Forest docked 4 points

[I'm With Stupid]

I agree, Gordon. Points should never be docked for non-sporting reasons. It should be reserved for things like fielding ineligible players. This docking points because they don't have as much revenue as other clubs is undermining the integrity of the competition.

Yep, if you're going to have this sort of bullshit, implement it at the stage where they have to register players. Can't register any more until you've balanced the books like they do in Spain. Relegation being decided by a bunch of suits is just wrong.

Well ask Aston Villa fans if they're enjoying this season, or Brighton, or West Ham last season.

FFP rules aren't perfect, but I'm not going to shed tears for fans and clubs and owners who were 100% in favour of them when it helped them and now want them gone when it holds them back.

Also this obsession with debt is really weird, it only exists on bluemoon. Spend 5 seconds thinking about it and you'll realise that having a mortgage doesn't mean you're less financially secure than a renter. The important aspects of debt (like interest payments) have always been part of the FFP calculation.

They changed the rules to stop owners spending money so why not one for debt or debt at a ridiculous amount! They could have 300m max debt and has to be paid up within 10 years!

You see rules can be changed but seems the only rules they want to change is the ones that hold back clubs who have very rich owners who want to reach the top!

Yeah that would be great, and no club in the world would ever be able to build or expand a stadium again!!!

Like I said...someone with a mortgage is not less secure than a renter just because they have more debt.

And again, like I already said, debt is punished by FFP. The £900m United have paid to service their debt was counted as losses for FFP just as much as spending £900m on players would have.

Debt is a monumental red herring in the FFP conversation, it's never mattered except to City fans who see United having debt and think they're not getting punished enough.

Play your games, collect your points then we'll decide who's winning and who's losing.

I don't understand how debt can keep on rising if clubs are sticking to the rules

but the same fans more villa newcastle and wolves are reading they need sell homegrown players to stay within PSR next season instead of investing money and moving forward even united and arsenal must be close to limit as arsenal loaned a keeper instead of buying on this seasons accounts

utd haven't invested in their facilities for years. They've spent £billions on players and wages. And their debt is rising year on year.

 

[I'm Blue]

They're as thick as fuck and it's why I have zero sympathy with the crying cunts, none of them. Our case has fuck all to do with anybody else. Trust me if we're found guilty they'll all be celebrating so they can cry some more.

I’ve said it before on here.
When we’re cleared, I hope we turn the PL into a real farmers league.
Get rid of the team coach and turn up on tractors : )
Fuck em all!!

Stick to fucking cricket

Intrigued by it but not enough to do a ten second google search which would give him the answer. Whopper of a man
