6 + 2 Point Deductions

[blue to the bone]

Koff yourself with your puerile attempt at sarcasm. You're dead clever, eh, with your open secret...

What open secret you senile ol fart

Forest won't get 10 points for being (from what Ive read which is still not official) £12.5mill over based purely on buying 28 players in a season.

And there’s those out there peddling the “Everton cheated” nonsense where we effectively degraded the squad to build a stadium but managed our finances like drunks at a casino.

Forest bought four teams to try and not just stay up but get into Europe

 

[Tel001]

Of course. But they were allowed. The club wasn't dragged over hot coals for the COVID losses, spending £45mill on the Babysitter, and being awful in the transfer window....

It was pulled up for how the board/owner decided to fund and build a stadium.

That’s was the end point.

Because of our shocking transfer dealings we had to use every single excuse we could to try and claw the losses back.

We simply ran out of avenues and the stadium loans and interest etc was the one we couldn’t talk our way through .

 

[LucBesson]

The thing about Forest's 28 player purchases is that surely every one comes with an agent and sign-on fee? That's not put in public record but surely must be a disaster.

Everton could have avoided the initial breach by selling a player or two (1) and replacing them with the most promising academy products, but decided to blag it out instead and got caught. Then in the following financial year, when they know they need to bring themselves back to the right side of the divide, they could have decided to (3) sell a few players in the last transfer window, but again - ridiculously - decided not to do that.

(1) No doubt selling anyone decent at a price lower than their worth to a Sky6 club.
(2) If promising academy product goes on to make it they will be snapped up by the Sky6 clubs.
(3) See (1).

Everton are basically the guy who buys 20kg of luggage on a Ryan Air flight, then stands arguing the toss at check in because they are getting charged £60 extra because their bag is 25kg. Then does exactly the same on the way home.

Just sell Michael Keane, Youseff Chermiti and Ben Godfrey, put an end to this nonsense.

Who, apart from Everton, would pay good money for them.

 

[DRINGOSTAR]

Well I’m just about bloody sick of it all ! The premier league are absolute idiots ! The rules and punishments are ridiculous ! The board that got us into the mess are stupid idiots ! I just want to support my team without all this rubbish ! Thanks to all those involved for making supporting my team so unenjoyable !

If they’re 12.5m over, what are we?

 

[RD2910]

Possibly, but even that doesn't feel quite right with me considering our losses are mainly due to stadium costs.

Certainly a far more appropriate punishment than 10 points though

The losses can't mainly be down to stadium costs though, it's just a contributor. It's undeniable we spent millions on rubbish and paid them millions.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Apparently that crank Masters is facing a select committee tomorrow let's hope one of the MP's who wrote a letter gets to quiz him.

 

[PITA]

we can’t score mate
and have had a slump which the bottom
ones took advantage off

Playing decent against City and Spurs with two bad decisions against us was part of that slump, FGS. The only bad performance was against Wolves.

Of course but it's a long time since we spent what I would call big in modern terms.

I think the question is would we be compliant without the stadium project ?

I dont think legally he will be able to answer any questions.

But we shall see.

Shane Uncle Uzzy is still not in the frame as if we weren't in such a perilous financial position I would love nothing more than to see the club refuse to fulfil any future fixture until the seasons end.

Whilst it would seal our relegation it would make a mockery of the league and undoubtedly lead to independent regulation which would be a nice parting middle finger to Masters and his kangaroo court.

Independent regulation is coming anyway, I dont see the point in shooting ourselves in the foot to make "a point".

 

[peteblue]

I agree - have we still got some auditors? If they sign off on our capitalising these interest charges then it should be fairly straightforward- that’s if esk is correct and that this is what is tipping us into non-compliance.

can we stop this please…….
