The_Steve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 If you excuse Johnson, they’ve only had about £20-30m in sales since they came up and spent £250m. The excuse to hold out for more money for Johnson simply doesn’t wash. I'm glad that was dismissed. But the punishment is far too light still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are daft if you have a window to buy and sell players then surely the window for showing your PSR figures should be at the end of any transfer window. June 30th seems wrong to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 4 points is hardly worth bothering with really… if it was (for example) Fulham they’d be 13th instead of 12th or Liverpool would be 3rd instead of 2nd. I therefore feel we should spend like hell and then just shrug off the inevitable 6 point deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 Supposedly an appeal wouldn't be settled until after the season ends. So they could potentially be relegated, but then win an appeal and stay up. (Or vice versa I guess if it got increased) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted March 18 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18 Well, the precedent is set, let’s break the **** bank and take the 6 points on the chin next year. We’ll still have Mbappe and Haaland the year after, when we can really challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 4 points is nothing. Should be 6 like Everton atleast. Mitagating circumstances yeh ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Mitigation was ‘we know we broke the rules but we wanted max profit on Brennan, honest’. Everton have every right to be mad about this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Forest should have a bigger punishment than Everton tbh. They well overspent as soon as they came up it was blatant and flagrant. Everton just had a unsustainable model and recruited poorly. I would be Seething if I was Everton at this news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Reading Forests statement I agree with pretty much everything that say on PSR. The rules are absurd. The cut off date being before the end of the window is ridiculous and just means clubs have to choose between getting less money now or breaching the rules to get more value later. That can’t be in the spirit of the rules. It’s also unarguable that these rules are harming mobility within the football pyramid. That being said, 4 points seems a fair reflection and does take into account their mitigating circumstances around Brennan Johnson. They’ll moan and appeal because it’s risk free to them as the appeals panel won’t increase the deduction for a frivolous appeal so in that way you the statement about how they feel “disappointed and dismayed” is largely for show. They would have thought given what happened to Everton this would be the outcome (4-6 points) and I’d think they fancy their chances of getting 1 point more than Luton over the next 10 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
