Only another 79 pages to read.

It starts to get good around 51.

Don't know whether this has been asked, as pages move along so quickly.

Any feedback from the reaction on other fans forums? I don't mean Leeds, Burnley, Southampton forums, but other teams forums who don't have a dog in this fight.

Anyone remember this? 12 pts and then 6 and then none. And they got thrown out the FA Cup before appeal, nearly denying us our Elland Road day.

Football: Spurs are 'staggered' by punishment: Tottenham escape

ALAN SUGAR, the Tottenham Hotspur chairman, last night felt like the man who has avoided the death penalty only to be given life imprisonment. The Football Association's punishment for Spurs' financial irregularities included the deduction of 12 points from next season's Premiership campaign...

Any of our current players post anything worth the time on social media yet regarding today's decision? I'd imagine they're under an embargo...

Judging by the comments I’ve seen on Twitter and the like, some sympathetic, some mocking, but the majority only seem interested in what it means for Man City.

It would be a regulations, not a board of politicians

They're all on the take.
Lets face it football is so engrossed with money now its rotten. FFP isnt even the premier leagues. Its UEFAs They've just added their own sustain profit thing.
Its rotten mate to the core.

On page 72 ; @davek being his normal sipping half a pint of a mild on his own in the corner of the pub muttering to himself. Let's see if he lightens up.

"Everton have been lucky to get the points deduction in a season where they're likely to still get well clear".

THE most clueless cliche there's been today.

This team cant do a 40 point season much less a 50 point season.

All the positivity is based on the last few - unrepresentative - winning performances.

We are in the worst trouble we've been in for the last three seasons. This is a far greater existential threat than going into the last 2 games or last game of a season with it still in our hands. It's a way greater threat.

If you honestly think we need 40 points to stay up, you're worse than clueless.

He's just biding his time in this thread until that volcano erupts in Iceland.

Football is crap.

Who’s said this? I assume you have a source.

I saw a couple of articles with legal opinions but I will be damned if I can locate now. I must have read 50 or 60 different articles on the matter

Have you actually read the thread? There’s plenty of people blaming the board and Moshiri for the current situation.

Anyway, glad to have you back after such a long absence. Hope you’re not too red in the face with anger after such a bad day for us blues.

But not enough people (not just EFC fans) questioning the integrity of the rules and the people in charge of them which is ultimately the main issue at hand here.

The Tory Government pushed through the Saudi takeover of Newcastle despite their being clear signs that the Saudi Govt were not independent to the PIF fund yet a blind eye was turned.

The same Govt who then effectively suspended our USM sponsers which ultimately seen us break "FFP" when you consider our losses were £19.5m - we lost £24m over 2x seasons from the Finch Farm naming rights alone.

Going forward we had a £200-250m naming rights for BMD.

The PL wouldn't even allow the club to have the Siggurdsson losses accounted for during the time he was suspended.

Yet the scab 6 can do as they want, Chelsea, City and Newcastle can financially dope but we get hit with a record punishment for 1 minor breach.

Most have a vested interest being rivals of city or chelsea. They're not pro everton. Just want those two done.

Who cares?
Football fans are fickle dullards.
