[Football] Forest docked 4 points FFP

[shingle]

Just come through on t'internet

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I wonder how they got to 4pts? Everton were initially docked 10 which were then reduced to 6. What did they do that was 50% worse than Forest?

All seems a bit random.

So that parts them in the relegation zone on 21 pts right?

It's supposed to be at least partly geared to the quantum of losses in excess of the PSR limit.

They'll probably appeal it down to 2 points. Then Everton will get theirs reduced to 2 points too and the whole exercise will be a massive waste of everybody's time

Yep.

I was expecting them to increase it to 6 on appeal!

This. It's a real shame that the premier league haven't had the balls to stand by their punishments. The January transfer window just passed was a real demonstration of some reality returning to the market as clubs realised that they had to manage to a budget. Which consequently placed us in a really strong position going into the summer window due to the health of our balance sheet.

I imagine now clubs will go back to their profligate ways as they can "relatively" get away with it.

Apparently it’s a lower points deduction than it might have been so that it reduces the chance of an appeal which the PL really don’t want as it would drag on beyond the end of the season and make the relegation battle a farce.

Behind-the-scenes insight into the FFP decision making process;

So the fine is based on trying to avoid an appeal and make the relegation fight still exciting rather than the perceived level of the actual crime?

Wouldn't that be just like the PL!

At the end of this season, the table is going to be mostly asterisks

 

[Pevenseagull]

Probably wait until May 18th to decide how many points Man City have deducted.

There needs to be an unequivocal and published set of tariffs for this. And a coherent rubric for decision making.

Instead they are making it up as they go along, changing the objectives, plucking tariffs out of thin air, basing the narrative on wafer-thin foundations that are easily challenged. All slogans, huff and puff, and no evident plan let alone end game. No idea what success should look like.

It all seems a bit 'Brexitty' to me.

 

[US Seagull]

By the end of May 25th this year, the Premier League will release their provisional final league standings pending months of court challenges and appeals.

We'll know who won the league and who got relegated sometime in 2027.

I don't do conspiracy theories but, much like our Royal Family currently, there's plenty being done here to ENCOURAGE them.

Transparency is needed and an update on the Man City situation wouldn't go amiss either.

Just do it like Ian Wrights FA cup draw yesterday.

A velvet bag in the studio with numbered balls.

"Number 2"

("thats Everton")

"Will face a deduction of"

("Number 6")

"So Everton lose 6 points"

 

[Insel affe]

laughable, and it is not even funny, the whole system and process is embarrassing.
