6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Goat]

Nowhere in that piece does it say they are suing us? The financial compensation would come from the Premier League as the points deduction was handed out by them.

A points deduction for us wouldn’t have kept Southampton and Leeds up anyway so I’m not sure what their case is.

No Mike.

They will sue us.

[Nymzee]

So what? Try publishing it or broadcasting it.

???? Don't think you're grasping at all what Mac is getting at

1000000000000000 point deduction.

Right, but whether they were restricted to or not, that's clearly the standard they are committing to using. So is the appeals body going to be willing to undo that standard?

I mean, they're now giving concrete info on the punishment for this sort of breach. As long as they subsequently continue to use that same standard for other clubs, it's going to be hard for us to argue against. Of course, whether they are consistent in applying the standard remains to be seen.

You'd think that would be Everton's basis of the appeal.

Or even not bought schneiderlin, or not had bolasie do his acl, or jpg rupture his quad, or have townsend do his acl, and and and...

I say, shove your england international, it's a big no thanks from the blues of Everton.

And tell them to to do one if they want to use BMD for the euros. FA, PL, they’re all the same to me, corrupt football establishment.

I actually agree with the finding there. Players are suspended all the time, players lose value. It's normal risk. There's also the argument that a single player of his ability would really change our financial performance? Seems unlikely to the extended it needed to be.

We admitted guilt and many of the mitigations were frankly dubious.

It's not the suspension that matters - it's the fact we didn't go after the player for breach of contract on welfare grounds. IF we had every right to (note IF), and that would improve our losses by £10m, then it sounds like a perfectly reasonable circumstance to put forward for consideration.

It's not the losing value that we would have a case on (as you say, that happens all the time, for many reasons), but the fact we decided not to sue the player when Everton make it sound like we could have.

Ok you haven’t explained how or why, but ok.

I would assume that these clubs have sought legal advice, which is likely to have indicated they have a case.

How do they have a case?

 

[Nymzee]

Sue us all you want you beauts you're still in the Champo

 

[Wat Tyler]

Basically as it stands we are going to have to attain ten points more than 3 clubs, these 7 points from last 3 games have made a world of difference

 

[GP_Monty]

It's only just occurred to me that we haven't had any sort of transfer embargo, or have we and I've just missed it?

I wish we had
