I thought there was another one as i seem to recall when the second one was announced that it might not have time to be decided before the season ended
I think using this one as precedent they will give Everton another 6 point deduction and probably the same for Forest. Like you say though it all depends on if its done before the end of the season.
It just encourages clubs to ignore the rules when they know they can get such paltry penalties. Unless penalties include repayment of revenues earned clubs will keep spending and spending. Our approach is very laudible, but every decision like this makes our approach less likely to succeed.
That's slightly different because the Glazers borrowed money to buy the club and put that debt against the club. Almost like they were buying the club for free.
Wrexham throwing money around in the national and leauge 2, Ipswich in the Championship and Everton have been doing it. Its not fair on others around them. As you say, our approach is the correct one and we're playing by the rules despite our owner reportedly having money. But the correct way we're doing it deems we sell our better players and start again, probably never going up. Football is an odd game and Evertons 6 points deduction is a joke compared to the money they have made staying in the Premier league clearly makes it worth the risk. Someone said the 4 points they gained back probably relegates the bottom 3. Burnley and Sheffield United have been shocking so no great loss. But Luton have tried and done well.
Great point re Luton. Must be gutting for them. They say cheats never prosper, apart from in football it seems.
Luton supporters seem a little peeved that they were docked 30 points in 2009 for financial irregularities which effectively kicked them out of the football league. Life is so unfair! Hey ho.
Luton put a run together so the give Everton 4 points back lol, spurs 1994 lost 12 points got them back and reinstated back i the F A cup and beat us that season money talks as they say. To me if you have all the contracts of players wages in the bank and never in debt you are o k.
Can't have Everton relegated..Everyone's second team. They boil my piss. Probably get "Saved" by a state owned takeover aswell. New stadium, in the prem, Probably go on the cheap.
This boils down to the fact that the PL now say they made a serious error in imposing a points deduction that could've relegated a club. What if Everton hadn't appealed or couldn't afford to, they might be relegated because a bunch of PL accountants and execs. They're boxing themselves into a corner here. Everton are clearly cheats, as the've accepted a points deduction ... ... it's just been gauged to keep them up while making the PL look as if they're acting fairly.
Everton could be in administration at the end of the season. The deadline has passed for the PL to accept the dodgy 777 bid. The club owes 777 about £200m. The costs to the end if the season and the cost of the new stadium could be the end. Hey ho.
I've missed this being said but that's unbelievable. So if Everton were comfortable mid table and the section but them bottom half but comfortably safe still it would be fine?
