I find it baffling we've had our sources of income sanctioned due to a war they have nothing to do with but the team that beat us today are funded by a vile regime that executes approx 50 people a day.

And across the park they have a sponsor on their shirt with links to terrorist financing….it’s all a blag mate. One rule for one and another for others

Not sure If this has been discussed already but I don’t imagine we can be punished big no longer a PL member. Would work out conveniently for the PL

I think the premier league will probably wait another season before doing anything. By which time we will probably be top of the championship, then they hit us with a 12 point deduction so we finish 10th.

Also the accusations of money laundering for me are odd - the point of money laundering isn’t to see how much of it you can lose through football.

Yeah our owners didn't put money into the wash for it to come out clean, they basically put in the garden and set it on fire.

They would not be able to do that. They could hit us if we got promoted mind

They're a well run club, owned by a state with all its wealth and have utilised it and their connections in such a way to ensure proving guilt is difficult.

We, on the other hand, aren't a well run club, have spent millions on dross and since the money dried up we're clearly at the threshold of exceeding % of turnover.

It's false equivalence.

Money eclipses questioning. FIFA, UEFA, all the governing league bodies are all corrupt. That's not hyperbolic either, they've all been done in some capacity for it.

So when there's mega money floating about they turn a blind eye and enjoy the buzz.

Took a journo to hack into their emails to pull it up. He's still in jail for it I think. UEFA had to do something which then led the PL to look into it.

The government white paper probably made the PL actually do something to prove they can clear in house. We've been thrown in with it.

Although City have been accused of breaking specific rules. Ours is the generic P&S rules which is quite obvious with the losses..

But there is a reason money launderers are attracted to football, I don't know what the reason is but there is one, otherwise there wouldn't be a market for people like Samuelson
