6 + 2 Point Deductions

Don’t care, we should refuse to play games and make a mockery of the games where we’re on telly, start kicking it in our own net, shooting from the half way line and such. Mass disruption before kick off. Don’t care if it will change the outcome or not, I want us to go down kicking and screaming, and make them look ridiculous in front of their global audience. We’ll look stupid if we’re still trying to partake in serious football matches at that point.
That's never going to happen. There would be further charges for that kind of activity. Might as well live in the real world.
 
No it isn’t. A further 10 point deduction puts us bottom and 4 points behind bloody Sheffield United. Stop being ridiculous.
If there is another deduction, Forest will inevitably have points deducted as well, leaving us both in a pack of four completely adrift from the rest. We'd be four points off Sheff Utd and Burnley, but you'd think Forest would be the biggest danger. Even then, you'd hope Everton have enough to stay up in that situation.
 
4 points to make up in 14 games including playing both of those teams plus Forest at home. I'd give us a fighting chance. Plus Forest would be at least 2nd bottom although I see them getting 14 or 15 points deducted.
They'll get the same as us I reckon. The commission aren't messing about with formulas, they've just gone 'ten sounds important'.
 
If we got 10points took of based on 19mil over. Forest if the so called rumoured 65mil or so they supposedly went over by should be at least double, but i doubt it will do. No doubt any deduction amount for forest will be as close to our deduction amount as pos, as they will claim its unfair or whatever. But it would be silly if teams say for example go over by 65mil and one goes over by say 10mil and both somehow get same amount deducted.
 
It would be a complete disgrace. Let’s stamp out this ridiculous mentality right now.
Actually, it's not a ridiculous mentality, it's a very real scenario and may very well happen. Stamp out a ridiculous mentality? - perhaps it's just being in the real world. Of course it would be a disgrace, no-one on here would disagree - but it's a very real concern that this may well be the end result whether you throw a tantrum or not.
 

Master just remind me of Thanos as the end of the Avengers when the clubs come and say sorry we failed master, and he says Doesn’t matter I’ll do it myself
 
You were on here defending Farhad Moshiri the other day and now you’re on here saying we’ve “reoffended” (we haven’t, we’ve been charged for the same losses we’ve already been charged for previously), make your mind up.
That's not true. We've been charged over losses for a different period second time round. If you're going to kick up a fuss, at least get your facts right. Farcical? Of course, but arguing something that isn't true doesn't help the cause.
 
Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for all the work that's been done by 1878 and trying to keep our case in people's minds, but we need to get enough points to stay up and put this behind us. We could still have a bright future, but we need twin some football matches!

We have got 29 points already, we will probably accumulate more than enough points on the pitch to stay up. If we’re having 20 of them taken away from us then it’s clear that nothing we do on the pitch will be enough to keep us up, so fight fire with fire imo.

If we get a 20 point deduction then I don’t agree that it’s possible to save ourselves on the pitch.

It’s a ridiculous mentality to accept a 12 point deduction as fine, yes it is.

It's just an ignorant thing to say at this point. How can the arguments against it be taken seriously if people can't even be bothered to get things right?
 
two 6 point deductions won't be the end of the world

Yeah it’s worded differently, but that’s basically just saying that you’d accept a 12 point deduction.
Totally incorrect. Utter rubbish. If you're going to pick silly little arguments go and do it elsewhere. I commented on the fact that Forest would be in a worse position if 2 six points deductions came our way (instead of the one 10 point deduction - presuming we got penalised the same.) It wouldn't be the end of the world (it wouldn't be fine) as we still have a chance. Stop being silly and calm down.
 
Further points deduction will send us down in my opinion. Absolutely fuming the club galvanises further and we win the championship in our last season at Goodison, promoted as champions we move to BMD and return to the premier league refreshed and in high spirits. 16 of the premier league clubs get deduced 20 points for FFP and we qualify for Europe drawing Real Madrid away. That’s how I dreamt it anyway.
