6 + 2 Point Deductions

Newcastle had a bad run of injuries I think mate. But they’ve also signed for the future, Gordon looks a snip, Barnes is a good player, Bruno, Botman,, Pope, Isack, Tonali, Schar, selling Bruno forgives a lot for them.

We really were so unbelievably bad with how we invested in players, we couldn’t have done it worse.

Even if we sell our best player every year, like we have done, we still manage to make losses.

There is an argument to be made for being the worst run team ever in the PL, maybe Leeds and Portsmouth were as bad, at least they got a run for it though - we never did.
Can't disagree with that!
But 'what would Everton's board do?'
 
If we take this kind though then every single club in the league is screwed. If the Glazers left United they’d go under, if the Saudis left Newcastle, if Abu Dhabi left City. Every club in the world would fold under that stress test.

You could even have a case for arguing that allowing sales of clubs to foreign states puts the clubs at more risk by exposing them to geo political unknowns.
 

It's been established that ffp is a scam to solidify the sky six dominance in the Premier league , also what isn't highlighted enough its hard to develop new revenue streams and fan bases when your club is unable to invest and getting points deducted or having the threat of points deduction fostering actual competition, how is that benefitting a team's growth? Nothing creates new supporters and sponsorships like a high profile hearing.... so sketchy
 
But I’m not so much taking about us. We are odd.
But forest, Villa?
They’ve spent huge amounts they shouldn’t have and this puts the future of clubs at risk.
Personally I’d make the threshold far lower but perhaps have more exceptions
Can you please explain how any club is to climb to the top and have a sustained period of success? From the second financial rules were put in place it favored clubs who happened to be doing well at that instance, hardly fair rules when the few at the top can harvest the many at the bottom for the best players.
 

8 of 20, getting near half the league and that list doesn't include City and whatever they are accused of.. Rules are not fit for purpose.. give us our 6 points back, admit the rules are not working, scrap any pending breaches, and draw up new rules.

Once they have finished with us and Forest they’ll then change the rules mate.

You seem like to assume that spending loads of money is the only way to do this. Spurs are the model that shows it can be done
