6 + 2 Point Deductions

[alwaysblue]

Surely if they suspend the points they just get added when we get charged for the second breach.

That would be my thought too. Unless they've agreed that the second charge shouldn't stand - double jeopardy?

 

[Dymak]

This would be an absolute result.

Suspended on what condition; no further breaches?

They certainly aren’t just going to delay the points deduction so that it applies for the following season… again.

That’s just not gona happen!

Did Forest appeal their own charge?

Did Forest appeal their own charge?

They have to wait for the hearing to happen, dont they

 

[perth_blue]

Yeah I really don’t get it, does it mean if we get found guilty on the second breach we get them taken again?

Yes, they have deemed us guilty and the punishment is held over our head, sort of like a good behaviour bond.

 

[Ring master]

This would be an absolute result.

A load of rubbish no doubt, will probably delete his account when its proved wrong

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The longer this goes on the more I believe that there's practically zero chance that the entire 10 points are chalked, despite having a good case for it.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

They have to wait for the hesring to happen, dont they

Ah of course, silly me.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Can’t be 2 points

Why not?

Surely it can be whatever they want because there is no official sanction policy, and it's up to the commission to decide.

More than likely we are appealing the severity of the punishment, not the verdict.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

If we're literally only appealing the severity of the punishment then there's absolutely no way that we're getting all the points back anyway..

 

[MACCA75]

Not really.

It’s highly likely that whatever punishment comes from the 2nd charge will be significantly less than the first (because 2 of the 3 seasons have already been dealt with/punished).

Forest almost certainly have to get at least as big a punishment as whatever we end up for the first charge.

Let’s say we don’t get any points back.

Everton 1st charge: 10pts
Everton 2nd charge: 3pts
Everton running points total: 17

Forest first charge: 10pts
Forest running points total: 15

And that’s a fairly pessimistic outlook (if we don’t get any points back on the first I think it’s unlikely we get ANY points for the 2nd)

So what in that scenario tells you that we definitely don’t get relegated? As well as it being pure conjecture.

 

[Dymak]

I’m all for this ‘double jeopardy’ defence, but I think it’s a very weak one. The reason the assessment period is over three years, is because it’s seen as a reasonable amount of time to get your affairs in order.

You can’t have a club going mental in the transfer market for two years, and then demand that only the third and final year is taken into consideration when adjudicating these rules.

I hope it works that way, but it would be a bit daft if it did imo.

Why do people tweet stuff like that. So pathetic

 

[edge]

Needs to be done and dusted it's sucking the life out of the fans and the club.
Not remotely bothered about anybody else but the other clubs around the bottom are in limbo as well, don't know if they are battling with us and forest or not.

They clearly used the method the PL wanted so they can just reduce it by 2 points
