It's only the psr rules that have been challenged. Others are free to challenge any rules they feel unfairly affects them.

Sorry to disagree. ours is a totally different argument to theres, We've proved the rules are not fit for purpose. In law you can't choose the rules you like and ignore the ones you don't They all stand or they all fail. Which in our case we proved they were faulty.

They can't take us to Court, We haven't done anything wrong so they've no case against us. T hey do have a case in my opinion against the league for enforcing rules that wern't fit for purpose.

Yes correct, They completely failed to legislate for Clubs being relegated firstly, and Secondly they have no jurisdiction over another legal entity. The EPL. You cannot pick and choose pieces of the rules as they are written for enforcement. They have failed the legal challenge which means they all have to be rewritten. Now that may well mean you use a lot of the current rules with new further additions, but that becomes a completly new set of rules and the old one extinct.

We'll have to wait and see if the 2 clubs decide to take matters further. The rules cant just apply to one Club in law. They have to be the same for everbody. You can argue we got away with it on a technicality, but in law they have to be seen to work and it this case the rules were found wanting. Therefore not fit for the purpose intended. The other problem they have now is they cannot enforce rules over another leagal entity, namely the EPL.

Except that's not the way the Law works. Either the rules are correct and enforceable or they'er not. Which is what the finding was.

Agreed 100 % But it now gets into legal technicaltites now, If the rules have been now been found not to be enforceable. That must apply to all clubs which is why they may well have an appeal for compnsation. Luckily neither were relegated so a financial compensation will solve the issue quickly. Here's another situation which may be contestable. Appeal Boards are independent of the Premier League and member clubs and are appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel. You cant be judge and jury in trying to protect your own interests.

You haven't broke any rules if the rules are not fit for purpose. Which is waht the inquiry found.

The fact is now it's been legally challenged and found not fit for purpose. Both Everton and Forest may well have a Legal claim against the Premier league. It may be that because they weren't regulated they may may be liable. Where as they were trying to fine us for being a member for two years and a third year when we wern't in the Premier league. But the simple ruling is the rules were not fit for purpose. Which may mean all previous convictions scrapped and compensation paid to suffering Clubs.

I must confess after reading some of the Pl rules I was always confident the Club had a good chance of winning, Purely on legal ground which is exxactly what happened. Now we can concentrate on staying up. Don't rule out Compensation Claims by Everton and Forest now. Especially Everton who are financially broke.

That's the best lineup I've seen so far with stringer back 4 and a solid 2 in front followed by a creative 3 behind Vardy, Which gives us a real chance to win the Game. Yes I really like it.

I think he did start out as a CB. But it doesn'r matter. Swapping with Faes , Yes one possible calamity for another, At least NDiddi doesn't stop playing after a mistake.

VK.

I just cant understand Cooper continuing with him in an attacking sense. Especially when we have one of the best left Wingers in the league on the bench. VK is not a natural footballer so everything has to be learned. Though he has improved defensively a little in the recent games.

I understand what you're saying but I still think he offers to much to Bench. I know he's frustrating but take the Spurs game 2 clearances of the line and someting similar against Fulham. What about playing him as a CB, which was the position he played when we signed him.

If we're not going to play him then we should cash in before he's another year older.

For someone so young and on the way up he's exceptional. possibly our next 50 millon pound player. Looking at Pickford and Ramsdale yesterday, He's easily better than them.

Yes your right one post should have been in the NDiddi thread.

Firstly, He's comfortable with the Ball at his feet , He can beat a man and not afraid to get stuck in. He can see a Pass and he'd likely win more defensive headers. Also being invovled more in the game he's unlikely to suffer any lapses of Concentration. Plus he has others behind him to cover. Whereas now when he makes a mistake it often ends with a Goal. At the minute we're looking for a Formula that works , so why not give it a try. We're trying some other silly permutations that are having little success.

More Clearance off the Goal line for a start like he done against Spurs. If we're going to play him his old position is still his best, Even if he's not performing at his best nowadays. But as we signed him on a new Contract so we need to use him.

I'd try him in midfield, What have we got to lose. We're not winning games anyway.

Cooper should get out a few of his old videos when he was at his best and tell him this is what I want you to do. He's never going to be a Footballer in an attacking sence his touch is to poor. Move him back into midfield with Skipp or Winks and move Skipp or Winks playing in front of them offering more in attack along with the new lad. He covers ground quicker than any of the others and thats his best position.

We lack creativity in the middle of the park, Hopefully this new lad will improve us there. Once teams target Winks we struggle.

So sad to hear about Sol, Part of our Golden Era. His best game for us I think was the Man City game. Rip Sol.

He was looking leggy by then and we should have brought Vesty on who I'm sure would have won that Ball for there Goal.
