sne Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Then again Luton spent a total of €25m on transfer before this season. Sheff U spent €60m but sold for €30m. Norwich had a net spend of about €30m the season the got relegated, similar as Watford. For a smaller club or a newly promoted one £20m can be a lot of money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 So FFP proves toothless again. It seems that as long as you can afford to hire a team of KC's those point deductions will just melt away. Manchester City can breathe easier again, although I doubt they were worried in any case. I wonder if there will be any deduction for Everton and Forest, or will this ruling put them off facing any point deduction being appealed and reduced? Farcical again.

est1874 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) The cynic in me says the only reason they would back down so easily and reduce Everton's points deduction is to cause less furore when they fail to come down heavily in punishing Man Citeh. As we all know they most likely will fail to do so. Edited February 26 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 As for Everton, if they’re found guilty of the second breach then they should be docked a further 6 points, making them worse off than before - maybe they should’ve just asked to remain at 10 for both breaches? I wonder how Leicester, Southampton and Leeds feel about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be 6 points for the second breach, downgraded to 4 points on appeal. So basically 10 points deduction overall after both appeals are done and dusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The 2nd points deduction should be another minus 6 and another minus 4 for reoccurring rule braking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
