6 + 2 Point Deductions

Head like a massive wheel of cheese

wasn't that a song my Motorhead?

Why should a team coming up not have far higher aspirations than finishing 17th?

I didn't say that. I said if a team comes up with the ambition of staying up then they only need to finish above 3 other teams.

That doesn't require them to compete financially with CL ambition clubs in their immediate future so the point around £105M players was not necessarily entirely relevant to those particular clubs.

Very few clubs come into the PL and state ambitions of an immediate European placing.

We’ve been trying to get the board out for years you thick gobshite.

I could have sworn loads of posters on here were delighted with the board when Moshiri was spending 100's of millions of pounds on players. Far too many people ignored the warnings about Moshiri and his dodgy money.

 

[TGW89]

The denial from you is breathtaking. Moshiri has come out and admitted that we had to carry on spending because the midfield was crap. As for Forest the reaction from their fans is totally different. They have in essence put their hands up and know the club broke the rules.

Can someone just permaban this utter nonce please?

Rick Parry on the panel of two in front of the select committee - a boyhood Red & ex chairman ... urm

He is the Chairman of the EFL and was there to get grilled by the select committee.

John Cross is a disgrace, in the pocket of the PL and the sly six, smarmy, condescending gutter rat, obviously from the Daily Mirror.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Well, no, not every team can win every match. We have seen newly promoted teams go on to win the league, then European cup etc. Everton went from being mid-table to best team in the country over a sustained period in the 80's. Doesn't happen anymore.

In short, the last paragraph you wrote doesn't hold up.

Of course it doesn't hold up. It's a summation of the logic behind your sarcastic 'best league in der world eh' statement.

My point is just that would it truly be a bad thing if a newly promoted club, with a financial backer, or vast resources, decided they wanted to aim right for the top as quickly as possible?

Why should there be rules in place to stop that? Surely if the league is serious about competition, it should welcome that sort of ambition.

Do one kopite, no one is interested in anything you have to say, go and gloat elsewhere.

 

[trueblue84]

Sat next to the main guy in the select committee - I thought the name rang a bell -

View attachment 242172
He would become Liverpool's chief executive for 12 years, presiding over that night in Istanbul and only vacating the role once relationships with divisive American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett soured beyond repair.

So it is hardly surprising that Liverpool boyhood supporter Parry has aligned in the brainstorming of Project Big Picture. Manchester United, the other club driving the wide scale changes to football's pyramid, are an institution he has always respected if not liked.

Can this be impartial ? being involved in our points deduction ?

He wasn't involved in our points deduction. He is chief of the EFL. To be fair to him, nobody can argue with what he said today (except for masters).

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's just saying exactly what the league and big 6 want to hear.

He sat there & let that other guy talk wham ?

 

[arch stanton]

Why do ye reply to him ?
Ignore and he disappears.

but if he is on ignore, how can I give him the middle digit??

 

[Joey66]

He is the Chairman of the EFL and was there to get grilled by the select committee.

They both talked a load of tosh - they should never have been allowed to use the word small club for staters - a ruddy insult also no new ground mentioned .... No one in the prem from over the park should be dealing with us - you have to be impartial .. a boyhood ex chairman is not impartial IMO ....

 

[Pabbers]

He`s a bag man for Putin, though, same as Abramovich = money laundering.

Nah, that’s what the James Bond films say, mate.

Both are just a business man that are friends with politicians. Like all the billionaires.

Sanctions are to pressure Putin, that’s how it works.
