Unlikely. It has to go through the independent commission, plus appeals process. That will take some time.

If there’s an appeal. I just wonder at some point if a party backs down

This is all because we have signed rubbish over the last few years. Our recruitment used to be top notch but now it's appalling. Why has that happened? We need to get back to scouting good players. It's been panick buys both on the player and manager front.....and giving these players crazy contracts. Just got to hope the youngsters can come good. We won't be able to move the likes of Skipp, Ayew and Reid on as no one will want them.

There's a very large part of me that is sick to death of the continued poor running of the club but there is also a small part of me that feels there is witch hunt against us now. They've tried and failed several times and yet they keep coming after us. Part of me wants us charged to really show up our board and owner for the incompetent waste of space they all are, and another part of me thinks fck the PL and their shoddy rules that they have to keep changing cos they haven't got a clue what they are doing. It comes to something when our board/owner/Nick De Marco keep embarrassing these bunch of imbeciles!

No. Just sick of it all. About time we stopped living this close to the edge. Sick of the club in the headlines for the wrong reasons. 

 

Would rather do 10 years out of the premier league if it meant resetting the club back to a sustainable way. 

[FrankieADZ]

thing that really pisses me off with all of this is, the club hasnt even tried to massively play the rules like Chelsea did

the backlash we are getting for all this yet Chelsea selling their womens team, hotels etc to themselves isnt massively gone against

[MrLuke]

I find the timing very suspect, as well as ability to retrospectively changing the rules. This has been done for maximum impact; they could've very easily deducted us points this year, but as we have been a lost cause since December and have come to the obvious conclusion that penalising us next season will hurt us more.

 

But I definitely don't think we are being singled out here. The only thing that is being singled out about us is that we are the only premier league team with an incompetent leadership.

It sounds like the club aren't fighting this one. They know they have no grounds to do so.

 

It will go to the independent commission. That'll take a few months, we'll appeal it, that'll take a few more weeks and we'll probably get a verdict at some point in the winter.

[LVFox]

Another summer spent guessing of points deductions. Think we are far more likely this time (almost guarenteed). My early guess? 6

It’s not without reason though

Its a different one and due to our first challenge the Prem and EFL aligned their rules to ensure they were in place for this next period, likely to catch us out.

 

All we did was kick the can down the road. The punishment is going to be severe. 

The board has ****ed up and heads need to roll.

 

That said, it's still not right the leagues can conspire after the financial breach and change there rules  to retrospectively punish us because their rules weren't fit for purpose at the time.

So the second he decides he can't be arsed anymore. What happens then?

 

It all needs to be sorted out. Leicester City is fully capable of standing up by itself and should do so.

You really should end your posts with................................Nice!

[Thewie]

Wonder how the bloke in sk3 who gave UFS the v’s everytime they chanted about the board feels about the board now

[Scotch]

Is there still anyone defending the owners? They are running us into the ground. 

[teblin]

Lots makes sense now.

 

- Signing a free agent manager in Steve Cooper last summer

- No further signings in Jan to speak of

- Not sacking Ruud

- Not renewing for Vards(might be his choice, might be a bit of both)

 

Its all to put in Vardys words a "S**tShow". I just want to get some certainty back into everything, if we have failed to comply, get the punishment, then hopefully be able to start knowing where we stand next season.

 

I'd assume we'll get -6, that might be taken down to -4 on appeal.

True this and there is literally not one single club that is comparable to us over the past 5 years when it comes to prs. We've gone from playing in Europe, being in the top 6 of the league (and having a wage bill/transfer budget to try and sustain this), to having 2 relegations in 3 years. If Forest or Villa for example was to get relegated next season then that would make them comparable to our situation. 

 

Yes the clubs been poorly run for years but we chased a dream, it ended and now we have at least try to follow the rules by reducing the wage bill etc whereas like you said, the likes of Chelsea are doing dodgy stuff to get around the rules.

I'd agree with the suggestion of a witch hunt. We're no longer in the PL, so why should it matter to them? It's like they're still smarting over us avoiding the earlier punishment.

Yet Chelsea, Man. City, nothing ever materialises.

What lovely news to wake up to.

 

But according to Guy Branston, Rudkin is the best in the biz. 

Shift worker? or just lazy?

[TrentFox]

So how do others get away with vast losses, if this BBC article is correct? Yes their turnovers are massive compared to ours, but isn’t it the same  fixed sum you are allowed to lose for all clubs?

The worst thing is that of all the clubs to breach in recent years or come close to it - Forest, Everton, Villa - they have something to show for it. Progression up the table, PL survival, European football. We've technically breached 2 or 3 times and gotten relegated twice. 

 

Broken the loss making rules whilst also been less successful on the pitch - King Power masterclass.

But you did say he will get more than he bought the club for, well what Vichai paid, which is probably true but that's a naive argument at best. If you buy something for £20m, but have to put in £20m a season for 5 seasons then sell it for £40m you haven't doubled your money. This is what KP have done,  but on a different timescale and monetary figures. 

It’s a fair point, but wasn’t really the crux of the point I was making. King Power have improved the asset while at the club, if top indeed gets bored as the previous poster suggested then there would literally be no logical sense as to why he wouldn’t take that exit strategy as opposed to sitting on his hands and letting the club go bankrupt. There’s not really anything to suggest that’s in his nature really, as opposed to one of his previous example in Reading where there owner had an extensive background of doing the exact same thing and liquidating clubs before.

And makes it even more incompetent to waste £20 million on Skipp

Still very much the same I would guess.

If you are still in the camp of this is all ok then I think nothing will sway that now.

We spent £3m on Coulibaly and didn't use him. And he was out of contract in the summer...
