I’m surprised Parsons didn’t mention Leicester City winning the Championship when being in breach of the FFP rules, which allowed them to cheat for the entire season.
By the way we have been punished, Leicester should have had their title taken from them and a much more severe points deduction.

I imagine this will also be part of any argument.

Just for clarification, who decided the punishment?
Was it the independent panel or the EFL?
I guess it was the former as I have seen that only us and the EFL could appeal, but is that the case?

It must be the panel, otherwise the EFL could appeal their own decision making.
 
The 'assumption' that this has cost you £200 million shows the degrees of arrogance of those that run your football club.

The Independent panel did. The case was put forward by the EFL against SFC.

The EFL pushed for it, apparently, but one of the EFL board members is a Middlesbrough employee. Even if he was removed from the board for the hearing, I'm sure he still could have had an influence.

The game is run by idiots. Okay you can fairly say that SFC is also run by idiots, but this whole thing is insane.

Most of my anger is reserved for the governors and administrators of a sport which sold it’s soul to the devil decades ago; a sport which conspicuously fails to sanction the richest clubs, which offers it’s showpiece international competition to a country that isn’t even a footballing nation, which awards a made up peace prize to a tyrant, and which has time and time again demonstrated it’s absolute contempt for the supporters who have been it’s lifeblood for over a century.

Truth to tell, I’ve given up on professional football for some time really. Something in me won’t give up on Saints, never have, never will, even if I wanted to.

That's exactly what is? We're in the final, and so are you. The EFL let two games be played in-between the charges. They are a huge part of the problem on all of this too.

We have until August 14th to get new owners, new Management and a new squad to compete in the Championship, not a lot to ask for is it?

There might be a case for placing the present club into administration to ensure any future version of it in the future has nothing to do with the present situation. How can the present management honestly expect people to pay hard earned money to watch a team tainted by this totally unacceptable scandal which happened under their eyes!!???
Away matches?? Not for many I suspect for sometime.
