6 + 2 Point Deductions

And there’s the reward for only showing what the league tells them to:

I was hoping we would get more of Amazon or something similar, instead we end up with more of Fox News style coverage of football + Carra and Nev

 

[Davideeyore]

Not 100% on that. The rules say we can’t go to court but as far I know you can’t completely contract out of the laws of the land - putting “you can’t sue us” in a contract doesn’t necessarily make it so. If there is something procedural- and abuse of process is an issue here- it could still end up in court.

Effectively the PL’s in house media channel Sky sports along with client journos in every media channel.

The corruption is deep seated and will take government anti-competition laws to break up or change this cartel.

Watching the Braun documentary where the teams all rebel has similarities to all this however there’s six teams in the prem who are motivated only by their own greed that makes it less likely that there will be anything other than this getting worse

These aren’t going to reduce this are they?

Yes.

 

[Bebeto]

I strongly suspect you are right. The PL won't want to lose face after all of this. It's a sorry situation.

No significant reduction of points on our punishment pretty much equals to both Chelsea and City relegated...so for that reason alone, I strongly suspect that we will get a significantly reduced punishment as all the other cases will use ours as baseline.

I’m not sure if I want it reducing, unless it ultimately costs us, which I don’t believe it will.

I think when they reduce it, it will be with the knowledge they will have more wiggle room with City, Chelsea etc.

I have a feeling the whole lot will get punted on a technically.. possibly the stadium rules being changed mid process...

So sky prices to go up by at least 4% in the not too distant future...disappointing deal that as I am sure they were expecting better. For us it underlines the necessity to continue be a premier league club for the foreseeable.

The rules being changed should kind of be the silver bullet but you never know with these priccs

Interesting that Amazon have pulled out.

I know a few people thought they might try and muscle in.

The tone of this thread basically changes depending on how we’re doing on the pitch. If we have a good win then things are going too well and “omg they’re never reducing it are they lad 10 points it is “ and if we have a poor result it seems to shift to “think we’ll deffo get at least 5 points back lad they’re all over the place, league’s falling apart lad”. Which way is the wind going to blow after Thursday?

I said it a couple of times that they just can't leave it as 10 points as it's more than going into administration as It is just unfathomable.

 

[If You Know Your History]

Given the passion and drive and desire that our players have shown in recent weeks (we are one of THE in form teams) I think we can overcome this unjust and disproportionate punishment.

We just need to improve our home record. We as fans need to be the 12th man that we were in Frank's first season.
