6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Bkk Andy]

Complete bs. They'd never do it to one of their media darling clubs. If we are getting 10 then city should be in conference league yet they'll get a finr and transfer ban at most

They already said the maximum deduction is 12 points, didn't they? If so, no matter how bad the crime, they'll probably still qualify for the champions league with a 12 point deduction.

There's talk of city and Chelsea being relegated

I seriously doubt this

Would that mean we just have to better one team to stay up?

Id see City 10 points.
Chelsea possibly transfer ban as they're historic breaches based on an old regime

On one hand not arsed, we're not going down and this should galvanise everyone at the club. On the other, it stinks, other PL clubs getting away with murder and loads of dodgy dealings. Man City just throwing lawyers at it to avoid punishment but of course we're priority number 1 needing to be harshly dealt asap.

I was just starting to enjoy this season ffs

 

[Martin Alvito]

The decision isn't resting on much legal foundation dave - what are the criteria for it being up to twelve points, or ten points out of those twelve? What advantage did we get from overspending at that time? How does this overspending by less than £20 million compare with - for example - secret payments to the club from an owner, or an owner spending a billion pounds on transfer fees alone for two seasons when they are out of the Champions League?

As I said above the finding is one thing (and should really only be reassessed when City and Chelsea face the same process), but the deduction gives the PL nowhere to go for future cases; everything where PSR has been breached by more than £20 million must now result in a deduction greater than ten points. Every PSR case where the club blocks or obstructs the investigation must now result in a deduction greater than ten points.

If that is where the PL want to be then fine, but they really need to write that down so everyone understands it.

They can just remove the points rule before they take action with respect to City and Chelsea. The effect would be that of a blatant bill of attainder, but even Parliament could still conceivably pass those. They just don't.

The club should sack off the fair play handshake / premier league music at the start of the match. Stop any premier league logos on the advertising boards around the pitch, he’ll even remove the badge from the shirt sleeves.

There should be no stands/lounges/roads/bogs at the new stadium named after anyone involved in the running of our club during this period.

Agree. Just walk on the pitch to our designated end and get ready for the kick-off.

Absolute silence over the Tannoy at every home game 15 minutes before kick-off.

Really difficult to care whether the club is part of this cess pit.

I'd cancel my sky sub if i had one !

 

[Saint Domingo]

The club should be at war with the league from this day forward.

They’ll do anything to stop us playing in Europe….

That we tried to get away with this sort of thing is absolutely laughable. This is just from a scan of the document They had to try I guess but still. Utter nonsense calculating league positions based on this, or saying Richarlison was worth £80m in any world

It talks at the end of the reports how we essentially just carried on in the hope it would all work out.

What a way to run a multi million pound company

And on cue there is the tweet from Jamie calling the pts deduction nonsense. Won’t be holding my breath for any former player to follow suit.

Cottee has.

 

[coollino]

They forgot to deduct out xG, suckers

Yeah because as the commission stated, you can’t put a financial penalty when we have wealthy owners……

Except if you own the scab 6.
