No way. That's rubbish.
Is someone saying that worldwide viewers, who can watch any game they like stopped watching?

Absolutely spot on mate! Why the hell are we getting all Lord of the Flies? We are playing into their hands if we do that. This is classic divide and conquer tactics. Kick of few of the canon-fodder teams in the nuts, then sit back smiling while they tear the flesh from each other. If each club outside of the sly six were capable of acting like grown ups, this would all have been binned at the off and the PL would have been forced to accept a Govt imposed administrator ages ago. We should have started cooperating when the sly six only got a fine. But no, lets rip the pish out of clubs being treated just as badly as we are, that’ll make everything better won’t it!
Yeah, that line of thinking makes no sense to me.
The Premier League generated a huge amount of extra buzz globally that season because of the extraordinary nature of Leicester somehow winning it.
It didn’t harm the Premier League brand. Quite the opposite.
Am I missing a joke here, just out of interest?
Forest claimed they counter-offered but it didn't get any further than that

Agreed and all football clubs are equal but some are more equal than others.

The premier league has been a legal vacuum for financial violations for years. I support that this leads to punishments and they take action in principle. They clearly said punishments would be in the form of points deductions and not financial penalties or transfer bans. We can discuss what is the right measure to take.
You rightly said the big problem with it is the handling. The eternal back and forth and intransparency in the process, of how they came up with the decisions in comparable cases of Forest and us. And they won't treat cases equally, which should be expected in any case. no matter of us or Villa, City or Chelsea etc. coming, that's more than obvious.
I said yesterday that for a fair competition points deductions should be taken in June/July before a season and not mid-season as it is a clear interference into the sportive integrity and disturbing the competition.
Imagine our 2nd appeal would be delayed a bit and we secured another season in PL, but they handled us another -4 to lead us into relegation after game 38, they can fully play with that and this is a shame for any team.

It would have been back tomorrow, seems as the 2nd case starts tomorrow ish….lovely to see it falling off the page until you spoiled it

….i hope the players respond to the latest deduction like they did with the first, I think it’s hard to judge what the reaction will be but it could define our season.

If it is starting tomorrow, and ends in 3 days time. Everton would know a day or so before the Burnley game. while i would expect us to say whatever happens on Monday 8th april after Burnley - all at a guess
We will survive because of what we do or don’t do on the pitch.
Start scoring, start picking up points
