What was the point in giving them a 12 point deduction when the fa goes and halves it? They obviously knew they were going take some off when they signed loads of players on deadline day. No way would they had joined if the 12 points were staying in place. Stinks of corruption which is funny as the 12 points were given for bring corrupt.

Only saviour being that the owners said they'd pay the £17m fine personally without it going through the club's books. I assume that means that director loans are for operating losses and does not include any of this fine.
If it has played out that way and it wasnt spin then who cares? The owners messed up and they're paying it

Originally posted by Sleeping Giants View PostAre we the only club to get a penalty that actually stood?...and a bloody massive one at that. I seriously don't understand why we can't appeal a £40 Million penalty (with costs etc) when Sheff Weds get a 6 point penalty...it's absolutley ludicrous.
I suppose we had our own legal costs of £1m+.

Both the EFL and FA are corrupt and inconsistent in their dealings.

Yeah I get that and appreciate that the owners have done that, but the issue is that we are the ones that got a true punishment whilst Birmingham and Sheffield Weds got off lightly, never mind the blind eye turned for other clubs.

Our FFP fine was a backlash from Faurlingate with Paladini allegedly stalling the hearing right up to the last game of the season making a points deduction after we won promotion very hard. We pushed our luck with the authorities on that one but we got our promotion. The FFP fine was revenge!
