6 + 2 Point Deductions


Didn't they only ask for 6 from Forest?

And they've asked for 17 from us (for a total breach comparable to Forest's)

Pl sanctioned for 8. Reduced to 4 by IC.
Just concentrating on the first charge. and before the IC. Pl pushed for 4 more points than forest. Even though forest breached by more.
someone tell me they're not targeting this club.
 
Hopefully be in jail when it’s revealed that he committed mass scale fraud when working for City by helping cook their books for 10 years.
unlikely to happen as he left them before they got taken over.
I think they’re talking at cross purposes. I think he’s saying that the PL have determined there was a sporting advantage and the other guy is saying there wasn’t one. Not sure those positions can’t both be right.
 

This entire process is unfair because from the outset there were no clear rules as to the defintion of possible
infringements and the accompanying penalties. Plus, there has been a whole raft of subjective announcements:
Forest were said to have been afforded a smaller points penalty because they co-operated more than EFC, plus EFC
were criticized in the latest report about not forecasting Russia sanctions when the Premier League were still working
with Russian interests after EFC had stopped!

EFC has been run badly and deserve a penalty but I agree with the pundits above who think that EFC is a target who can't bite back.

The process will be updated in summer to ensure that none of the big boys will be burnt in the future and mugs like EFC and Forest
will be little more than asteriks in this year's league table.
 

The League have put so many controls in place to influence results now, from VAR, to the added minutes inconsistencies, linesmen raising and not raising flags depending on who is attacking, FPS and now sporting penalty points. They can write their own story. The whole thing is a farce. Its disgraceful all fans have accepted the shafting year on year, the soul of the game is being eroded worse every year.
People just want to believe what they see and that’s been taken away from us. Trust and perception are everything, and like you say from VAR to PSR there are now so many levers of control for people in secret rooms to change everything you think you’re seeing.

Scored a goal? Hang on, don’t actually celebrate, let’s try find anything possible wrong with it first. Won a game? Woah there, check your capitalisation of interest costs to see if you keep the points.

Half the league now feels like there’s a conspiracy against them, none have a better case than us, but at the end of the day even if we’re all completely wrong they’ve created that perception by moving the game so far away from what fans can see on the pitch.

Pretty sure PL also argued they should get two points back for cooperation.

14.5 The Premier League then considered the extent to which the sanction should be discounted to reflect mitigation. It suggested that the combined mitigation provided by the two factors of an early plea and cooperation justifies a discount of two points. This would be a meaningful reduction to a points deduction of the size suggested by the Premier League as the starting point (i.e. two points off eight) and would satisfy the twin objectives of fairly rewarding Forest for its conduct and appropriately incentivising other clubs in future cases to adopt a similarly cooperative approach.

So really, they only wanted 6 for Forest
 
…predicting America/Arab states are directly or indirectly sponsoring war with various countires. Oh wait…
And yet the premier league approved ownership of Newcastle with hindsight of the Saudi regime executing and dismembering a journalist in one of their embassies.

Let's not kid ourselves that the league are working within any moral framework for the good of the clubs and their fans.

How very convenient. I’m sure he’s the “source” for this information too and it can’t possibly be checked, seeing as nobody had ever heard of him 6 months ago.
