That would be the very first step to reform. Take away their toy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Away Move Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Surely a top barrister will argue that the domino effect of potentially being relegated because Everton & Forest achieved an old field advantage due to them breaking the rules has detrimentally affected our financial position and thus the charges should not apply.

There's chat that Leeds are fvcked, and other PL clubs (Villa, Wolves). Could we see a season where several clubs next season start with points deductions? Could we appeal a few times to delay any actual punishment? Southampton are not in a good position, they posted a £87 million loss for their 22/23 records and had massive liabilities, Villa have lost £119.6 million in 22/23, apparently Wolves are losing £184,000 a day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it doesn’t factor in unexpected relegation when you have had two 5th place finishes and European football in the previous 4 years, just on paper we had the 7th highest wage bill in the prem at the time of relegation and the year on year losses. Oh yeah completely understand why it’s there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March The whole thing needs to come crashing down, either scrap any financial rules or put a salary cap in place so we're all level. None of these will ever happen though as the big 6 will be hit hardest. The only way I can see it is if all other clubs except the big 6 get together and try to change something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March I was nervous about the end of the season but the feeling tonight is that I genuinely don’t care anymore. The sport and club are toxic and corrupt. What is there to love about the ‘beautiful game’? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Feels like a number of clubs will be feeling the affect of this in the next season or two. Whilst it's easy to argue the current FFP system isn't fit for use, it could just be that this is the re-adjustment needed to correct bad practice across the industry. Time to focus on our academy, investing in club infrastructure and creating a profitable transfer strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March Sky certainly seem to have an agenda against us. The way the deal is structured certainly benefits favouritism. How many times have we been their pick compared to Leeds for example this season, never mind the number of live games the so called big six get compared to the rest of the pl. Remember every appearance is mega bucks extra, so by keeping our appearance to a minimum we get less (not to mention when we are on the pundits are invariably biased to our opposition) the whole thing is rigged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 7 March Share Posted 7 March 16 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Last January's transfer business was mingin' and I'm not talking about Tete. At least his was just a smallish loan fee. If we were that close to the brink then signings should have been loans, and I can't help but mention for the 500th time in a year that we tried to wedge Jack Harrison over £100k a week and Leeds £20m on top of all this. I've absolutely no sympathy for us. Any fan who's spent evenings gobbing off at Everton and Forest on social media recently, will you be doing the same about us if and when the time comes? I will lol. I agree Ric but at least we had reason for actually trying to outgrow our means. We were winning stuff. Those two clubs have not.

It's essential to the strategy of attracting younger talent and developing them. That and growing commercial revenue is the only proper and positive way to avoid the scenario of PSR hitting us again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this is so being stirred up by rival clubs to try to unnerve and distract us. Not to say there isn't a substance here, looks like we've got a major challenge but the reaction on here is what they want elsewhere within the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy wages are part of the problem. I don't have problem with players earning a real tasty wage but it's obvious most clubs can't afford the ridiculous sums.
