6 + 2 Point Deductions

I can see that super league thing being started up again in the near future, if City etc are gonna get done.

Why would the appeal limit them?

A 30 second video of Colin Chong doesn't instill confidence.

well who else moshiri? he doesn’t give a f

We will get another 9 point deduction when the 777 deal collapses and we can't pay our biĺls and go into administration.

When the sports media were all talking about independent regulators, the PL came out and charged City with all those offences, the fact that City have kicked it down the road again meant we were perfect for them to make an example of.

That is the only reason they have been so harsh, to keep the regulators away.

That isn't true. The Premier League has been trying to pursue City for years. City has just used the courts to prevent the Premier League from holding them to account. Instead of doing that Moshiri wrote the accounts out on the back of a cigarette packet and tried to blag it.

I tell you one thing
Davey duck's sister must be some woman !

Richard Masters has only ever scuttled us harder than her.

Can definitely see the points deduction being reduced upon appeal.

However it does show how incompetent we have been and how we have been run.

777 now pull out buying us and we are left with the current shower.

Who's having a drink tonight?

Started ages ago

If this was City, Chelsea or the RS there would have been far more made of this.

Keeping our heads down ahead of an appeal isn't the way to go about this. We should be kicking and screaming about this, its a farce.

Going along with any concept of respecting the process of appeal isn't worth talking about, the whole process is a kangaroo court and we should be calling it out for what it is.

 

[blueconverse]

unhinged?

We are tapped. Years of Kenwright and sharing a city with that lot has taken its toll.

if there’s a silver lining to this it’s that you can go onto twitter now and see the clear divide between proper football fans who seem to have a bit of sympathy for us and the fortnite virgin twitter freaks who are celebrating it - you know the ones i mean

The 17.4 million infrastructure is spurious at best though. Essentially EFC is saying that the R&M and bank drafts for working capital went to construction costs when their agreements stipulated the money was for working capital.

This is the largest disagreement and if the loan documents state the money is for working capital, EFC don’t have much of an argument.

The 5.8 million for youth development is a fairly ridiculous argument from the club as well

^ this.

The fact that someone or a number of people at board / leadership level thought that an intra-company loan from the stadium company to the football company to cover interest payments on loans that are publicly available agreements stipulate what the money can be used for and is charged against, is absolutely scandalous.

It's negligence of the highest level.

And then those people that signed off on those agreements didn't even bother to give evidence to the comission.

Suppose one of them must have been in a headlock at the time.

 

[Moomin]

Still far too big a punishment for going less that 20 million, that's nothing in the PL these days... that just about gets you an almost average player.. 10 points deduction for a 20 million overspend joke..

Reality is, its not a 20 million overspend though.

It was way more than that.

Knocked Gaza off the headlines on BBC news.

 

[Tipp blue]

…I think they’re limited to what they can say at this point.

Why.. could have called out the PL as corrupt an organisation who bowed to the cries of you can't punish the fans when it was the scab 6 only to punish the fans of a club who spent a little bit more than allowed.
