Dr. Feelgood Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 2 minutes ago, Pablo said: 4 points given back. So 6pts deduction, rather than 10pts deduction. But the club either broke the rules, or it didn't. This half-way scenario is neither one thing nor the other. Aren't there another bunch of accusations facing you now ? Will that be concluded this year too or can you foot-drag it all again to kick it into next season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They broke the rules, which is why they've been given the six point deduction Presumably, there were mitigating factors which meant the punishment was reduced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven correct. 2nd charge, don’t know. Don’t really care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Just the loss of income to teams who got relegated instead of them as they dragged the whole thing out to be dealt with then ... plus the second set of charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it was said that they didn't gain any sporting advantage Might just be like when Derby failed to show the accounts of the time they were cooking the books, Wycombe weren't happy as they got relegated as a result They settled on compo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The whole FFP is a farce. Everton punished immediately whilst City and Chelsea get nothing. Everton get a ten point penalty mid season which is then reduced to six makes a mockery of the season. Will Forest get get ten points deducted in March to put them in the relegation zone? The whole thing is like Bruce Forsyth doing play your cards right😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is the same. Shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not invested in this and I’m sure you know the ins and outs much better but the appearance and way it is being handled is piss poor. Likewise VAR.
