Although I think they'll be on a real slump now for the rest of the season, they could easily get sucked into a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Think 9 points is fine. 3 points and then rest suspended would've been mick take. Also a warning to us to get our books in order in the summer as it's hard enough for us to be promoted starting from 0 points in August. They are on a slump and have West Brom away and Leeds and Sheffield United at home as next three....I do expect them to stay up though. But hey if there's any excuse to get the relegation point-o-meter going again with @bobzy I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 No summer embargo so that's a huge result for them actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Farcical as expected. Teams will spend big in hope of challenging playoffs If fail sure its only 9 points that season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yep most teams will risk a nine point penalty, especially with no further restrictions. Pretty pathetic really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So once you've taken your fine/points deduction does a new 3-year cycle begin where you can presumably spend what you like again or are accounts checked every year taking into account the previous 2 years each time? I really hope we dont get deducted points, and we have been seen to been making attempts to get things in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) @VillaChris, just check out this run of fixtures: West Brom (A) Leeds (H) Sheff Utd (H) Ipswich (A) Derby (H) Rotherham (A) Wigan (H) Reading (A) Nobody there is playing for nothing - all are either promotion, playoff hopefuls or fighting relegation. Shame that the deduction isn't 12 points and I feel a 5 point buffer now will be enough but that's a horrible end to a season. I don't think they're quite as **** as Bournemouth though Edit: Just checked Rotherham's fixtures. Yeah, they're going down. Blues are safe.

This is the main bit really. 9 points is a pretty hefty deduction if you're still in a 3-year cycle. Teams won't risk 9 points to get a further punishment (likely to be more severe?) the next season. However, if the cycle starts fresh again then... yeah, everyone will be at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted March 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) So if that's the punishment for not only exceeding spending limits but sticking two fingers up when given a sanction, then getting the all clear to do it again, then it's not really going to do an awful lot!
