The rumours that it could be up to 12 points mean that it will most likely end up being six points deducted maximum.

So three extracts from articles in the press prove that the threshold has been surpassed? And dismiss it as much as you like the onus is on the PL to prove a charge beyond reasonable doubt and certainly not based on press articles

Don’t get confused because I have never defended the 6 club’s actions nor have I suggested that I can’t see that they acted in even close to honourably and yes there should have been something that the powers that be could have relied on when lodging charges but and this continues to be my point the rules as written as opposed to how people think they should be applied weren’t fit for purpose and only after the horse has bolted as it were do the rules now cover such eventualities

Why are you here?
 

They probably don't know what to punish us with because they know they'll have to give greater punishments to City & Chelsea but they really want to punish us because it's us

Experts crawling out of the woodwork.

A feller two rows back from him at 'The Bridge' heard this and that.

FFS, the absurdity of it.

But that’s not what I said

Here is what I said


“One of the men who sits two rows behind me at SB works for a National Daily and although he didn’t have any inside information he did make mention of questions being asked re the contract with the advance naming right’s deal with USM.

To be fair it wasn’t around the fair market value question his interest was he couldn’t establish if the cancellation of this contract by Everton would mean that either that sum would have to be expunged by way of a later years accounting adjustment and how and even if that would impact on PL submissions.

PL clubs charged in accordance with the PL rules don’t have access to CAS.

I realise these are very emotive and worrying times but it has always been the case that the greater the income a club generates the more they spend . As for suing Man City what would be your grounds to take such any action against them?
It would appear any dispute would be routed through the Arbitration process but at this point in time what would be the basis of a request to take a matter down this route?

It’s rare that transfers fees reported in the press accurately reflect the sums paid. But even when they do there are so many ways of minimising accounting impact be it from granting long contracts to extending an initial shorter contract, from shifting any Amortisation charge ( for FFP & P& S purposes) to a loaning club.

I think a case could be made to the application of the profit and loss assessment which underpins the whole criteria it’s those accounting techniques which are the problem, if every club does not have a standard formula and treatment with regard to related party transactions, amortisation of transfer fees et al then teams are going to manipulate these avenues.

What is the reason for CAS not having jurisdiction? Is the investigation albeit over In L rule an independent one ?
 
Haven't in all honesty got any clue what the real charges are except we've overspent.
Hence I don't comment on this thread.
However from a human perspective I'd hope the panel have looked through the years of our signings for big money and seen Gbamin,Tousun,Maupay,Schneiderlin,Klassen,Gomes and others on the list and thought...."Poor buggers, theyve been punished enough" lol
