6 + 2 Point Deductions

[MikeH72]

Honestly don’t want Leicester to get any deductions even if it would be advantageous. It is so boring with the back and forward with the decisions and appeals

Everything is uncertain and those little axterix on the league table are annoying

Yeah, if they got 10 points deducted tomorrow it wouldn’t actually mean they have 10 points deducted, it would be subject to an appeal process that will go on until April. So we wouldn’t be able to bank on them being that many points worse off, we’d just have to treat it as if they were going to get them all back on appeal. Boring is absolutely the correct word. It’s not sport.

If the Premier League was run like the Football League it wouldn't be the case. Very rare that their points deductions are challenged as they have clear rules. The Premier League is run for the benefit of a few clubs at the top however and so they fail to have clear rules and land themselves in hit water constantly.

Fook em, I hope they get points; whatever helps our survival tbh. Plus, if they sort out the farce of their nullified deduction last season, then dump THAT on top of this seasons points too - like the double jeopardy WE received off them.

In principle, I agree with you. In reality, and to ensure some kind of rebalancing of the injustice we suffered, I hope the book is thrown at Leicester.

We got 10 points - later reduced to 8 - when Forest got half that punishment for an even greater transgression, financially. We were hung out to dry, and clubs like Leicester were threatening to sue us.

Let's not be patsies, here. Throw the book at the cheats.

Hope TFG has an extensive legal team for when Leicester ultimately get out of a points deduction on some other flimsy technicality.

Lets hope it doesn’t come to us relying on the PL to save us from the drop. Jeez what’s it come to?!

That's a good question. We will know our fate over the next couple of days.

Extract from the Red Echo, genuinely flabbergasted he has the gall to make a statement like this……

Worried about teams potentially being constrained from spending, and he’s always been pro-investment

Even if we got points deduction it would be small. Year on year trends, diminishing squad and the fact it is other costs that are causing breaches (loans and stadium)

Dont get why anyone would not want leicester or any other club to get treated the same as us. We got done badly last season so why should other teams get away with it, will agree that we cant just leave it to the deduction we must get enough points so it does not come into it. Screw leicester city anyother team didnt give an f about us so dont give one over them

Spot on. As i recall, Leicester were one of those clubs that jumped in and twisted the knife even further wanting to sue us. Definitely screw them and anyone else. None of them cared when it happened to us.

If it helps us survive this season I would be thrilled to see Leicester or anyone else punished with the same severity as we did. It’s only fair

Agreed. We were stupid, badly run, got substantially worse, and did have some genuine mitigations. Forest were very cheeky, knowingly broke the rules by deliberately breaching but selling a player for a higher fee shortly after - 100% rule break but actually did the correct thing for their own profit and sustainability!!

Leicester knowingly breached , submitted late and fell between the jurisdictions of the two leagues. Their limit this year will be lower after a year in the Championship, so will try exactly the same trick again if they go down. And if they do go down will probably get punished for overspending in 23/24 by the EFL.

All clubs guilty, but they’re the most egregious and duplicitous. And I’d think the PL will be far more aggressive in penalising them; they certainly won’t get any brucie bonus cooperation points as they tried to not submit accounts to the PL.

Be nice to be part of the “all clubs stand against the evil PL….boo” gang and take some moral high ground, but no chance. Every club stood by and put the boot in on us. Forest fans suddenly wanting co-ordinated flyer waving and booing only when they were charged. Every man for himself.
