Such a shame - bring back Lampard, he nearly sorted the shambles out...

Not really...he did enough to shut you lot up but nothing more. His permanent signings were poor and he built everything around three players who were always going to leave.
A year on and you’d built on much firmer foundations. Like you we’ll be back...no idea when though. Until then we’ll just have to suck it up.
Tbf Rev...we pretty much just had to turn up to collect the points for about ten years from 2008, and we did ‘shut you up’ ...for a while...in 2019.
Didn’t do us much good...you’re certainly in the ascendency now...and deservedly so. A better run and managed club at the moment. Enjoy it while it lasts, you know, almost as well as us, how dramatically things can change. I hear Arsenal are after Bielsa.

So the EFL aren't going to appeal which means no points deduction, but if we still have to submit amended accounts for those 3 years surely it's a given we'll break FFP so a points deduction next season is likely, unless they've dropped the accounting thing as well?
The 3 years accounts still have to be resubmitted once amended to reflect the amortisation method they want us to use.
I'm resigned to breaking FFP and getting 12 points deducted.
Having said that, some wag online this morning said we'd found 30 odd million in an account that would see us breeze through FFP...... probably no more than meadow dressing abd I don't set much store by it.
We might get away with 6?
The interesting thing will be what happens when, under the new accounting policy, we retrospectively fail FFP, but in subsequent years remain in conformity? if we are for example presently (2021 year end 3 year rolling) in conformity with FFP but, on a restated basis, for example as at 2019 year end 3 year rolling, we were not, could they sanction us for being historically in breach when recalculated under their new requirements, despite currently being in conformity???
Might get worse. This is for 16, 17 and 18. Then there will be 17, 18, 19 and then 18 19 20 etc.......
Where's tricky and his inside man at the FA? It's all gone quiet over there
