6 + 2 Point Deductions

[matty1878]

Unfortunately the other 14 clubs and their respective fanbases have been PL bootlickers for that long any hope of restoring the integrity of the competition are long gone.

We all need to follow the rules that are inherently unfair, uncompetitive and designed to keep 6 teams (one of them being our most hated rival) at the top of the pile.

The only small hope is that Man City get hit hard at some stage by the RS infiltrated PL and as a result go all out in court with their army of lawyers and destroy FFP for the uncompetitive system that it is.

so we’re bootlickers

The defence about Johnson was pretty much rejected when we argued something similar about Richarlison.

If they are in a position that they have to argue that then they are in trouble, it might be a mitigation but I don’t think it will help them talk their way out of a breach.

Agreed, the only difference is that they have market information on what it would have cost them to sell earlier (bids from Brentford).

The problem with that however is that they’re essentially admitting to breaking the threshold by choice.

Maybe the Gordon sale saves us

but all the sales ( gordon ) latest

i dont get it why would we need to sell when we’re not buying? and its all gone to moshiri so what’s the prob?

i don’t get half it like ok 3 quarters

 

[Ferguson1878]

I’m hoping we’ve changed, but I doubt it. Spot on about 85, I never ever got why we just took it.

our chairman didn’t want to upset his tory mates

Maybe the Gordon sale saves us

Plus the £25m for Kean.

Ornstein said he had been told we wouldnt breach, who told him? Everton probably.

Its a concern that somebody says it after the accounts have been submitted.

@Connor the Zeigeler fella, is he legit?

@chicoazul's mate, mush

We are running day to day at a huge loss. Our wage bill to turnover ratio has been the worst in the league. Work has been done to address this with more big contracts ending in the summer

The rub with the trailing 3 years is that you’re paying for sins of the past, now.

And then next year….

Having said all that, our expected lack of business this January probably has more to do with the sale than profit and sustainability

 

[Ferguson1878]

We should take back our points by force

Why don't they just change the rules so only Man City, the rs, Arsenal, Spurs, Man United and Chelsea can sign players. Everybody else is just allowed youth team players who they have to sell to one of the 6 if they become any good.

That was not one juicy lump sum for Kean unlike Gordon

Isn't that what happens already?

Shouldn’t matter, the club takes the gain on the sale when it happens, not when paid.

Financial times today after Notts Forest now over their books the premier league...

How many other clubs are running at a loss and our wage bill must have dropped a huge amount in the last 3yrs. Mina, digne, Walcott, gylfi, James, Bernard, richarlison, bolasie. Delph, tosun, Allen, gbamin. Kean, iwobi, gray, Rondon.

Obviously we bought players, but there no way we’ve got close to the wage bill of a couple of years ago, we also had a much bigger squad compared to today
