That's 8 points now. They'll be below Sheff Utd soon the way this is going.

Indeed, Duke

It never rains but it pours

They will get some back on appeal 😉

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
arent there cases to answer for Man City and Chelsea too?

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Shouldn’t everyone who did it get their point deduction notice at the same time?

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
This is all a nonsense for me. Yea OK maybe the clubs did break the rules, but are they good rules anyway? Seeing the league table with an asterisk next to some clubs names don't look right to me. Has to be another way other than ending up with an ''incorrect'' league table and fans potentially suffering, not to mention the players and coaching staff etc. The league table should reflect what happens on the field of play only, in my humble.

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Points deductions only ended up as punishments for delinquent clubs. Forest, Wolves and Everton have been either forced to sell or concede they can’t afford transfers in time for action to be taken. West Ham were warned that they were under scrutiny, as well.

If a club gets docked points for breaches of financial regulations they can’t really complain these days.

Would you say the same if the players were doping off the field? They cheated the financial system to gain an advantage on the pitch, end of, not sure why you would have some sort of problem with that. Its clear that many clubs would bankrupt themselves if they weren't wary of these rules, then what do all the fans players and coaching staff you mention do then?

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Interesting how nothing has happened to Man City and Chelsea so far... same old same old, eh?

On The Ball 10:28 Tue Mar 19
Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
I don't think so, if I understand it correctly. Everton and Forest broke one rule which is easily checked. Man City are accused of 115 (?) breaches which is obviously going to take longer to investigate and probably won't be as simple as 'have they spent more than £X', which is what the others did.

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Yep, and the moral of the story is......make sure when you break the rules it's very, very unclear how you actually broke them......

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
If a team won a cup by breaking the rules and only get a 4-6 points deduction its probably worth it.

Helmut Shown 10:55 Wed Mar 20
Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
They should have another four points deducted for having that ugly cheating diving bastard Morgan Gibbs-White in their team

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Leicester now under investigation.
Pound to a piece of shit their punishment will be doled out reasonably sharpish, whilst the Citeh and Chelsea cases are swept under the rug/not proven/drag on until everyone forgets.
Yeah, football ain't bent.

On The Ball 12:42 Fri Mar 22
Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Depends whether they've broken one simple rule like Everton/Forest or 115 complicated ones like Man City might have.

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
And the owners of Man City might well fancy joining or starting a new European league…

Yeah, get where you're coming from fella.
Time will, I suppose, tell.
Still think this converastion will be ongoing in a few years time. Really don't think the PL can afford to strip titles/points form 'succesfu'l teams. They wouldn't dare damage the BRAND.

Chelsea are risking it big time as they used ammorsation over the long contract periods to squeek withing the rules.
If they have to sell early and bring forward those costs they are fucked.

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
The powers that be have never forgiven Leicester for pissing, just once, on their fireworks.

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Sullivan must be loving watching us realise he was right and we have to avoid big expenditures on transfers and wages due to FFP...

Re: 4 point deduction for Notts Forest
Everton deducted 2 points for a second offence

Surely should an increase on the 6 for serial cheats
12 points would feel about right
