The hearing starts Autumn 2024 and is expected to last 6 months. The verdict is expected by summer 2025. They can then appeal which is expected to conclude by mid-way through the 2025/26 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that time they'll probably get a parking fine for all that they have done.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 20 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20 (edited) An interesting graphic… I think we’ll win at least 5 of those… not to mention Spurs lost to Fulham and we drew with Spam.

Tbf I’d probably rather play mid table teams than ones fighting relegation at this stage of the season. Although Burnley and Sheffield United most likely reheated by the time Spurs play them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Don't think there are that many mid table teams this year. There's 8 European spots if the coefficients work well that takes us down to Bournemouth in 13th 7 points behind current 8 th place. Then maybe palace are not quite clear of relegation on 29 points so maybe them. Everybody else is in the relegation scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 20 Moderator Share Posted March 20 I reckon three wins and two draws would probably be enough to keep us clear of United. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Spurs are our main rival for 4/5th in my opinion. I still think we’ll get 4th though, but nice to likely have that fall back of 5th for CL fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even giving ‘that other team’ the satisfaction of mentioning them I feel the most important part of our respective runs is the stint where Spurs play Newcastle, City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. They could quite conceivably lose four games on the bounce and it really wouldn't be that much of a shock. We need to get as much of a buffer in place as possible during that period and ahead of their last two fixtures as anything other than 6 points in those last two would be highly unusual.

OutByEaster? Posted March 20 Moderator Share Posted March 20 To an extent, we're almost at the point where Spurs don't matter - a good week in Europe for English teams in April and 4th or 5th is largely unimportant in terms of the prize that's on offer. If United win their game in hand, they're six points behind us and still a real threat - our fun of fixtures is really tough and I think we'll need eleven points from them - this could yet go all the way to the last day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
