A fine and a one window ban won't harm us.

That's what it should have been all the time.

We’ve been punished enough by the regulations in ways people don’t even recognise.

Never forget how close we were twice to the oblivion of relegation. Many factors contributed to that but it’s impossible to look past being forced to sell James Richarlison Digne Gordon Gueye and replace them with cheap players and loans as a massive reason for this.

The only reason this occurred is because we were trying to comply with the regulations. Whilst the top 6 could just spend to an unlimited budget we sacrificed any opportunity at sporting success in order to comply.

We’ve been punished more than enough already by the regulations which in effect have cost us Ancelotti as a manager, all those players listed above, and put stringent limits on FIVE transfer windows already which will probably end up being 7 by the time we’re back in compliance. A paltry fine is about all I would begrudgingly accept as ‘fair’, any points deduction at all is an utter disgrace and there’d be absolutely no logical basis for a transfer ban either. Clubs should be punished for P&S violations by being limited in what they can spend in future windows and we’ve done that for three consecutive seasons now.

We’ve absolutely decimated the club trying to comply with a set of guidelines that serve no purpose whatsoever and still it’s not enough for them and they want to punish us further.

Honestly what even is the crime? A sporting advantage? The entire league is set up for the benefit of 6 teams who have every advantage possible to them yet despite us spending huge amounts less than all of them we somehow tried to gain a sporting advantage?

This ruling if upheld is the death knell for the premier league, the mist has been removed and finally people can see what I’ve always known: the PL see the other 14 clubs as cannon fodder to just sit there quietly and take their beatings predictably, if one gets out of line they’ll absolutely decimate them, they can’t afford their golden carriage to be rocked one bit.

I’d rather Donald Trump represented the club at that hearing over that glorified bricklayer

yea coz he wouldn't talk out of his arse at all
His representation would be full of measured and well thought out verifiable facts

Let's have it right too.
A ten point penalty costs us money too. It's a double penalty.

Great post mate.

We could easily end up losing about 6 league places because of it, that will be 12 mill. That’s pretty close to what the scab six had to pay as a combined fine. That’s in addition to the most penal points deduction in PL history, and comes on top of 3 seasons of selling our best players and two relegation battles.

We need to learn our lesson though about a 19 mill overspend.

Way more than that.

It's irreparable damage , it effects everything to do with the club.

 

[Wat Tyler]

The nerve of that West Ham director who was saying “can’t punish the fans” when Tevez literally scored the goal that kept them up now being a part of a three man panel taking ten points off us for a minor breach

Think you missed the irony in my post and sarcasm at how little I feel in confidence in Chong mate

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I think the funniest thing that's came out about all this is the club forecasting us to finish 6th under Benitez. Nothing sums up that regime quite like that does.

 

[jazzy]

I wonder who chooses the independent panel to hear our appeal? Maybe the PL can make it a bit more obvious this time, the Leeds and Burnley ceos for starters.

That's unfair but I believe that Peter Lorimer and Ralph Coates are available.

fair enough lol
apologies! Any praise for Trump, even potential praise, is like a red rag to a bull for me

I logged in especially just to like this post. Well said, spot on.

They've even made Al all dark and edgy.
