You don't see the fact that Everton were allowed to write off over £200m of debt compared to Forest's 20M in the same period as Everton having a sporting advantage??
Plus the fact that Everton were warned then subsequently still found to be outside permissable debts despite spending big on players like Beto.
Forest's charge is their first charge and should therefore be treated the same as Everton's , with a warning not to do it again.
No, if you’re going to come on a another forum at least have the correct knowledge.
For one our charge didn’t relate to any Covid losses or 200 mill in debt, it was a disputed £19.5 mill in interest payments on a loan we took out for our new ground, we claimed as infrastructure but the PL didn’t accept it. There is a whole two reports on it and the proceedings.
When was our warning, like everyone else, we submit our accounts, as per the dates, we have no previous charge, before our first.
Beto was signed last summer so he goes into 23/24 accounts, we haven’t been charged for that year.
So in summary if Everton got charged and got a 10 point deduction for being 19.5 mill over the threshold, for a disagreement over an interest payment on building a new infrastructure project. Keeping in mind the commission said the mistake was not intended to mislead and made in good faith. Then Forest will get mullard for the following reasons,
1. They intentionally broke the rule, consciously and purposefully,
2. They played Brennan Johnson, in games at the start of the season - so an actual sporting advantage,
3. Unless Forest get mullard whats to stop every club doing the same thing in the summer,
4. Forest are now at a financial and sporting advantage compared to every club in the league by purposely breaking the rule. They got an extra 20 odd mill for BJ by breaking the rules, deludedly Forest may see that as a valid defense - but what about clubs who had to comply with the rule and sell players at a lesser cost, or clubs who had to comply with the rules. Forest can reinvest that extra 20 mill gained on players and wages now - creating a sporting advantage by purposely cheating.
It’s not looking good for Forest at all. Forest fans are living in dreamland.
I wouldn’t even rule out a second charge, same as us on double jeopardy.
