tried, much less found guilty.
Granted, that could just be the media angle of a pro-Red journalist, but still. We as a club have to be geared up more for the fight this go-around to deal with nonsense like this.
Because 2 of the 3 years will be double jeopardy, but 1 of them will be entirely new jeopardy.How can double jeopardy come into mitigation and then they do us anyway, that makes no sense to me.
We're found guilty the minute we submit accounts that don't comply with the regulations and thats what we've done we need to stop thinking we're innocent in this because we're not we can argue that the regulations shouldn't exist or that the punishments are too much but not really that we're not guilty.I really don't like the implication in that statement, though, that a deduction of any kind is a foregone conclusion.

If they're discussing double jeopardy then surely there should be no points deduction for the second charge.
To be charged twice in one season because the first charge is effectively delayed by a season is extremely harsh.
I think it probably is foregone, to be honest. I hope I'm wrong.
The fact that the appeal only got 4 points back on the grounds of proportionality/severity of the punishment being too harsh with an appeal to EFL guidelines indicates to me that we've lost the argument on whether the stadium interest costs are allowable. This is an argument we thought we were correct on when we drew up the budget for the playing squad in terms of wages and costs - so it stands to reason that we're probably going to breach again (because we thought we had about £20m worth of breathing room that we actually don't have). The appeal document even makes reference to this - that we committed an honest mistake, not that we deliberately misled the PL.
In my mind, the only way that doesn't happen is if the club was incredibly financially prudent and chose to cut down costs even further. Can't see that happening if the Premier League have charged us again based on our initial presentation of the accounts.
It's not all doom and gloom - getting 4 points back is a huge lift on the squad in terms of pressure - we probably don't play so unbelievably nervously against Palace under the lights if we're much more clear of the relegation zone. But we need to make that period count, and we need Forest to get the book thrown at them/Luton to continue shipping goals.
