Sonny Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It’s a nothing article, really, apart from the tittle tattle about that meeting at Forest. Trying to vaguely link Birmingham’s points deduction to other clubs, but obviously without saying so because that’s not what is going to happen to us. Maybe it will be interesting to other football supporters but we already know we’ll be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 That Liverpool University football finance expert on Football Heaven the other night said that we were complying with the terms of the soft embargo imposed on us by the Football League. We can sign new players as long as their wages do not exceed £16k per week. We’ve sold Hunt for £2.5M(?) and signed Iorfa £200k and I can’t believe imagine Iorfa will on more than £16k per week. We’ll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Why do people keep missing the fact that Birmingham breached the terms of their embargo and that's why they were hit with a points deduction. As long as we haven't done that, there's no reason why we will have points deducted or be fined. We will likely be under some sort of embargo which will put certain caps on what we can spend.

They haven't been punished for that, infact the panel stated that didnt have any influence on the decision. It was because in 1 year they posted a loss of £33m, which is just under the maximum loss allowed over a 3 year period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Minton said: The EFL and the Premier League are different entities, neither governing body has the power to sanction or fine clubs outside of it's members. After QPR used this fact to avoid their fines under the old FFP model for several years, the EFL is taking action in the season the breaches happened, rather than the season after. All BS just different titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
