I think the last 3 paragraphs of the forest statement are very strong. And one which we should also get behind. Of wider concern for all aspirant clubs is the disturbing effect this decision will have on the operation of the player trading model. This is the only model by which clubs outside of the small group at the very top end of the Premier League can realistically advance up the football pyramid. The rationale of the Commission is that clubs should only invest after they have realised a profit on their player development. This reasoning destroys mobility in the football pyramid and the effect of the decision will be to drastically reduce the room for manoeuvre for all such clubs, leading to the stagnation of our national game. We believe that the high levels of cooperation the Club has shown during this process, and which are confirmed and recorded in the Commission's decision, were not reciprocated by the Premier League

Looks like our 'offence' is probably worse than their's and more akin to Everton so would expect a 6 to 10 point deduction.

This really is it. The higher the climb, the bigger the fall. And we all knew it would eventually come, but it still feels way too soon, and more soon than it needed to be. It will never get better than 2016, and that's a very depressing thought even if it was beyond amazing at the time. Something needs to happen at the club where we can reset our relationship with the club and the sport.

Tbh I have a lot going on and football which is usually the outlet is just compounding everything at the moment

This is why I’ve been enjoying the darts recently. There’s still an innocence and fun in watching it which doesn’t exist in football.

They’ve conceded 6 goals in their last 16 games.

This is good cope but ultimately it doesn’t matter if any other season would see us miles ahead. Because this season is essentially do or die for the future of the club. If we don’t go up, we will be Stoke, Derby, Sunderland etc for the next five seasons and beyond.

Exactly one month ago Leeds were 12 behind us and Ipswich 18. Absolutely f*** this football club and its constant ability to fail and crumble under pressure.

Like being battered week after week if we somehow get back up.

I thought it was a poor performance KDH aside. The defensive slopiness was league two standard and the front 3 were a complete waste of space besides the goal. Ndidi looks a shell of his former self after a bright start. If that's how we perform in knockout games then we aren't getting through the play off semi final.

Brenzo Maresca.

For what? Bottling it again?

If it wasn't for Sterling and a terrible og, it would've been 5-1.

Sounds toxic there.

Just got to go for it now.

!!!!

Our fans are so embarrassing

I'll be cheering for Leeds this afternoon, no way do I want to see these mugs get rolled over every week against american oil baron money.

To be fair to Abdul, nobody is giving him an option.

That should be a penalty

£40k a week as well, mad

This is why it might be good not to get promoted. Imagine sitting through this every week.

We’re SO much better with Wilf. It’s not even close. We win the ball 20 metres further forward which actually makes us dangerous. He must be kept fit

4-0 Chelsea.

I think it’s more that they look incredibly free flowing. They can turn it on at the drop of a hat. We look fatigued, tethered and empty.
