Demitri_C Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 How does it make sense that there embargo is lifted as wlel with the existing debt?? Its a absolute j OKe. We don't have nothing to fear with ffp after this pathetic punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 This doesn’t add a great deal more to the subject but it gives a reasonable overview*. Interesting to see that Kieran Maguire thinks that the Pedersen signing was the catalyst for this but the official line is that it wasn’t an aggravating factor. They do seem to be of the opinion the deduction has been deliberately chosen to be a fairly stern deterrent but with also the smallest impact as possible (e.g. not a strong likelihood of a real relegation battle). *If you’re not distracted by the host’s luscious locks of course.

We won't get worse than 9 points deduction I'd imagine between 4-6 at worst. I'd rather take the hit as next year having them two we can walk the league under Smith. Knuckledraggers I've seen on social media think THEY are going to walk the league next year, as they've got off lightly. That's what mass lobotomies does for a community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough points deducted to pretty much ensure they stay up, done at a time of the season when they could basically work that out. Exactly this. The FFP thing is a joke the way its enforced. Without being an accountant it is hard to state a system that would work but the current one is a nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F it spend the 900 million for Messi ronaldo mbappe win the league with 125 points and take the -30 hit! Also the slate is wiped clean for blues now? What a crock. They can just do the same again and continue to circle the plug like a turd that won't flush. Isn't that what they are? A turd that just won't flush? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 They could have at least passed it over to next season. They've broke all the leagues financial rules and had the slate wiped clean, and the only difference is they'll have a lower mid table finish instead of mid table. Pathetic. .

ciggiesnbeer Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I am happy the deduction was so low. FFP is failed experiment and everyone knows it. I credit the EFL for acknowledging that but they should just do away with the whole thing, Now Blues SHOULD be punished severely for creating a dangerous environment for Jack , but thats a different matter.

jjaacckk91 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Quote Financial issues and Championship football clubs beginning with 'B' appear to go hand-in-hand. Take Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers - two of English football's historical giants. Famous old north-west clubs and founding members of the Football League with 10 FA Cups between them. Yet in recent days, one faced a winding up orderand the other posted record losses just a few years after both lost their places among the Premier League elite. And then there is Birmingham City, who on Friday were deducted nine points for a breach of profitability and sustainability rules...(cont) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47691385 This cracked me up, thought it might give some of you a chuckle too.

Demitri_C Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I don’t know who to cheer for Friday night. On one hand I think we can still get 4th but on other be hilarious if blose went down. Draw I think I’d be happy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see virtually zero chance of us overhauling the team in fourth, which has a ten point lead and only eighteen available. I see a very, very slim chance of the filth being overhauled by four of the five teams below them (I discount Ipswich, they are mathematically gone in two or three games). We are talking about gnat's pube differences in likelihood between what position we go in to the playoff, if we make it, compared to whether the filth go down but it is a no-brainer.

VillaJ100 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I predict another 'great escape' on the last day of the season staying up by either 1 point or 1 goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goal difference with a points deduction is an interesting one. As they got deducted 9 points but kept their goal difference it's like an extra point so in essence an 8 point deduction. Surely it should be 9 points and minus 9 goals to at least give the teams below a fighting chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 They are not going down. The efl played this smart they wanted until Blose couldn't go up before taking the points off them saving any long winded legal complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
