    Oh yes. I'm talking pre-decimalisation Andersons. Or Andersons BM (Before Marinakis).

    The reports are worth reading!
    Part of Forest's defence was "it's not as bad as saying: 'The ref is bent, retweet if you agree'."

    That is a fucking massive fine. It would seem a lack of remorse hasn't helped us, and we didn't take the tweet down, but it does feel harsh, particularly in the light of the review which suggests we should have at least one penalty.

    I also like...
    "The ‘apology’ [although the word was never used by NFFC at any stage in correspondence] was in effect a damage-limitation exercise undertaken by NFFC, in our
    judgment, in the forlorn hope of avoiding subsequent proceedings."

    If I was Mr M I would see it as £750k well spent just to piss them off.

    Hopefully my understanding is correct and it doesn't count towards the FFP calculation

    I can see, from a football governance point of view, why extremely draconian punishments should be levied against anyone calling into question the integrity of the game. Especially where they, and we certainly do, have form.

    It would just help if things weren't so bent, and were a little bit more demonstrably competent.

    Those that run the game want to defend their rigged spanish ballet against rigged greek bullying. I imagine.

    Can't be deleting tweets with that kind of engagement.

    I wonder if the 8 year old who tweeted it will have to pay the fine out of his pocket money?

    I don't know but my main takeaway from that STATEMENT! is that we've entered into some sort of commercial partnership with Swizzels the sherbert and sweets people so maybe the two things are related.

    EM is certainly pumping in coin to sit at the top table. It like giving the cool kids your dinner money.

    Fuck the Premier League, It's Bent as fuck. Man Utd lose 300 million and not a mention of punishment. Citeh won't get shit even though they are taking the piss. Don't get me started on Evergone and Fester. The refs are shit and we generally get fucked by VAR. It's a rigged game and sooner or later it's going to blow up in their face if more clubs join the big Greek in bombing the premier league cookie stores. He's got the money. I suspect he is going to stick his fingers up. Clubs have been fined less by Eufa for racist behaviour by certain clubs or their fans. We have a right to tell the F.A. that they are cunts as far as I can see. Especially when they are demonstratively biased.

    I say keep pushing back by essentially saying, "fuck around and find out". We might. it would be hilarious if we did.

    What a joke this F.A. is...

    Of course, the FA could have had really tidy evidence that the bloke wasn't biased if he had given even one of the decisions our way

    But you put that in your report to the FA/EPL/PGMOL after the match (which is somehow leaked to the press), not in the twatter rantings of an angry toddler at the final whistle (after having to stop them from sending it at half-time), before trying to claim you were just trying to start a legitimate discussion.

    Oh stop being such an adult. This is football and therefore we are entitled to throw the toys out of the pram (especially if you are the big six).

    If fans criticise the club on twitter they ban you from the ground, so it's a bit rich to complain about this. Classic playground bully in charge.
