There have been various number thrown around from various places about how many points deduction there might be for any FFP infringements. None of those reports have been OFFICIAL reports from either the EFL or DCFC. THESE WILL BE OVER AND ABOVE the 12 points deducted for entering Administration. 9 points has been bandied about in the press which would make it 21 in total. Mel, in his infamous Radio Derby interview said 4 points which make 16 in total. Today the appeal has been adjourned according to news sources and those same sources have mentioned a 3 point deduction for FFP infringements making 15 in total. I hope that makes it all clear to you as you seem to be under the misaprehension that I have said we'll end up with less than 12 in total. I HAVEN"T.

Which part of QUOTE If accepting the 12 in return for "only an extra 3" means getting a sale completed UNQUOTE. When I went to school 12 + 3 was 15. leads you to believe I was claiming we'd end up with a total 3 point penalty when it should be quite clear from what I wrote (the word EXTRA being a huge clue) that I was saying 12 + 3?

I even wrote in the bit you quoted that QUOTE When I went to school 12 + 3 was 15. The 12 being for Administration and 3 for FFP. UNQUOTE

BTW - I wasn't saying anything, merely reporting what was in the press and saying that IF there has been a compromise and we get the full 12 for Admin plus only an extra 3 FFP for not going further with our appeal then that would be good.

Reading? At the moment they have had ZERO points deducted............... How much did they exceed FFP by? I don't know. Do you? How much has DCFC exceeded FFP by? I don't know. Do you?
But i said that ?

Administration= 12 points. agreed y/n?

FFP, it was said by sky sports in September via EFL, that nine points was the proposed punishment. 3 suspended pending infringements.
Sheff Weds, were going to be given 12 points but this was reduced to 6 by arbitration, but still applied last season. Ultimately it didn't save them,
DCFC escaped that season unpunished, to the disgust of Wycombe.
What i do know about Reading, was that it was a similar situation with a dodgy stadium sale, as they knew they were sailing close to the wind.
Of course they haven't been docked yet But they have been told to expect 9 points, or at very least 6.

My point is all about, breaching FFP and coming up with floating punishments, opens up all cans of worms.
Can you imagine Derb only getting 3 points/ Reading 9/ Sheff Weds 6? Throw Wycombe in that.

I really don't see how they can be lenient, when this has dragged on like this.
It's like going to court and pleading not guilty. Expect more time on the sentence.
