I can imagine what he is saying is probably getting said on abar 30 other clubs forums to be fair. We would be saying the same if it was any other club tbf.

Even if we do get liquidated mate, we can still come on here and post about fridges and laugh at the wrestling dangers.

lol lol lol lol lol

You'll get no arguments from me on that score. We were run terribly for years and nearly put out of existence because of it. We had two point deductions too - the second one was 15 pts. Starting a season in league 1 on -15 was a great laugh.

And since when did GOT become so toxic? A reasonable post about the real threat being the longer term risks of litigation from Burnley and Leicester doesn't seem to warrant mass abuse. Used to be a fairly reasonable place (by footie forum standards at least, which aren't all that high really) and now a pretty mild post seems to get koppite levels of delusion in response. Sad.

It was a pretty inflammatory post and the responses were pretty restrained imo

No disrespect to you but most Everton fans will have a more informed take on the situation than you. The suggestion that a 10 point penalty is fair is easily dispelled with a small amount of investigation into the actual facts

No it hasn't check the previous seasons league tables !!

What team went down with 40 points in 10 years ?

 

[trueblue84]

As a leeds fan, I think I have 4 takes on this.

1 - The 10 pts mean very little this year. There are 3 terrible teams in the league, you'll stay up with 30 points probably. Can't see the penalty resulting in relegation.

2 - You broke FFP. You did so knowingly and then tried to cover it up with dodgy accounting. The penalty is fair enough - You got caught and lied about it. Suck it up.

3 - Your big problem isnt the 10 pts, its Burnley and Leicester. Leeds, Southampton etc.....have very small claims, which amount to a couple of million for being 'cheated' out of a place in the league, but neither resulted in a substantial impact. Burnley and Leicester however..........You could easily be looking at a couple of hundred million compensation and all the fun and games that come with that.

4 - This is for the 21-22 season. Your still not compliant with FFP today, so need to fix that pronto or you'll be proper hammered. As a result, there is an urgent need to sell players and reduce the wage bill - and forget about strengthening. I think this (and the 3rd point) are your main issues. The 10 pts won't mean a whole lot and is short term - a big compensation bill and a wage bill that is hugely out of kilter with your revenue are longer term problems that could bury you for a good long time.

I bet you lined the street to applaud Jimmy savile's coffin as it went past.

Its all well and good going on your own clubs forum and writing stuff that is ill informed but don’t do it on another clubs and expect to be welcomed with open arms

Hi Jim.
What's it like playing in the championship again?
Do they do good pies at Rotheram?
Would you rate Jonathan Woodgate and Lee bowyer highly.?
Did you ever bash an Asian on a night out .?

1 - Its Ok. We have being in the championship half of my 50 years on the planet, its really not a big deal.
2 - Yes, above average and the stadium is actually really good. Its got a H in it though.
3 - Bowyer yes, Woodgate was a one season wonder.
4 - No. The only football related bad behaviour story I have is when Duncan Ferguson came back to a shared house I was living in and snorted cocaine off the tits of one of the girls in the house. Circa 94. That aside, he was a perfect gent.

you don't need 40 to stay up no more, 20/21 29 points would have kept you up, or 28 with a better goal difference !!

Which is what Mike was saying.

Jim with all due respect, and hopefully trying come across as civil, have you really read the report? Don’t believe what’s written by helmets like Matt Hughes.

They’ve basically done us by not taking into account our main sponsor being sanctioned because of a war (allegedly we should always take things like that into account), one of our players that couldn’t sell for obvious reasons, and for stadium loan interest which was allowed before we started building but suspiciously changed. We’ve worked with the Premier League who have moved the goalposts throughout.

They even don’t specifically say we had any sporting advantage. So a sporting sanction doesn’t fit the alleged breach.

Of Rotherham‘s pies?

Yep. At least bother reading the report, or the key points, if you're going to come onto the forum and give your view. Definitely don't then cry about it when you've made no attempt to educate yourself on the matter and then rightly get called on it.

If pics were an option, I would have jumped at the opportunity - but it would have been embarrassing going down to Boots to get them developed.
