Man I hate football.

Looking at what some of our players offer then we need some of these points back. Total lack of quality.

Better players in National League

People thinking we will avoid relegation even without it getting reduced were dreaming. This has absolutely killed our chances at safety. The odd win picked up by the two teams ahead of us will see us down. Like the past 7 games didn’t even happen

Really nasty December. Im a really positive person but with 10 points deducted, I think were down.

Just an air of inevitability. These aint ace by a long ways.

Nonsense.

It's because of who we are playing. United are one of a few teams in the league that wwre going to be able to cope in the atmosphere.

Going to need our new head of legal to be player of the year, and players player. And potentially fill in when Doucs and Young suspended too.

4 points from 7 home games normally means relegation

It came from this article and this specific part.

According to evidence supplied by its chief executive Richard Masters, the league proposed “a fixed starting point of a deduction of six points, with an increase from that starting point of one point for every £5million by which the club had exceeded the PSR threshold of £105m. Further adjustments could be made to reflect aggravating or mitigating features”.

The commission said it rejected this framework.

“The commission is concerned that the adoption by it of a structured formula such as is advocated by the Premier League would be inconsistent with the unrestricted powers conferred by rules w50 and 51,” its report said.

“We consider that it is not for a commission to introduce such a structured formula even on a case-by-case basis. We consider that we are required by the rules to hear and consider the mitigation, after which we have a wide discretion to impose any of the sanctions listed in rule w51.

“If the Premier League wishes to impose a mandatory structured formula on a commission dealing with PSR breaches, it can do so. In that event, the commission would be required to comply with those rules. But as things stand at present that has not been done: the commission has the wide discretion conferred by rules w50 and w51.”

In other words, the commissioners would be disregarding the league’s suggestion and applying their own discretion.

Perhaps my reading of this part is incorrect, yet my interpretation is that until a specific framework is applied, the commission are free to enforce a punishment.

So, there is no framework or agreed precedent, so another breach could have a somewhat different outcome based on the commission's whims (perspective).

Hopefully this puts to bed the ‘best season to get a 10 point deduction’ shouts.

We’ve been hammered here by a very, very poor Man Utd.

Need to fight the points deduction else we are down.
