6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Eggs]

…..my big hope is a little tension will go out of performance and the team will play with a bit more freedom. We were doing so well before the initial penalty, if we can return to that form it will go a long way to giving us a much needed buffer for the 2nd charge.

Getting some points back is better than nothing and lifts that cloud from the club and players.

Just one more to go!

209. First, the benchmarks relied upon by the Club, notably the EFL P&S Rules and EFL Guidelines. The EFL Guidelines reflect the extent of the breach in money terms. They have a starting point of 12 points, but that is “top down”: excluding aggravating factors, it is the maximum deduction. The points deducted are reduced from 12 if the breach of the EFL upper loss threshold is less than £15m. For a breach of the EFL upper loss threshold of no more than £2m, and leaving aside “trend” (dealt with below), the points deduction is three points.210. Absent any particular mitigation, three is therefore the minimum points deduction prescribed by the EFL Guidelines, with an increase in that minimum to reflect extent of breach in money terms of one point per £2m-£2.5m up to a maximum of 12 points leaving aside any particular aggravation

That could be interesting for Forest

Reduced to six points. BBC website

 

[Yorkiebars89]

absolutely yes.

I thought it had to be for every 3 year period on the losses?

 

[Runub]

Not surprised. This is a bad outcome and with the second charge still to come we still do not know where we stand. Clearly all this uncertainty could be affecting players and results and the uncertainty looks likely to continue until the end of the season and beyond. Absolute ridiculous.

 

[Neiler]

Look forward to getting another 6 point deduction soon.

If Forest get one too though........

 

[TGW89]

Well if Forest get treated the same and they go easier on us due to the positive trend in our losses, this as far as I'm concerned is how the table now looks:

 

[Marius57]

Pathetic. Not good enough.

We will get 4 points for the 2nd sanction to make it 10 anyway.

Forest’s point deduction enough to keep us safe after our second points deduction. That’s where I think we’re headed.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Who won 'Guess the points we'll get back'?

Me...

I think it'll be 4 points at most.

It's not a truly independent appeal board and the Prem won't allow more than half the punishment to be restored IMO.

Unless they reject mitigation, but say the penalty was too much.

Always felt it would be 4/less than half because the PL select the panel, brief the panel and will want to save face.

-6 points for £19.5m would set the criteria for Nottingham Forest and co, though unlike us who have had to carry -10 on our backs for most of the season, Forest wont have too.

Loser club with a loser mentality. More interested in the facade of getting something back than the fact that no point deduction should be acceptable for an off field financial breach. They will just put the points back on and more with the second breach. Paid out thousands of pounds to some so called super silk and got virtually nothing for it. Club is still ran like a bag of cack.

Fuming tbh.

 

[luuk_deventer]

The ironic thing now is that we’ve been arguing for the Prem to speed up the whole process, now we’d ideally want it all slowed down again so that 2nd charge is only brought in next season.

 

[Lobworm]

Me...

As bent as the premier league this place.
