HanoiVillan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Their squad building . . . they have 4 senior goalkeepers. What exactly did the guy they hired in January do today that any of the other three wouldn't have been able to do? I'm not saying the 4 they conceded were his fault, exactly, although maybe a case to answer for the 4th, but it's not like he's some fearsome obstacle is it? They also spent all of January chasing Chuba Akpom. Which part of today's performance would he have improved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 4 points doesn't seem like much on the face of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Guess Forest will appeal but you'd like to think 4 points is OK? Think they will have enough to stop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Must have been a smaller rule break than Everton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Everton 10 points reduced to 6 on appeal. Forest 4 points......appeal incoming maybe? It seems to me they just make up the punishments up as they go along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I think they have accepted it and won't appeal. That's what I've been told anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defence was laughable but I would assume that with most things you have nothing to lose by appealing. Worst case it remains as four points.

OutByEaster? Posted March 18 Moderator Share Posted March 18 it's an interesting one, four points put them right in the mix for relegation, albeit their fixtures are pretty kind, but with an appeal, if it's close, any reduction in four could be enough to relegate another team and that just wouldn't sit right with me - imagine Luton going down on the last day because Forest got a point back a few days before. With Everton's second punishment to soon be announced it could be carnage down at the bottom come the final week of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've been told anyway. according to JP they are considering an appeal. With it only being 4 points i'd say they'd be foolish to do so. Whats the best they could get, 1 maybe 2 points reduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Right then. NSWE to blow 750 million this summer, we win the league with 107 points, take the 6 points, result? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 You can’t seriously spend £250m on 42 players as a promoted club and then cry foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 4 points is so soft. Hardly a punishment that will deter other teams from doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Let them appeal and dock it to six or more. Make an example. It’s actually laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 If they appeal 4 points then i hope the punishment is increased. There has to be some acceptance somewhere without endless appeals. Its a pathetic punishment anyway, just move on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
