Red Dogs deducted 4 points

... for financial irregularities. Far too little but it puts them where they belong.

Sadly too little, hopefully 10 for Everton and demotion for the blue manks next year

All seems a little random. Everton 10…oops sorry 6, Forest 4…Derby 21! Is it remotely fair…I don’t know…and what about Man. City?

Punishments are based on the breech.
Being honest with the books, co operating with the investigation and not trying to cover up your shenanigans, helps.

Appeal to follow, I'd expect that knocked down to 2.

Still City, will have some explaining to do in 2055 ish

Like Man. City you mean.

i do. Man United massively in debt/ Chelsea spend 1.2 billion in two seasons/ City ducking and diving for years.
Yet Newscastle/West Ham and others have had to sell players to avoid the trap?

If all this is about stopping clubs getting into trouble, well it seems very selective and lob sided.

I see this "yeah, but, Man Citeh" all over social media. Look at the Everton and Red Dog time line between charge and outcome. Both on just the one charge. Citeh are facing ONE HUNDRED AND FIFT EEN charges and they have a battery of lawyers sponsored by a nation's rulers to keep putting spokes in their wheels.

The Citeh case is taking a long time. Too long in most people's estimation BUT the sheer number of charges allied to oil money mean it's not going to get done quickly.

I have, and you'll find this hard to believe knowing my feelings towards MUFC, some sympathy with their level of debt. Their debt is at that level because the Glazers spent around a billion of borrowed money in order to be able to buy the shares and then, once they owned the club, they moved the debt to MUFC. All legal and above board. The same thing happened when Liverpool were bought by Fenway. Both have enough income to service the debt and are reducing it. Not by much each year but a reduction is a reduction.

Conversely, Real and Barca are both in serious debt of around a billion because they spent way too much on transfer fees and player's wages. No sympathy for the sanctions Barca are under and it wouldn't surprise me to see Real get sanctioned soon.

As ever, it's context. Citeh are the English Barca.

4 more numbers in one post rA, that's risky! Next you'll be expecting me to be giving to Middle Eastern refugee charities 😄

Bugger the 4 points, I’ve just died and gone to Heaven, Clive Marie has just called them NOTTS Forest on the ten o’clock news. There’ll be a red meltdown going on…
