We broke the rules.
We should accept whatever punishment comes our way.
But, if we appoint the right legal team, it shouldnt be the punishment we deserve.
It might be against the rules to not pay your mortgage/council tax but you should get a fairer trial/treatment if you work with the supplier/regulator to do what is in your power to resolve the issue.
You may say that's completely different given it is a sporting regulation that you need to comply with, but my point is if you agreed with them you would have paid off x by this date then you'll be okay and months later they come back and say actually you should have paid this much more, then that should be reasonable grounds for an extension or renegotiation of terms. If they had of said to us no that won't be acceptable at the time then we could have sold Gordon or another to try and meet their demands.
