6 + 2 Point Deductions

[matty1878]

Convince the new commission that we wouldn't have breached if we weren't building a stadium I'd imagine the PL case is in the bin..

i hope so! Plus as theyres been uproar that should help? And if we do the second should be binned?

40 million pre planning approval....... nothing to do with interest nothing to do with midfielders... it was money that had to be spent in order to get planning for the stadium..

It is of little coincidence that our original PSR submission was nearer to £(80m).

When people talk about us admitting guilt, we effectively said, we'll if you apply the rules as you arse stating them, rather than our understanding, then we are in breach. This was why we worked with the PL.
Also Moshiri saying we needed a midfield, surely we only have to prove that the replacements were of lower overall cost and argue that means they're of lower quality and surely any argument of us gaining a sporting advantage are down the swanny.

Not saying we're getting 10 back... but it's true that a fair bit has changed since November. There's been a huge backlash, a political kick in the pills and now Forest joining our rebel alliance.

And if we go down directly because of the deduction/s, and Forest do likewise, I'd love to see both clubs file a joint lawsuit - backed by the cities of Nottingham and Liverpool - and go full Hiroshima on the PL.

They would be in tatters and at the mercy of the Super League.

People need to read the actual information that’s out there on the breach and the views of the commission. We have absolutely zero chance of getting all ten points back. Zero. We have admitted to the breach for starters so we have clearly broken some rules.

What we will be doing is arguing for mitigation to reduce the points penalty. However contrary to what people are saying, we don’t have much room for manoeuvre. Our best bet is is going down the road that the punishment is overly harsh. The precedent used against us was from the EFL and Sheff Wed. They got 12 points reduced to 6 on appeal.

Arguing the stadium costs shouldn’t be included ain’t gonna wash. That only accounted for £2.2 million and we were apparently just over £20 million above allowed. Also the loan we are arguing about in terms of interest payments was from Metro Bank. If you read this loan application (which the commission has) it clearly states “not to be used for the stadium”. So this just won’t work.

Best case is we say it’s too harsh for a first time offence and get it reduced to five. We will then need to be clear of the bottom three at the end of season. The second breach will probably take two further points from us.

Glad you are here to present opinion as fact on the matter

I dont really know the Sheff Wed story.

But is Leicester not a precedent?

Leicester make £3.1m settlement with Football League over FFP claim

Leicester City have agreed to pay the Football League £3.1m to settle a long-running claim that club breached financial fair play rules

www.theguardian.com

The statements made clear that: “In reaching the settlement, the EFL acknowledges that the club did not make any deliberate attempt to infringe the rules or to deceive and that the dispute arose out of genuine differences of interpretation of the rules between the parties.”

Wednesday put transfer sales and the sale of the ground on a year they shouldn't have to make the year look better.

Don’t get upset fella.

Heard a lot of pundits , ex players taking about the clubs voted for this including Sam matterface on talkSPORT yesterday. I’m sure if the 10 point penalty was part of the voting, it would have never got through, even 5 points. Most likely the clubs would have voted for a fine, transfer ban, 2nd offence maybe 5 points

Yes, exactly. And they voted for it ten years ago. Did they vote to not have the number increase at all despite inflation?
