Furious George Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I find all this schadenfreude really distasteful. Leicester fans on their own forum now panicking what it means because something outside of their control may result in a points deduction. Wednesday fans demanding our owner who has done us all over is removed, and then saying Leicester deserve it Edited March 21 by Furious George 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No deduction this season, go up, rake in millions, maybe come down with more millions. Im sure they’re devastated to know it won’t impact them in the slightest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got relegated from the Premier League, went into administration, wrote off a load of debt and went straight back up. They are the reason that clubs now get a 10 point deduction for going into administration. I hope they have a hefty points deduction waiting for them when they go back up. No they didn’t. They struggled for a few seasons in the championship before being relegated to L1. It was only after Mandaric sorted them out and then sold them on that they finally began to recover almost 10 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dishonest lot deserve each other and to be excluded from the current set up Football has become less of a fair game and more of a money pit personally I prefer the Championship to the top table because I M O teams are more equally matched 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only after Mandaric sorted them out and then sold them on that they finally began to recover almost 10 years later. Leicester City were relegated in 2002 and went into admin that season. A Gary Lineker consortium saved them and Mickey Adams got them back in the premier league the same season but wasn't allowed to sign players. That's how the points deductions arrived as football league clubs complained about it and a unfair advantage. Milan took over in 2007. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOFABI Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The whole system is deeply flawed. I don't believe any club should have their off-pitch actions result in on-pitch consequences, that's letting the owners ******** about and punishing the fans for it. Fine the owners themselves and regulate their investment if you want to actually disincentivise irresponsible spending. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went up that same season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR still owe millions from their fine when when they cheated their way to the PL years ago. Man City and Chelsea seem immune to these sanctions. Chelsea were allowed to be sold to Putins mate, funded by dirty russian money. The whole thing stinks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that points deductions are being branded about, clubs are starting to poo themselves and belatedly trying to balance the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be awful for whichever team goes bust first (plz be Utd) but it feels inevitable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 So Leicester will get a points deduction next season for breaching the rules last season. Everton could get a second points deduction ( and possible relegation) for breaching last season. Forest have got a smaller points deduction than Everton for breaching last season. City have 100 plus charges spanning numerous seasons with a secret date set for a hearing. Chelsea appear to have numerous breaches with no charges. They are making a really good job of applying the rules fairly aren't they? This could drag on through the courts for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton shed their debts same as Leicester. We kept on being eaten alive by the co-op overdraft and other debts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I’ll be honest, any club going into admin should get what Rangers did, relegated to the bottom tier. That’d stop it, 10 points to a team like Man City would be nothing, they might finish 6th instead of top 2 for one season. I understand the idea of not allowing clubs to be in a position to go bust, but they didn’t offer any help to Bury when their owner took the urine. Any business owner should be allowed to invest in his business, just not as loans or as debt against the club, after all it’s their business as Chansiri keeps telling us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be possible to stop a team getting promoted if they break the rules or if in a case that court action will overrun the promoted club is immediately advised they will be relegated from the league they have been promoted to at the season end are not granted any payments from the PL for that season and are provided only with the statutory payments from the league they were in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
