40 million pound is a lot of money, so people better believe it when it says the judgement will be appealed!
I’ve made the argument before that I am glad the PL didn’t deduct the points in 22, as we’d likely have gone down, but we could use the same argument that Burnley have done about this ridiculous ‘loss of opportunity’, which basically argues multiple alternate realities are possible.
We also need to get serious with the PL and stop cosying up to them when all they do is screw us. They were in control of the administration of the penalty, and we are now being punished for their delay in administering the penalty, and subjecting us to two penalties in 2023.
If that judgement is upheld, we ought to be suing the hell out of the Premier League.
