I feel like you should look up how the rules work.
Sorry what rules have I got wrong?Chelsea managed to just balance the books but they could be in a heap of trouble this season as they haven't been able to shift players. I suspect they will fall foul of the rules.
Man Utd might be in loads of debt but have s
t loads of revenues so can easily cover the costs. We didn't sign anyone in the Jan window because of PSR and wanting to be compliant. I know as an Everton fan your pissed off, but you don't seem to grasp the rules.
I also didn't say that United had broken the rules, but they're hugely in debt which isn't great place to be when you can have a club with zero debt being docked points for losing more than the PSR guidelines allow
Have Leicester got a (football league) transfer embargo? How does that work if they go up?
I kinda get they breached during premiership years, so the punishment should be metered out by them. (In that sense, what's it got to do with the EPL?)
But I can't see a pts deduction being applied to the start of next season being fair, especially if the PL change the criteria over the summer. That being said, Forest and Everton are being done this season for the same timeframe, which doesn't seem hugely fair on them if Leicester "get away with it"
Whole things a mess. (Chelsea bang in trouble too)
Is the Leicester breach the biggest yet? Apparently there's minor, significant and major, all breaches so far being significant. Does the punishment for a major breach potentially include points deductions larger than 9 points, or even expulsion from the league?

We just can't finish. Simple as that.
That's half the problem, but we're relying on a 37 year old Jamie Vardy for 80 minutes of a game, it's ridiculous. It's the same tactics every week, nothing ever changes, he bleats on about a 2 week break working with the players and we serve up exactly the same as the previous 6 weeks, it's plan A and only plan A, which is fine when you're Pep with 22 world class players, not so much when you're Leicester City. Every team that beats us just plays 5 at the back, 2 CDMs, and a pacey forward, and it beats us, because we do nothing to counter it, yet if we go man for man we're probably better than 90% of this league.Anyone with half a footballing brain could see Bristol were coming into the game as they were making subs, we play the same lads until 80th minute every week, he never makes subs. As soon as we concede he decides to make the subs, but then Bristol City were sitting back and clinging on to a 1-0 win.
I said before the game if we lose this we'll be in the POs and I think that'll be the case now, Bottlejob FCs, the whole lot should hang their head in shame for throwing this away.
I don't know what it will take for our fans to start getting on the back of this owner, he has free reign to do what he wants, he hasn't got a clue how to run a football club, yet we still end up failing FFP, madness.

I don't think this would have happened under Vichai

Definitely wouldn't have happened under Vichai, not sacking Rodgers months before has ultimately cost us, owner hasn't got a clue what he's doing.
Well worth going up just to bank the £, even though we'll come straight back down.
I have no idea how any fans can defend the owner or the board anymore, the whole lot needs binning and we need to start again.

Whether we go up or not, this manager should go, we're where we are in spite of him, rather than because of him.
Shocking last night, tactics terrible, subs terrible, no changing of the system, same old same old. 77% possession yet 1 shot on target by the 80th minute. He finally changed the system in the 89th minute and went with 2 strikers, and we created more in injury time than we did in the previous 89 minutes.
I'm fed up of this possession based football we've played for about 8 years now, it's crap.
I know everyone will say you should be grateful etc. But I'm genuinely at the point now where I'm debating reigning it in for a while, not enjoying it much and haven't for a while now.
Onto Plymouth Friday, I must be mad travelling down there.

Try being a Saints fan. We have the tippy, tappy possession king as our manager.Shocking last night, tactics terrible, subs terrible, no changing of the system, same old same old. 77% possession yet 1 shot on target by the 80th minute.

We were in talks with him at some point, I feared we'd get him, he's a mini Rodgers. I said a big no from the first link to him.You'll get nowhere until he's gone, and the longer he stays the worse the football will get IMO. You either have to get up through the play offs this season or you'll be about 8th or 9th next year, IMO.
I'd like to see how Mark Robins does at another club.
WBA could have scored 4 but then so could we, knew Vardy would miss that penalty. Lucky to take all 3 points in the end.
I think 4 more points gets us up, but you never know. I'd take a draw on Tuesday when we play Saints.
Saints, Preston, Blackburn, I'd like to think 4 points is a worst case scenario from those 3 games.
