6 + 2 Point Deductions


The problem we have when it comes to changing the rules is that yes, it would be deeply unfair to punish us and a couple of others so severely and then change the rules but we DO need them to change otherwise, with the underlying numbers in our business, we could be trapped in annual breach for years to come.

Even if we sneak under this season with some player sales, next season is a big problem because a) 21/22 will drop off and it was only a 10m PSR loss, so very hard to match or better and b) we'll have sold assets just to avoid breach this season and there will be few assets left. The stadium may help over time but our numbers are so bad it's not a magic wand.

So even though it will be tempting to be obstinate and vote against rule changes so that others are punished the way we have been, I fear we have no choice but to go along with it because under these rules there's no end in sight.

No it won’t?
 

Those are the three seasons that count THIS season. I was talking about 21/22 dropping off next season.
