Points Deductions (any reason)

[Pitre]

As a matter of principle I believe that all points deductions should only be applied in the closed season.

I have no axe to grind as my club hasn't had any deductions lately, I just feel it's unfair to continue playing competitively with that sort of axe hanging over you. Even Man City should only have their eventual fine applied between seasons imho. I feel incredibly sorry for Forest and Everton (and Luton etc) who don't yet know their final situation and whether it is based on what they do in the final few weeks or the whim of the fools at the FA.

Regarding Manchester City, it's a Kangaroo court, with trumped up fake charges.

We are 100% innocent.

Justice will prevail, in fact we should be awarded ten points for the inconvenience of having to appoint barristers.

You may of course be right (you're not though 😉) but I'd argue that the ten points you'll be given (not) should be awarded in the summer.

All I'm saying is that teams need to start the season with any deduction considered appropriate rather than being told with a few weeks left.

Why would it only cost 10 pts? And why would pts deduction be the only punishment?

Ask the OP, it's his thread.

With respect, I wasn't commenting on the amount of points deducted (or any other penalty) but simply reflecting on the fact that these clubs have campaigned for 9 months only to have their goalposts moved with a month of the season left. Feels wrong to me...
