@domalino said the clubs agreed to leave the question of points deduction open, but as yet, has not provided a reference. No matter, let us assume that he is correct.
”Leave the question open” is not the same as “The PL will introduce new sanctions unilaterally “ and rather suggests that the impression was given that the PL would come back with a proposal at some stage, but they appear to have introduced points deductions without further consultation. Chelsea certainly assumed that they would just get a fine. Further the points regime seems to be undefined.
Clearly this is incompetence or mala fides by the PL and a bit stupid by the clubs not to insist on consultation on the regime.
@domalino do you know if the clubs agreed to the regime as introduced?
