Sticking this in here because it's vaguely FFP related:

Club with the most expensively assembled squad of all time, who gets 100 million per season just from Adidas, who tried to destroy the entirety of English football with their super league shenanigans and got off Scot free, would like the taxpayer to pay for a new stadium to further increase their ill gotten gains. Scumbags. Real financial fair play would be stopping these pricks from spending anything, that club is a malign presence that corrupts everything in top flight football. Can we have a new stadium expansion on the taxpayer to compete with them? Of course fecking not.

He also pushed Brexit so he could profit. Man’s a complete cvnt.

Agree.

 

Anyway, why not just use the Etihad as the “Stadium Of The North” if we must have one (which we don’t).

Aye if we'd have wanted a stadium of the North we would have kept that or could have built the new Wembley in the Midlands satisfying both North and South.

whats the odds on everton being punished again and it going back to 10 points?

[Trent Steel]

Everton jammy gets. Will probably avoid another points deduction too. Forest are gonna get away with it as well you watch this space. What's the point anymore?

[Super_horns]

Just seen that .

Not surprised but they have another case to answer too of course .

Crikey. So now the points just get re-added to their total? 

 

What a fvcking shitshow. 

[Lionator]

What a stitch up.

[goose2010]

Puts Forest right in the shit.

Wouldn't surprise me 

[ajthefox]

Does it say why it was reduced?

[MonkeyTennis?]

The appeal was inevitable, as was the reduction in the penalty, but it does now seem to establish a precedent that six points is a reasonable deduction for this kind of FFP breach, which means Everton will likely be hit with another 6 points this season, and Forest will get the same. 

 

So their future is in Luton's hands basically.

So they can do them again 

 

if they only give them 3 points for the new offence then they’ll only be able to give forest 3 points. 
 

so they fiddle it all around a bit.

Anyway if you are in the North East like Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough et al then Manchester is still a way south

this is awful for luton, constant moving goal posts.

I think the general feeling is 10pts was too harsh. 

Their guilt has never been questioned (apart from some delusional fans).

Wouldn't surprise me if they get a further 4/6 pts taken off them over the ongoing charge. 

[Lambert09]

I’d take 6 points if we get 2 extra £25m players in the squad  It’s just not enough of a punishment to really stop people doing it. 

 

10 was bang on for me 

[Super_horns]

Saw this elsewhere regarding Forest .

 

This from Martin Ziegler of the Times on Forest
“ Nottingham Forest’s disciplinary hearing for breach of the Premier League financial rules will be on March 7 and 8 - outcome by April 8.
Points deduction looks certain”.

[Stinkenzo]

Can see it now in 20 years when Man City finally get punished

 

PL: You're relegated to League 2

Man City: No

PL: Okay, 6 point deduction instead

[Stadt]

I think Forest might actually be cooked this time

The panel decided that Everton weren't "less than frank" about their stadium loans and also that a "benchmark" of 6 points is more in line with EFL practices...

Yeah, it's horrible that your competition gets crippled and makes PL survival more achievable  the goal posts move every match day anyway. 

Everton and Forest are just extremely fortunate that it likely won't have any bearing on their seasons as the promoted teams are lacking so much in quality.

 

The ones it REALLY is awful for are the teams that were denied promotion/PL survical because of these clubs knowingly breaking the rules.

 

It pays to break them currently if 6 points is deemed sufficient for three seasons of overspending.
