6 + 2 Point Deductions

[matty1878]

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

so we can then get more deductions coz
we’re skint?

no club can make profit? like weekly etc

so woudnt all clubs be the same?

and why can’t owners just chose?

The ESK tweeted -

Some speculation that we will have breached profitability & sustainability rules for the period to June 2023. This is not the case. I am told we are compliant & have not breached the limit given we have re-stated the 2021/22 accounts (capitalising interest payments)

If they’ve broken the rules it shouldn’t matter how much money they’ve got

so we’re bootlickers

Unfortunately yes Matt my good man.

IIRC Everton were only one of the other 14 teams who called for the scab 6 to be punished over the ESL plans, the majority of the rest had no desire to see them punished and there is a good reason why.

If you're the owner of a Brighton, Brentford, Palace, WHU etc and Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea all left to the super league in a huff - your share value would plummet overnight and your investment would be in flames.

Thats essentially why UEFA and PL bend over backwards for the elite clubs - it's all self interest. Now from a business perspective I understand that and tbf if we were in that position we would also be thinking with our wallets.

But speaking as a football fan and not a businessman with money tied up in the game, the whole thing is unfair, uncompetitive, unjust, corrupt and largely scripted to the point that a select few clubs have pretty much free reign to spend what they wish, pay whatever wages they want and get favourable decisions from the officials and VAR.

If we stay in the Prem my opinion on the league won't alter and if we ever drop out of it I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

NOW I'm worried!

I've found the esk to be reasonably accurate in financial predictions.

We sold Richarlison to get the money in the accounts for the 21/22 financial year. Forrest are going to struggle to make a strong argument that someone who was sold in August could have been sold in June but for less money!

The expensive lawyer will dig out a Mayan calendar and convince the panel that August theoretically comes before June. Then in a gripping twist, after successfully winning his case, his potentially extortionately high legal fees will tip Forest back into the mire!!

i get what your saying mate and its all corrupt favoring the bigger clubs etc

but it won’t go on or they will go to a super league etc. i know it’s your opinion mate

but 99.9% want to remain the best league regardless your the 1% lol

To be fair when Villa claim 54 million losses due to Covid and Arsenal claim 105 million losses due to Covid and we then claim 270 million losses due to Covid.

Who is the club manipulating figures?

I feel like I’m arguing with myself here.
