What accountant would let that get passed them? Unless they were given the wrong information by someone at the club, but all those charges have been dropped Going to be an entertaining, intense, nail biting experience this is.

Elvin Parsnip Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Barnsley weren’t even in our league when we allegedly broke the rules - Derby are being left alone because they have too many points - desperate sad people - they won’t hit us hard because in the current circumstances the EFL are going to have to rely on rich owners to fund their clubs and keep them going otherwise they will be left with a league full of Luton’s and Barnsley’s which is their nightmare scenario- FFP was really designed to keep big clubs in the EFL in my opinion-Leeds ,us , Forest,Derby going up must give them nightmares.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It’s strange how instead of instigating the type of change that would benefit everyone in the FL. The clubs would rather just waste each season pointing the finger at whoever has overspent on FFP, and act as if that’s causing the imbalance. They should focus their efforts on introducing proper spending caps that actually level the playing field. The approach at the minute seems to be if we don’t get promoted to the PL then we’ll kick up a fuss about FFP. Boro had no problem with us or Derby when they finished 2nd. Or a problem with Wolves when they finished in the Play Offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 9 points could satisfy the mob, give us a fighting chance and get the EFL off the hook. Whilst 12 points, with our run in will probably relegate us. Whatever happens it'll be good to get it sorted, been going on for way too long now. Gibson will have been on the phone as soon as Boro went two down at home to a shizen side.

Yeah "Hearing brought forward amid concerns from rival clubs" This gets even murkier and stranger in that case So rival clubs have been kicking off wanting this done and dusted and us punished this season? Wonder when they kicked off about it and why didn't they kick off the second it was announced it was going to be heard in July? So many things are crazy about this and the hearings haven't even started yet! Steve Gibson kicked off about it at 4:55pm last Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Personally I’m glad it will be sorted this season either way. Getting sick of it dragging on and potentially impacting another season. On the pitch we just need to get our heads down and try to secure as many points as possible to mitigate and charge handed out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL includes leagues 1 and 2 you know. Your post indicates they only care about the Championship. They want decent clubs in every league to add revenue streams and interest. I don’t think they will take what you said into account when handing out any charge. It will all come down to the evidence provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdog1121 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Has this been moved forward so when they find us guilty (After a fair hearing of course) They have time to squash the enevitable appeal before next season starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hold on one minute. Weren’t Derby and us charged around the same time? But the league have agreed to bring our trial forward but leave Derby’s where it was? Well that hat sounds very fair. How can two clubs have the same charges at the same time, and it looks like one will be impacted this season, and one next? That goes against every rule rule of fairness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's good for one it's good for the other, Derby should be dealt with at the same time time as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 For those saying they’d “take a 9 point deduction now” Remind me again how many games we’ve won/lost/drawn since Xmas. Any points deduction would send us down as we’ll not stay up with the run-in we’ve got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'll be honest, I am pretty confident about this. 1. They have rushed our independent panel to start due to club complaints, but not Derby's. If us and Derby were both expecting big deductions it would have to be at similar times 2. Chansiri, Meire and Redgate were cleared of their charges in relation to this case 3. Whether or not 100% true, it is to be believed the club have evidence from the EFL sanctioning this sale (if we had zero evidence to counter argue then this would not go to an independent panel) 4. It seems the EFL are desperate to claim any win to curb the continuous issues of FFP (even a large fine and a small points deduction ends this problem for them for now) 5. An independent panel gives us a stronger chance rather than having the EFL decide 6. If found guilty and the punishment is huge, we could launch an appeal (Court of Arbitration for Sport) and this drags on and on We aren't going down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
