6 + 2 Point Deductions

If Forest didn't see that loophole at the time and didn't use that as a defence during the independent commission is it not just tough luck now at this stage. It would have been up to Forest to bring it to the independent commission at the time

The loophole wasn't available to Forest, they were very much a Premier League club at the equivalent point in time.

Clubs like Everton, Leicester, Forest etc. shouldn’t be punished for attempting to compete/stay in a league that’s rigged against them, they aren’t the problem. The problem is the clubs (we all know who they are) whose systematic cheating has shaped the joke of a “competition” we see today.

Almost worst is that when a club actually gets money - Newcastle - it's so rigged that even they cannot compete and are forced in to selling prime assets
PL ... for the 6, not the 20

Once Newcastle get the league enough exposure and money from abroad their owners will make sure they’re allowed to enter the “elite”

I’ve never been more sure the PL will go after us again on this £6.6 million interest issue. And we’ll bend over and take it

More room to fight it like leicester have shown if followed correct account practice the league have no chance

The PL and the RS would love to see us relegated and love to see us turn on our own players, but we shall not be moved.

Beyond taking the michael now.

And no one can tell me £70m for a London hotel is fair market value

PL should scrap any pretence at financial fair play and allow clubs to spend what they want. Club goes bang because they cannot service debt, then so be it

Before everyone has a fit, boring accountancy talk but selling shares does not affect the profit or loss of a company so this wouldn’t help with PSR.

Maybe Todd just wants some money for himself out of the club. He’d still be the decision maker if he’s in ultimate control of Clearlake. I don’t know much about Clearlake Capital admittedly though.

Can you imagine the dirty oil clubs if they had no limitations. No other club would ever get a look in.

They already do let clubs spend what they like, but only if they are in the top five....And Chelsea.

I can see it a mile off we are the easiest target going

Does it matter? We're not getting a look in any time soon ... and when we stumble upon a diamond, we don't get to keep it in any case.
