6 + 2 Point Deductions

How long will this appeal take?

It will be heard before the end of this season

It's Luton now in 17th mate, so 2 points moves us above them on our superior GD.

Team will be fine. Now we will be sued by Leeds, Burnley etc. That will take years though. Looking forward to the next Burnley game when we break the all time scoring record. Peasants.

Watch Sky not show anything from the crowd against United.

Teams lost huge amounts of money via relegation allegedly because of us. that is the nub of the issue and why City will not be touched.

But we got zero competitive advantage from it as the players were terrible. The only argument they have is that the points should’ve been deducted in the relevant season they went down. This is not our fault.

Proud of what?



It was ridiculous that people without any knowledge of the facts were able to positively assert what should happen.

I had no idea what the outcome would be.

I wouldn't say positively assert more like guessing (applies to everyone). I can say I didn't think we would get a points deduction due to the upcoming charges of Man City. I suppose a precedent has been set and should now be adhered to for all future teams that fall foul.

 

[Victus]

I just don't understand why it feels so incredibly heavy handed? I expected a points deduction but the amount they have taken off just seems genuinely insane to me.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

They’re 3 points off top of the league so of course it would hurt them.

And they'll remain there the rest of the season obviously.

Teams lost huge amounts of money via failure to qualify for champions league etc because city cheated……

 

[Rob17896]

Is 12 points the maximum though? Because we may as well have just went batsh!t in the transfer market like chelsea have instead of selling everyone and spending zilch

We did do that in the transfer market, just on a load of garbage.

 

[blueblue]

My opinion, for what it is worth , is that our appeal may see the points deducted halved, we accept the revised punishment and move on.
I don't think there is a monetary fine or transfer bid attached to the sanction.

 

[Bluerover]

Those with influence over the media need to be going on about this right now

Why would the rs be bothered helping EFC?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Watch Sky not show anything from the crowd against United.

They’ll have their orders to protect the product at all costs.

We’re not an establishment club any more, easy target, they’ll all be hoping it just blows over by tomorrow after they’ve got a few good stories out for kopite clicks.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Hoping someone can help me out on some basic logic here...

Reading that Leeds, Leicester and Southampton want to sue us for £100m apiece - how does that work? Only one of them could have stayed up if we went down, so surely it's only Leicester who have a claim? When West Ham stayed up in the Tevez affair, it was only Sheff Utd who were able to sue them

 

[Kev The Rat]

Unfortunately that is clearly not the way it is being perceived by those in charge. Stitched up or not, that is the narrative in play and us playing the victim won't change that.
