First match ive been able to go to this season as I live in Spain and work in the far east. Im only back in Norwich where I used to live to have eye ops and someone offered me their ST seats in a Norwich stand. I snapped them up as I'm hoping to see us beat a team that looks more in a mess than we are! COYB!

Not really I don't give a to$$ what anyone else pays, but if I'd paid an equal amount into a private pension I could have retired happily by now. It's all too easy to lay the blame at the door of the older age group but we've paid are dues thank you. I've supported my club for a long time, even when I'm at the other side of the planet, like I am right now. If they want to support the pensioner group all power to them. When will people stop begrudging others a little help now and then in return for their investment over many years. I'm pretty sure the next generation won't turn it down if it's offered either.

I've paid a huge amount more in tax and NI every month over the last 40years, and that doesn't include my years in the services. I can look forward to my measly £200 a week state pension in a few years time, so a bit of discount before I shuffle off this mortal coil isn't just appreciated it's fricking paid for, and when I do go, what I've paid for will be snaffled up by the next generation whether they've paid anything or not, in one way or another! I hate that argument from younger generations. Wait till you're old and can't afford one of your life's pleasures! Not that every match so far has been a pleasure mind you. Rant over 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I’m being pessimistic, but the way I see it is that a transfer embargo plus points deduction is double jeopardy. The points deduction on top of a transfer embargo almost ensures that you run the very real risk of being relegated to a lower league which entails lower revenue from league position, lower revenue from gate receipts, less or no TV revenue and the loss of revenue from sales of players as the vultures swoop to cherry pick from what was a half decent team. These are seemingly draconian measures which could lead, in the worst case scenario to exactly what the FFP rules were instigated to try to prevent. A successful business plan surely works on investment to increase future profit or streamlining by keeping the most efficient, strongest part of the business to build on going forward. Application of both the punishments appears to be a “ hamstringing” process to push a club into years of rebuilding on a very low budget. How on earth would any club outside the top, highest earning clubs in the premier league think that it was a good idea to vote for this kind of ruling? Am I wrong?
