Leicester will be getting their point deduction in the summer.

if not, will it be kept until they get back into the PL?

Yep. All deductions need to be for the following season. It’s not fair going back when everything is done and dusted on the pitch.

Its so arbitrary too.

One is 4, one 6 one 10. Its all random, made up on the spot.

Yeah. The FA need to make public their guidance for how they come to their conclusions for points deducted.

I don't know what the answer is to it. Maybe all points deductions to take place the following season after they were issued?

I'm sure that has happened to some EFL clubs previously, Derby I think were one of those clubs?

I don't really like the idea that teams escape relegation because point deductions were issued to other teams, to escape it for that reason, means they were shhite anyway. If it's all done at the start of the following season, it seems a fairer playing field, Afterall, the offences I assume were not commited in the season they were issued, so why not wait another six months in Forests case.

June 1- anyone who’s ****ed something up gets ten points off for next season. Appeals heard on July 1- An extra five off if the appeal fails for being cheeky bastards.

We spoke about this at the time of Everton's appeal.

None of this should happen mid-season. Not the initial hearing, not the appeal, none of it. Charges can be levelled and so can formal responses, but anything to do with actual sentencing can logically only happen in the close season or it undermines the entire league.

And if that process cannot be completed in the course of a summer (unlikely unless the club itself drags its feet and doesn't cooperate a la Man City), it rolls on to the following summer with an additional penalty (financial or otherwise) for wasting the court's time.

I can't see any other alternative. The Everton thing was bad enough but this is just taking the piss now.

This can’t be allowed to happen again. Points deductions during a season is madness. They should all take place during the summer then at least everyone knows where they stand going into a season.

I personally see FFP going in the bin in the not too distant future.

If they're gonna be handing out points deductions like this it won't be long before somebody challenges the anti-competitive nature of the rules.

I’m torn on it. One part of me is saying it’s business and they should be able to spend as they please. It’s also hard to argue with the other side of the coin that clubs need protected if these owners decide to walk away and leave them in financial ruin.

You’d think it’s not beyond the wit of man to have a system in place where the owner has to personally be accountable for the debt he creates or even better the cash needed to run the club should he **** it off/die should be maintained at all times to ensure the club can operate. Spend what the **** you want but it’s on you.
