Are points deductions taking enjoyment out of football?

"It’s so complicated. They tried to explain to me but I stopped them because it was so complicated.

 

assuming that ‘they’ are those above enzo, it’s clear that the club are speaking about points deductions in house but it seems that it’s complex. 

He'll have had a bit of experience of this at Man City. That's someone playing a dead bat and saying (without saying) "You can ask me about these news stories all you want but I ain't saying anything."

Were points deducted next season then we could well be the first club in history to finish on negative points.

screwed in the championship, screwed in the prem.  KDH and Justin to be sold.

 

Rudkin out

Genuinely what even is the point in going up?

Article summarises nothing new. 

I will argue that should we have stayed in the Prem we could have lost £105m rather than the £83m for our current situation. 

Interested to know if we'd have been fine if that had happened

Tv money… can’t say we don’t need it

because the alternative option is genuinely unthinkable! 

 

One we secure our financial future but go back down. The other our club is hurling towards ruin.

It does say it’s a big points deduction. If it’s -10 or -12 then how do we even get excited about promotion?

Because pocketing that Prem TV money, even for just one season, is the best way out of this mess we're in. I don't care if we break Derby's record low points total. We need that TV money, desperately.

I guess the points deduction will be waiting for us whenever we next go up.

 

May as well get it out the way and we need the PL revenue even if just for one season.

We should absolutely not be subject to any action from the Premier League on financial issues until they have resolved the situation with Manchester City, as those charges are a direct cause of our financial problems. If those 115 charges are proven, the Premier League doesn't have a case against us.

Assume "big" is for the headline. You'd think it'd be -10 at tops, probably mitigated in an appeal to -6 as Everton have shown.

Imagine it will be 6 like Everton. 10 then appeal.

Just finding it hard to get excited about promotion when we are almost guaranteed to come straight back down.

Not necessarily. 
 

You can stay up by more than 6 points. 

[LVFox]

Maybe I'm being way too optimistic, but we can still stay up with a 6 point deduction (I'd be amazed if its any higher than that)

[goose2010]

Jesus being a journalist is an easy job these days. Get someone to write an article, then just reword it (or stick it in an ai generator) and tag them in to it to give them a little credit.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

This is actually at this stage funny.

 

Last season was a disaster.

I would like to give it a go, and it may only be 6 points like others are suggesting

If it’s -6. They’ll make an example of us. It’ll probably depend what forest get.

Everton’s official line is ‘stadium’ but they clearly overspent on players / wages relative to income and had some interesting accounting - for example their Covid losses claim of £170 million! 

I didn't think infrastructure counted towards ffp/psr?

Also remember Everton and Forest likely to start the season on minus too. 

 

A lot of average teams in the prem bottom half we can easily survive. 

 

Hopefully it will actually galvanise the fans a little. 

[JimJams]

I reckon next season we'll finish above Man City at least. Cos they'll get 200 points deducted you'd assume.

[KFS]

This is what some of you lot needed to wake up to this shit. Tifos and action needed next year. The shit six are being let off far too easy.

[kingkisnorbo]

The revisionism from those who were blowharding about Everton, Forest and Manchester City is funny. We're in the same boat whichever way you spin it.
