6 + 2 Point Deductions

This is Britain. I'm guessing public school connections or freemasonry. In Britain, either trumps merit every time. Its why the country is run so badly and on its knees.

Has there been any word on the additional potential points deduction that they decided to leave out, because they hadn't been bothered to look at the accounts properly, is that going to be a points deduction thrown at us next season now ?
 

Adapting movie quotes to sport scenarios is a hobby of mine. In the spirit of that

What the hell is Masters doin' givin' a lecture tour when he's losing 60 million fans a quarter ? Guess he's giving lectures on how to lose people. Jesus Christ...if this guy owned a funeral parlor, no one would die! This turkey is totally brain-dead! OK, alright, Christmas is over, and business is business. Keep on buying, dilute the son of a bitch! Ollie, I want every orifice in his body flowing red.

Given our off field predicaments and having £10 million taken off us due to PSR, I believe we are currently in a perpetual circle of points deductions.

Is the £10mill we’ve had taken away from us a mitigating factor if/when we get charged next season?

If not, it's nigh on impossible to get out of it given the scale of our deductions this season. We're under more pressure to sell just to maintain what we’ve achieved this season.

Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth are all 1 league place (~£3million) better off compared to where they should be through zero merit.

The whole thing is so badly thought through (if at all) it’s needed scrapping months ago.

No idea, I'd guess we would make that argument, but the way things went last season I'd imagine they'd disregard it as mitigation.
 
Even though there is not a specific rule about points deductions in the PL rule book the Everton and Forest cases have produced clear precedents for future breaches by any club in the league.
The tariff appears to be 3 points for a breach and then extra points for scale of breach(up to maximum of 8 points) plus the precedent of disallowing “double jeopardy” has now been created as well…this is all before mitigations.
If it came down to keeping as many of our best players as possible versus a 3 point deduction I would keep the players for as long as possible to try and ensure best possible transfer outcomes.

Unless we have to sell to keep the lights on!

Yeah I’d imagine it would get waived away, but because we know we’re missing out on this money I wonder if we be able to get advice/confirmation as to whether it would go down as mitigation or not?
