FinnishOwl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Just now, latemodelchild said: If it is 6 points then I'd take it but it means we are guilty. It means DC has tried to pull a fast one and got caught with his fingers in the biscuit barrel. That worries me a lot. He's got millions, or so we're told, yet he's tried to pull a trick that on the face of it, looks like a proper chump move. The problem is not the available money but the rules tying the hands of the people with money. In case we get a penalty, I hope the six points proves to be true. In any case, the faster this whole thing is over, the better. We have some rebuilding to do and need to have clear vision of where we are and where we should head next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sold players for actual money then it'd free up some cash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still requires that we sell them for profit, which is something that has always been very hard for us. Now that we have this karma based football family thing going on, even more so.

We used to say that in hope; now it feels like a cruel joke. Almost every asset we owned has been allowed to run down their contract and walk away for free. Of those who remain, only Reach, Iorfa and Bannan would raise a decent fee. In the current climate, maybe not even them. Our only hope on that front might be if a Premier League club wants to take a punt on Iorfa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a mandatory scale for punishment linked to the losses over £39m, which is where the -12 points deduction seems to come from, does this indicate some mitigating circumstances are in play so we have a reduced penalty? So -6 is an agreed penalty by both sides who have made errors, so it's not about breaching the limit, but 'technical' breaching of the rules.....this being the smallest penalty that Boro, dingles etc.will accept (the biggest one we will accept) so this goes away now and the season can be finished without appeals?

mcmigo Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 -6 , if we are guilty, would be a hell of a result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I don't think anyone can have an accurate idea of what the punishment (if any) will be. The EFL punishments seem to have been wide ranging and quite random in the past. What I do know is the sooner its sorted the better, for everyone concerned. We need to know what we are dealing with next year so we can crack on (or not....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still not ITK which kind of makes it irrelevant. Anyone can pluck numbers out of the air, we’ve all been doing it since this came to light. If it’s 6 points then that’s very luck considering Brum got 9 for what many would deem a less financially implicating scenario. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has been overlooked. Monk has come into a club loaded with over paid players who aren't interested, owned by an interfering chairman who has shot the finances to the extent that we face a 12 point deduction, and all without so much as bringing an Assistant Manager in. Think it's time some of our fans got real and recognised that we aren't some sexy piece of ass but rather a bloated carcass in need of serious work. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
