6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Fralahna]

Posted Sunday lunch.
It was supposed to be the Friday before but got put back 24 hours.

Think Tony Campari said it would be announced on a Monday by 2pm

It's the other way around. We got 2 uphold and 7 rejected.

To be honest the more I read of the two verdicts the more I think 4 points back is at the upper end of what he could’ve achieved. A lot of our mitigations offered were pretty tenuous and when you’ve got Moshiri at the original hearing saying he basically ripped the arse out of the rules because “we needed a midfield” there is only so much you can do with that.

I disagree with the rules and the process the PL have set, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore them, Moshiri dared them to do something about it and they did.

Will Silky Sack be representing us on the 2nd charge?

Still can't work out if you're wumming or not...

Just had a look at the Forest forum. Amongst all the one eyed ness (as you get on here) I note hearing is early March and then any appeal would be heard and concluded by middle of April.

Anyone know if the second charge is along the same timeline?

Ours is a month later.

Forest had a lot lower acceptable losses because they are part under the EFL and part under the PL for their 3 year period.

Their limit was a breach over 65 million whereas ours is over 105.

They will argue that they were only over the limit for 2 months whilst they waited on the sale of Brennan Johnson and they will argue that this was forced by the date for Transfer Deadline day, otherwise they would have had to sell Johnson for 35m instead of 47.

Don’t know if that would or should hold water, but it’s a different set of circumstances.

Just annoys me they were so brazen about delaying selling Johnson when they knew getting him out before 1st July 2023 would've seen them meet FFP for that year. Apparently that's going to be their main defence which sounds ludicrous

Whereas this club knew it had to get Richarlison out before 1st July 2022, did it and then that just get dismissed as "irrelevant" even though it's a good example of co-operating with premier league, I find that very bizarre.

Ours is a month later.

Just spam the appeal process then. Doubt the premier league will have the nerve to deduct any points if it seriously impacts relegation race in May 2024 in any case.

Is this second charge something to do with the timing of the ellis simms sale? Hadnt we agreed a fee with someone but he changed his mind and went to Coventry a week or so later so we didnt have the sale on the accounts in time?

Would think so make more sense to keep him than bring in another,

The mitigations were weak to absurd.

The points were given back due to poor process which is what most of us have been saying.

That email he sent to that Blue sounded like it was job done for him.

 

[PITA]

I guess the key thing now, is what does this mean for the second charge?

If its us getting another 6 along with forest its a straight two shoot out unless Luton collapse

Why? If we get another 6 point deduction we would currently be just 1 point behind Luton.

 

[Lee Smith]

Luton fans are livid. Get a load of this dullard:

Well when you come from such an alluring town as Luton, with a football team that possesses such a rich footballing pedigree as them, I suppose this sort of Tweet is only fair.

I just wished we had even half of the glitz and glamour as they do.

The appeal is different to the result.The outcome for both clubs will not be known till the season is over.Complete MADNESS.

He obviously doesn't know his history.

I hope he is getting severely slaughtered.
