I’ll be checking the news hourly tomorrow. A 10 point deduction and I’ll be going to the pub on a Monday night! If those twats are deducted 10 points with zero chance of an appeal, I’ll be doing cartwheels round our garden tomorrow evening despite the dodgy knees and slightly fragile back. 👍 |

Was hoping for at least 6, but 4 will do. Suppose they lost another 2 points in injury time against Luton... Nottingham Forest have received a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules, dropping them into the relegation zone, one point from safety. An announcement from the Premier League is expected on Monday and Forest are likely to appeal. Guardian story |

What kind of message does this send out to teams like Luton ffs. We know you’ve cheated heavily but we will go easy on you? Fuck off world and fuck off greedy league

No need to appeal they can just get VAR involved as they love that don’t they? Oh wait a minute

I don’t see what is unsustainable about signing 42 players for a total of £250m when you can only make a 3 year loss of £61m (which they also think is unfair). It is just so unfair that they are being penalised for having a dodgy, allegedly, Greek billionaire throw hundreds of millions of pounds at them. The likes of Luton only have themselves to blame for not finding a cash cow themselves. All they want is a level playing field (with a say in any VAR decisions) 🙂

So Everton get an original 10 points, 4 above the benchmark, later reduced to 6, but the fat Greek gets 2 below the benchmark?

Four points is nothing as they may well be able to negotiate it down to two. As the final decision will be taken after the season ends then it will leave a precarious position for clubs at the bottom. Even the corrupt Premier League would not send say Luton down after giving Forest some points back. What would be the point of having rules if that happens? Mind you what was the point of VAR in the play off final if it was going to be ignored?

4?
Is that the lowest deduction ever incurred for this?
Why isn't it 10 like Everton got and then Twigs appeal like they did.
Does that mean the fat Greek is going to appeal too and have it halved.
Something stinks.

Mind you what was the point of VAR in the play off final if it was going to be ignored? I know the league rules say the final decision has to be before 5 days after the season ends, so in theory potentially after the last game, but Im pretty sure for this case they set a date in April where it had to be finally resolved. Theyre bound to appeal as there is no jeopardy for Forest in appealing. What they should say is any frivolous appeal ( ie theyre not offering up any extra evidence ) will incur a further 2 points |

And who said the Premier League isn't corrupted by dodgy money.
4 points, what a joke.

So hopefully if they appeal, the two points that were deducted from their punishment for "...mitigation and cooperation" will be reinstated and they'll end up with a six pointer. Won't be holding my breath though!

How daft is this .. " The league's rules state any appeals process should "conclude no later than and if possible some time before 24 May" - five days after the season finishes."
So in the 'final' game no one actually knows who's up or down ?

So in the 'final' game no one actually knows who's up or down ? Rank stupidity and opens themselves up for litigation, either from the guilty team, or from teams affected by their guilt. |

So in the 'final' game no one actually knows who's up or down ? Wouldn't be just them but Everton too presuming they appeal if theyre given more points off. Im still sure I read somewhere that the appeal process had to be finished by some time in April in Forests case though. |
