Oh well, bit of an admin error. Not the end of the world.
Forced to take back Ali J and play Locadia in at least 50% of the games this season.
Because it happened back in Hughton's day ........................................
I know, I should have added for the benefit of some people!
Will this be a money fine, or something else
Lines and a weeks detention
I really can't see a world in which we've breached some regulations and have self reported it and Palace haven't made at least as big a breach and not reported it.
Kind of hope the FA really stiff us on this because then when my imagined greater breach by prince charming is uncovered they'll have to stiff them much harder.
Haven't the two clubs shared a couple of admin staff over the years? Surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the unnamed culprit also worked for them and sabotaged our pristine reputation. Let's face it, he must be so used to their shady practices he probably thought it was standard practice.
The club present themselves as well run and it seems to be the case to me, indeed they seem overly officious. And yet here we are again. Will be good to get the lowdown at some point, presumably when the release details
Perhaps a less well run club wouldn't self-review to spot the mistake, or would choose to sweep it under the carpet?
Somehow I knew there would be a way in which this was Palace's fault
I will not pretend to understand what this means, but my one question would be if this was discovered in 2019, why has it only just come to light? It would seem that BHA reported to the FA 2 years ago, and yet it has taken them until now to address it. Despite my affiliation, I genuinely agree that BHA will be treated differently to the big clubs, and that is intrinsically unfair, but typical of the way the Premier League is run. I think clubs like ours are just their little playthings. They like the relegation and promotion, as it can give them some new playthings once in a while
Hopefully they will reach a sensible decision with an appropriate punishment
The club has openly co-operated with The FA throughout since initially raising the issue with them and will continue to do so.
