Wouldn’t mind so much if any of the players we bought had been any good frown

Annoying we could not hold on v Luton, otherwise we'd still be above them.

I think if we had won that game we'd have been given a six point deduction...

I'd assume cynical, surely the number of points was decided before your game the other day biggrin

I'm guessing Everton are looking at 6 points, unless they also had mitigating points.

Well we got 6 points, with 2 given back for being nice to the EPL. Did you suck up to the EPL as much as we did post the charge?

No we did our sucking up before, when we consulted with the FA on timing of the Johnson deal.

I wonder when Man City are going to get their points deductions? It’s starting to look like there is one rule for normal clubs like Forest, Everton & yes, Derby but a different rule for clubs which are owned by the government of the United Arab Emirates. Maybe they are too rich & powerful for the football authorities to take on?

I suspect they can throw money at lawyers, finding loopholes and keep this going for years, out of order and very unfair and something has to be done about it.

There's 115 charges, so it will take a lot longer to process. I'd hope that the PL are making a water tight case, running it past numerous legal eagles and all coming to the conclusion that there's no way that City with their legal army can wriggle out of the charges. Then they'll throw the book at then and dump them in league 2 to make sure no club blatantly takes the piss again.

I mean we all know that won't happen and it'll be a 2 year transfer ban (second year as a suspended sentence) and a year's ban from Europe.

I saw a post pointing out that the 'e' in your seats should be an 'E'.

Why is it like that?
You deserve a points deduction for that alone !!!

Although we don't know the details, it seems that EPL did not allow BJ's transfer fee to be included in last season's numbers. Therefore we should not have too much financial pressure to sell to stay within the rules this season, as we have his transfer fee and that of Mangala?
Just got to stay in the PL now.

I presume someone can work it out, with relation to the transfer costs of Sangarre, Murillo etc. I guess it may be tight, but the profit from Mangala will help, as will having a bigger loss allowable due to 2nd year of being in the Prem. Also having a sponsor that actually pays some cash should help! I'm seeing loads of doom merchants on Twitter etc saying we will need to sell but i am not sure that is correct.

I don't do X but far too many doom merchants around, but the BJ and Mangala sale plus the additional allowance must help.
Also finally a good article in NP from the chartered accountant Robert Matusiewicz, I can now understand why the club have appealed.
