    Well, that would be handy! Two investigations, but perhaps they applied to Prem league misconduct and not enforceable in the current league.

    Time will tell.

    It’s a farce all round. Not fair on us if they don’t dock points and not fair on Leicester if they do at this stage of the season. Not fair on Forest if they get sanctioned and not fair on Luton if they don’t.

    The way I see it is ...the premier league is a separate entity to the Championship, with different ffp rules etc. There will be no points deduction until they go back into the premier league!!

    I agree.The PL can't deduct points from an EFL club.If they've breached EFL rules that's a different matter,but I'm not holding my breath.

    They were discussing it on talksport the other day. A big possibility that the season could end and you still wouldn't know who has been relegated.
    (Premier league)
    I agree that the Leicester situation is a farce.
    Perhaps it would be fair if all three of the relegated sides were docked 10 points each.:grin:

    Points deductions are just not the answer to this. Reduce the prize money / reduce parachute payments and reduce the next allowance instead. You overspend? You get clobbered for your overspend once in your prize money and once in your next spending limit. Otherwise it’s only in cases where promotions / relegations change that there’s any punishment at all and that affects other teams unfairly.

    My other love, apart from Ipswich, is Barcelona and trust me, the **** we are in is a nightmare and the way la liga is putting crazy restraints on us and everyone else, apart from Real ****ing Madrid, is absolute insanity!! Javier Tebas from la liga is destroying Spanish football, he says Barça can easily solve their ffp problems.... Sell all your best players!!! Yeah that'll work, that makes sense, solve all your best players and you will be fine, the fact you would probably get relegated is neither here nor there.

    Sorry to hear that Spanish. After an amazing stay and exploring Barcelona, the splendid Gaudi art trail and even seeing the Nou Camp stadium, the Club came my no 2 after ITFC!

    My love for Barça is on a par with Ipswich these days, obviously coz where I live and the fact that everyone around here are either Sevilla, Real Betis or mostly real ****ing Madrid, who I absolutely detest!!

    I think the deal also includes the sale of all Spanish vineyards to some French company called Piat d'Or
