6 + 2 Point Deductions

Appeals cost money

Reckon we traded our appeal for the PL manager of the month award.

Seems fair tbh.

How are they cooperating by publicly slating the league and discrediting the process immediately after the punishment? I’ve yet to hear an actual explanation as to why the 2 points weren’t added back on after the fact, for all @JimmyK chat about how simple it is to understand he’s really doing a poor job of making it make sense.

There are two time periods to consider here. The time period before the ruling, and the time period after the ruling.

The two points credited backed to Forest was for the time period before the ruling. This was based on them being cooperative leading up to the ruling.

Once the ruling was made, Forest kicked off because they were unhappy with the outcome. They have a right to be unhappy with the ruling, we certainly were with ours. This does not make them uncooperative, this makes them unhappy. They have a right to appeal, as do/did we.

You can cooperate, and also be unhappy with the outcome. The two are not mutually exclusive, both can be true.

I think this is how most people see it.

I'm glad the appeal has been withdrawn. I was worried that we'd end up with more, not less.

I'd say that there was some kind of agreement behind the scenes, there was no way it would be heard and verdict delivered before the last ball had been kicked, PL wanted to avoid that mess and the negative publicity that would come with it. I'd imagine we won't hear anymore about the 6.5M interest payment that was put on the long finger by the commission.

Someone’s not going to be getting their £5000 / per hour (no - not dele)

Unless this appeal board could give a decision which would set a preferential precedent for us then there was no point really.

If we beat Sheff Utd it will be difficult for Brentford to catch us and we have no real chance of catching Palace.

 

[f.t.r.s]

You say that as if they’re just gonna approve 777 now.

Nope, more a case of allowing the fear of what might happen if they don't to grow...
Classic bully tactics, do as you're told or things will get worse

Common sense from the club at last. Was always a risk the appeals commission could add points so should have pulled the plug as soon as we were mathematically safe

no point fighting corruption?

“oh they might add more for trying to fight”

behave

Reckon we’re savings our lawyers time so they can concentrate on putting us into administration tbh

Well looks like upset one fanbase

Look at the way he's added Kenwright in with those legends. That's how the majority of outsiders think of Kenwright, like he was a club legend and wasn't part of sticking us where we currently are today.

I hadn't realised Billy Kenny was held in such high regard by other fans.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Doesn’t sit right but probably the right decision.

Now we’re safe, if the appeal would cost more in fees than the prize money for finishing above Palace (and even then, we’d have to win both our games and hope they don’t win) then there’s no point in wasting our time and money.

Hahaha why do other clubs fans care what we do on a day to day basis, then claim we are a boring nothing club. Just mind what your own club is doing.
