winteriscoming Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 Weren’t Man City charged with not publishing their accounts and they got into massive trouble……..oh wait no it doesn’t apply to them or Chelsea.

Popular Post Nods Posted 20 May 2025 Popular Post Posted 20 May 2025 The worst thing about the whole thing for me is that we appear to operate carefully at all the wrong times. We've consistently breached PSR anyway, so why were we so bothered about spending literally nothing in the first relegation season? You'd understand more if we'd been consistently careful to stay within the rules since. Would have been so easy to stay up that year re-investing a little more of the Schmeichel salary savings and Fofana money. Then the following summer we spunked silly money on Winks, Coady, Fatawu (who tbf was a good signing), etc. Then after spending inflated sums on these players wouldn't give Enzo a penny in January, which very nearly cost us promotion as we ended the window weaker than we started it with Casadei going back. Not to mention the contracts we handed out to the likes of Vestergaard on promotion back to the PL. The way we're operating achieves the worst of both worlds. We're limiting ourselves in the transfer market but also breaching PSR (causing issues with recruitment of managers and players last summer and likely this). Either run a tight ship and stick within the rules, avoiding controversy and deductions. Or 'do a Forest', take the points hit on the chin and build a competitive squad. I'm consistently baffled in life by how thick so many people are. These are senior board members we're talking about. Why can I, a relatively casual fan with zero experience in football see this, and they can't? I'm sure there's more that goes into these decisions than I'm making out, but we seem to be the only club managing to strike quite such an awful balance season on season. It's genuinely at the point that if the objective was to run the club as poorly as possible, I'm struggling to understand what they'd be able to do differently to make it any worse than it already is. 8
VLC86 Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 Any noise on Leeds getting charged as well? Can’t imagine they did too well on PSR in the championship.
Detroit Blues Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 Please educate me. How is this different than the last time the Premier League tried to punish us? My layman's understanding of the ruling is that since we were in the Championship when the punishment was handed down, we weren't a Premier League club and thus were not in the jurisdiction of the Premier League's rulings. It seems like the same issue?
Legend_in_blue Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 The more thought you put into it, the more ridiculous the whole scenario is. These people behind the scenes should be ashamed of themselves. An utter embarrassment, the lot of them.
UniFox21 Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 This article arguably makes it even more confusing. From what I can make out, a tribunal has determined the independent appeals board were wrong? The charge for not promptly cooperating is also hilarious

They’ve ripped up their own rule book to come back for more after losing a case. They’re acting on spite. All whilst failing to deliver the final verdict on Man City - because going against a state will inevitably unearth all the corruption beneath the surface. Simply not true. They lost one case (even though the panel actually agreed it was the wrong decision) and won the other. Both cases were ultimately due to the club arguing that the PL didn’t have jurisdiction for either years. They haven’t ripped up their own rule book. Yes, there was a loophole due to bad wording, which we exploited for the 22/23 charge and has now been closed, but the fact is we breached for both seasons…of course they are going to go after us! The Man City case is a whole other ball game and all the delaying tactics have been on City’s side. The stuff around Chelsea and selling assets to themselves is infuriating, but those rules were voted through by the PL clubs. They had a chance to close that loophole recently via a vote and the PL clubs voted against it! The PL and EFL have proven that they are shoddy with the details, but when a club breaches, they are going to charge them. That’s the rules and the club is fully aware of them.

On the financial issue it is the same thing, the tribunal has just given the PL the green light on jurisdiction to do something about it as the PL were not sure on their own rules. But there are 2 more charges now being levied, we didn't submit our accounts on time (31st December 2024) and we have been obstructive. I find it hard to find a way around the first two, the last one is more subjective, will depend on evidence. 1

And the reason for delaying the forecast? so we could shithouse our way out of the championship by spending if £201m is the correct amount they might as well have kept KDH. If also means we will probably breach this season after spending £80m with such a high 3 year average

If accounts aren’t submitted before 31 December, sanctions can’t be levied in the same season. So presumably we deliberately delayed submitting our accounts for FY24 in the hope that we’d survive this season, strengthen in the summer and deal with any points deduction next season when the squad is in better shape. Unfortunately our relegation this season means that little ruse has backfired spectacularly. Edited 20 May 2025 by ClaphamFox 1

Ricey Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 26 minutes ago, steamedhamms said: I totally understand why not submitting accounts is punished as non-cooperation (seems utterly stupid that we didn’t) but if you challenge something, win and then win the appeal I cannot see how that is the club in the wrong personally so I’m not sure why that is deemed relevant to this idea of an aggravated breach. Seems absurd! It seems like we should get punished, and the club deserves it to a large extent but 12+ points seems to me a pretty clear indication that the rules are no longer about the sustainability of clubs at all. The challenge we made and appeal we won was for a different season to the season we failed to submit our accounts I believe. I think the three charges are all for 23/24, so the ‘win’ we had over the PL doesn’t come into it.
TheFiveTime Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 seriously what on earth....i honestly couldnt imagine running my business this shambolically
HankMarvin Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 At this rate they will be lucky to have RVN, talk about poisoned chalice
AyewJoking Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 have they changed the rules and charged us again for a case we successfully wormed our way out of last time?

fox_favourite Posted 20 May 2025 Posted 20 May 2025 (edited) Incompetence breeds incompetent results. This is on the board, on Top for not sorting it out when we were relegated, the short sightedness of how to run things, employing the wrong people, not changing things to make the club sustainable. It's an awful show of stupidity all round. Wrexham are ran better than us, and they have American actors who never understood football, yet they are creating success.
