Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

[hoppy]

One rule for the top sides another rule for the rest makes the rules a joke

We need to come out and ask questions on this.

Still grates on me how we were so weak with our statements last time, we even thanked the PL in one.

Because it was unprecedented and we were the guinea pigs. No doubt had we came out guns blazing we'd have lost the appeal and they would've found a way to take more points. While spineless I don't think we had a strong plan to copy

Forest got a slap on the wrist due to seeing the flaws in our case, and the PL changing the goal posts on a "case by case" basis.

Low and behold, no clubs have been caught out since.

I agree that we should.

I wonder if this is still keenly felt amongst the club hierarchy, though.

They might just shrug their shoulders as it was before their time.

If Chelsea had a significant point deduction this season (or Man City) we would be a shoe in for a European place…

A 10 million fine for Chelsea is like fining them like change in their back pocket!
A points deducted was the order of the day it makes a mockery of PSI for the clubs like us who got points deducted

And we probably wouldn't have been but for Leeds Leicester and Burnley threatening litigation.. I do believe the PL was happy plodding along ignoring the issues, But once that can of worms was opened it should not be closed again which it appears it has been.

So they stayed under the PSR threshold becuase they didnt register payments for Eden Hazard, Samuel Eto'o, Willian, Ramires, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic. Making £47m in secret payments to unregistered agents and third-parties over transfers between 2011 and 2018.

They won the CL and we got a points deduction for breaching the threshold for a few million and couldn't write off Sigurrdson.

The article states that they would have been under the PSR threshold whether they registered the payments or not.

The article states that they would have been under the PSR threshold whether they registered the payments or not.

But benifit kind, they attained a sporting advantage through the benifit or illegal activity which generated revenue - without which calls their compliance into question. Do they win half the trophies and as such financial benifit to comply with PSR without the players is question…even just Hazard.

 

[Neiler]

Whitewash.

Utter rubbish that statement

 

[Tramps_mate]

No way we and Forrest should allow them to get away with this.. wow!!

 

[Pazza]

Wrong shade of blue! Suspended sentance is just bonkers!

 

[JohnRoss23]

Not at all surprised. Those clubs can operate on different terms compared to the rest of the league without any real concerns of any sort of disciplinary action. And this proves it to the rest of the league. But of course nothing is ever going to change. Corruption all around.
