Financial Fair Play investigation

[Moderatelywarmwater]

Yes, but I can't see any 3 point penalty.

If we get a deduction then it'll be at least 8-10 points.

Just can’t see that, it would be a bigger penalty than going into administration which is surely a bigger financial benefit.
I know you think a points deduction is unlikely for the same reason, but I think 3/4 points is more likely than a transfer ban.
A fine seems more likely to me, but I worry more about other clubs legal action.
let’s hope we get off.

This is my speculation, not fact :
From what the club hinted at it sounds as though they did not realise that the interest charges on building construction loans cannot be set against tax, until the building is in ordinary use. Consequently, the club may have found itself with an unexpected bill of £20m(?) they expected to be able to set against tax. And that extra amount meant the total went over the limit.
Sounds unlikely, I know but it fits what was said.
(Moshiri's loans were interest-free so the situation was a new one.)

Strange quoting there.

I think so too, tbh.

However, if it comes to it, I'd rather take a one window transfer embargo than points off us we don't have to give.

Just appeal it like City did then if it ever comes around again,like theirs we may have plenty of points

There's time and a place for a bit of craic but now isn't the time on that subject. Sort it out lad

 

[PITA]

If a points deduction is given to counter the perceived advantage the extra spending on players gave us, perhaps we'd be in line for a points addition, when taking into consideration what we actually spent the money on

I like your twisted logic
