Might it be that the reported deal of 3 points for FFP breaches is in return for dropping our appeal?

If accepting the 12 in return for "only an extra 3" means getting a sale completed, to someone who is in it for the right reasons (and maybe a selfish one or two as well), before the January transfer window opens then I am all for it. Especially considering my view that the appeal is a non-starter as Mel had overspent by about £220M over 6 years prior to Covid. Covid was no ore than the last straw IMO.

Might it just be that this was the outcome the Admins were angling after when they launched the appeal? If so, great move lads.
If that brings an end to it...then I agree with you, bring it on and let’s move forward.
I really can’t see us avoiding relegation, but if that’s the price we have to pay for alleged mismanagement and we can start next season amongst the favourites for promotion from League One, with decent ‘straight’ ownership and a realistically ambitious manager I’ll settle for that right now.
Anything more would seem like an unlikely bonus.
