6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Bebeto]

The sanction has been applied immediately so assume until an appeal were to intervene that's the points situation that applies. If the appeal isn't heard before the end of the season then I assume the -10 would continue to apply. It will be heard before the end of the season though.

Not so sure...premier league will drag this on, the same way perhaps we have been. Now it is their turn to defend and us to attack.

Good vibes around 5 wins in 7 games.....

We can never have anything nice can we?

They deffo did this in the international break as well so there could be no responses in the pressers or at games on the weekend. They probably hope it will just go away if we win a few games and everyone forgets. The club needs to tie the PL up in appeals processes for as long as it can and then start going for why the scab six weren’t punished and where are City and Chelsea’s case up to.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Surely the issue and reason for appeal here is the independent investigation findings state we broke rules however, clearly not for sporting advantage thus undermines any point deductions against the club. Surely it's got to be monetary punishment.

Bring in the regulator

If the PLs plan was to show they don’t need a regulator then it has clearly backfired spectacularly looking at that.

 

[HowardsWay]

There is a lot of merit in that argument ( unfortunately)

Indeed. And look at this argument. We made a loss of over 105 million and some of our fans think that is acceptable. Think about that... a loss of 105 million is seen as acceptable.

So if we had the money would we be ok to do like forest did last season and throw £200m on players in january now?

 

[ForestBlue]

One win and we’re out the bottom 3.

It could even be as low as 1 point if other results go our way.

I feel sorry for the Premier League ball plinth. That wee thing will be defiled by some heroic but emotionally vulnerable ket wig on Sunday.

The PL and PGMOL just want us out the league, have done for ages, this is their latest incarnation.

Matt Hughes salivating over legal action.

 

[Bebeto]

The fans need to be booing the Premier League anthem to smithereens at every home game. Doesn't count for anything and won't change anything, but at least set the tone for a nasty atmosphere for opposition teams.

And big banners on the ground attacking the impartiality of the league. We're on tv next time around so perfect to make a huge statement

@hallamblue















125mil minus the allowable margin of 105 mill equates to a 20 mil overspend.

Which is what I said in the first place.

Not quite the gotcha moment you thought it was eh

I wasn't saying we'd spent that much more than the allowed losses, only that we'd spent £125 million more than we earned, which is the quick way to bankruptcy.

How can the premier League argue that they are protecting the profiability and sustainability of a club and then do their best to relegate them, which has more of a direct impact to the profitability and sustainability of a club?
