6 + 2 Point Deductions

[ForestAreMagic]

What I don’t get with Forest’s situation, is that you are only half way through your second season in the PL. But the P&S rules (which I thought were a PL thing), are for a rolling 3 season window. Are your 20/21 and 21/22 seasons accounts in the EFL treated as if you were in the PL?

We were allowed to lose 2x£13m in the 2 Championship seasons, then £35m in the PL season. So £61m total, versus £105m for constant Prem teams. This effectively forces clubs to make do with mainly Championship players in their first season back.

Sure i read somewhere last week that because Forest had obviously not been in the prem league 3 years for this cycle thing of been allowed to lose 105 mil, that they had a new amount given as something like 69mil

The first time we found out we were 19.5 over was when they issued the judgement saying so. The amount we are over (if any) is part of the hearing not necessarily something that's announced tomorrow.

so they can say tomorrow they will look into it? or we’re guilty and then they will magic up the punishment

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Seemed a bit mad to cull everyone at once including CFO. But these are financial regs. CFO has had a mare here. The fact he went too probably indicates this was coming around again.

But why would the PL collude to have lowly Everton relegated? What’s in it for them?

They get rid of a club who's owner has ties to a sanctioned oligarch but who they can't do anything about because he has a British passport.

 

[degsy]

Easy to say now, but when I first heard of all this rolling 3 yrs nonsense, I though - given the years we've been a total shiz show then they've got plenty to choose from

 

[BlueStevie35]

Saying this with the upmost respect and sincerity but can someone please reach out to Matty’s missus and get her to take all his means to access here away from him before he goes and does something stupid

 

[windymiller]

Is football even sport anymore? Is it a courtroom drama now?

Less Dream Team more Law & Order.

Just another regular news day at Everton. The day everything is reported with good news stories is when I'll know something really is wrong.

But why would the PL collude to have lowly Everton relegated? What’s in it for them?

Because there is the pressure from government to regulate football more effectively, and the government is pushing to introduce an independent regulator, believing (rightly) that they can’t manage themselves. A popular theory, that I’m inclined to agree with, is that Everton are an easy target to clobber with heavy sanctions to show they can regulate themselves effectively. We’re big enough to matter, but not big enough to trouble the top 6 cartel.

If it's anything like last time all they will say is that we have been referred to the Independent Commission. They gave no more detail last time.

How dare you enter our shiny pretty PL with all your loan players. Be gone!!!

Clubs were insane to vote into this nonsense. The top teams it won’t hinder too much will have said “aye”, and the rest just bottled it and meekly agreed.

They could do that in 30 seconds by approving 777 but they can't be arsed.

Crikey. You must be quite a bit over that. You created a brand new squad. I have no issue with that btw

so then it’s this silk feller to try and fight this aswell as the first one
