It’s the clown who is running it. He is already halfway out the door and trying to get out of dodge before Uzi sends a hit squad after him. It’s the reason he is even entertaining the likes of 777

It was said that Forest "...received a lesser penalty for admitting guilt and co-operation..."
Wasn't the same or similar statement made when Everton's penalty announced?

Thing is, Nobody is officially running the Club and certainly not anyone with the heft to send KCs into court.
The only people left are the sort...like when you were a kid...who are told; 'Im going next door, if the milkman knocks for his money, give him that envelope on the mantelpiece'

Probably. The league is just trying to save face at this point. It’s better for them to only have one club and fanbase after them than two. Which puts into question their rules to begin with. Why is there no actual law? Why is it a random penalty for us and another random lesser penalty for Forest when they breached significantly further? This is a PR ruling and Moshiri will bend over because he has zero attachment to the club. It’s insane that this is being allowed to begin with.

Exactly. Moshiri isn’t even present. Couldn’t give a flip. Difference is City, Chelsea, etc. would run the league through hoops and force them into a stalemate. We admitted guilt and Moshiri just wants a sale to go through so he can pay back Usmanov. He doesn’t care to fight.

Wow!
To be fair to Buckingham, the Forest report does say that. The incorrect information was still seen as an aggravating factor by the appeal board in our case, it's just unclear whether the appeal board assigned further points deductions for it in the way the Forest report implies.

I don't think it matters now that we know the amount of the breach isn't a factor in deciding the penalty.
D'yer think?

What a farce this whole thing would be shown to be if Chelsea were charged and penalised right now.
A six point penalty wouldn't mean a thing to them.
I'm afraid not...

I love Everton but we have to accept that they (Forest) narrowly over-stepped with mis-planning over Johnson.
Everton ran like this over a longer period, arguably influencing 2 if not 3 relegation battles, and were less transparent.
It's proportionate, we HATE it and the Owner and Board who've let the club slide into this. BK's unaccountable in all practical terms. Mosh is still very accountable and likely offloading Everton to a partner who'll be little better, looking at their record across Europe, but who knows. We'd be their biggest asset by far so we can hope that a multi-club owner would prioritise Everton over those other assets (as revolting a thing that is to consider). Who really knows where we'll be next season - somewhere similar or marginally better in all reality, I hope (MINUS a s4*t tonne of bad mgt, debt, deductions, less squad hangers on and PLUS an amazing stadium around the corner to start filling up ALL THE TIME!)
Right now we need to pull another 4-5 pts clear of Luton to guarantee Prem assuming we get another deduction like Forest.
That's our only priority as fans since that's the one we can influence, as the incredible blues at GP have done in the last 2 relegation battles. And for once the schedule from here certainly favours us rather than Luton - and there's naff all the Prem can do about THAT
It would explain a lot
