6 + 2 Point Deductions

[MikeH72]

They'll still appeal

And they'll still it lowered

Because the game is broken

But that’s not using any logic other than just your own feelings.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

A real curveball this.

I'm thinking that this bodes well for our second charge as we can't be looking at anything above 4 points now.

But then this is the PL and they are the Kings of making stuff up as they go along.

Makes no difference how much their loss was. It is recorded in a written report that 6 points is deemed to be the minimum deduction for a PSR breach. It cannot be lower than that, only higher. We are on the receiving end of a campaign of abuse and corruption from the league we co-founded.

They'll wriggle out of that as it was Forest's first season in the Premier League

 

[Davideeyore]

Forest have a 4 point deduction. Seriously? If this is the case we should cause a riot. Even after our appeal we still have SIX deducted. Ffs. How appalling is that that they get less!

Yup

Pretty certain I'll be correct too

 

[ToffeeTim]

Do not engage with the league or the next hearing

This process is blatantly unfair. Don't engage with something that we have no faith in.

Pretty much this.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Watch us get 3 points, just enough to make a mouth watering relegation battle

There's no logic anyway.

 

[Marius57]

Seen some of the reports saying that the 30m they rejected for Johnson would have seen them comply. So they clearly weren’t as much over as some have suggested.

Less than £30m anyway. So possibly less than we were over.

 

[Azza]

What a shambles the PL is.

 

[Wat Tyler]

 

[Alan Whittle]

True that was some sporting advantage

You loaned him to us you horrors!

 

[mkrudden]

….logic suggests our 6 point deduction is now a benchmark. If the breach is financially bigger than Everton’s, then the point deduction will be proportionately greater than 6. If the breach is financially less than Everton’s, then the point deduction will be proportionately less than 6.

Not sure anybody is aware of how much is involved for Forest, surely it’s less than ours.

The process is looking like an embarrassing shambles that cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Yes and No

The Everton case and the appeal are indeed benchmarks now. The big thing from the appeal was:
6 points should be considered the starting point. Is that a sufficient punishment? Sufficiency is based on 'Aggravating Factors vs Mitigation'
It was found for us that 6 points was sufficient.
For Forest, if the same framework was used, it seems they've been given a 2 point lesser punishment because of mitigation.
I / We would have to read the judgment to see if the framework was used and mitigation succeeded.
The problem is, there is no actual framework within the rule book. Apparently the omission was meant to act as a deterrent (ie so sides couldn't just overspend and factor in the punishment). In reality, it's just created an absolute shambles as you say.
