Interesting bit about Sheff Wed. Sold their ground in 2020. 3 weeks after the reporting deadline. They were allowed mitigating circumstances because of it. We said the Johnson sale should be similar.

By my reading that's what the premier league asked for. I'm not sure quoting treatment of Reading in our appeal for a lower punishment was much of a strategy - their previous suspended punishment has hardly kept them on the straight and narrow.
On Everton's second punishment, it depends how much weight their commission puts on the EFL's double jeopardy rules because all three verdicts that i've read lean very heavily on "them's the rules" and whatever precedent they can find. If they stick to the rules and point out the clubs could have created an exception if they wanted (which is all over all three rulings), they could easily get another 6.

Not if they are being kept in custody they aint.

If we can't finish 5 points better than Luton we don't deserve it anyway. Do-able if we can win two home games. We're capable of that but it won't be easy.
-
That's not the target is it though? We only have to pick up one point more than Luton over nine games.

"The extent to which the PSR Threshold has been exceeded in absolute terms, regardless of its level in a particular case, will always have a correlation with the (improper) sporting advantage that has been gained. The starting point when considering sanction, and before mitigation, must therefore be higher than the six points imposed on Everton"

Section 14.2? That's the premier league's case, not the commission's view.
-
How they calculated ours
-
If we projected our finances based on finishing 12th last season, what did they project for this season? Champions league?
-
3+3-2? We're gonna need the Numberblocks out to sort this tricky one.
-
This to me is also utter bollocks.
If the threshold was the same for each team they may have a point.
But our threshold was 44m less than nearly all the teams we are competing with (and less than all of them).
So we are at a sporting disadvantage before we start.
Which again is absolutely the point isn't it.

Punchier statement from the club than I was expecting: www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2024/march/18/club-statement/
Appeal on the way, it sounds like.
-
I like it. Careful to bear no grudge to the commission itself and throw ten tons of shit at the Premier League.
-
I realise that we have basically zero weight in the argument, but that's a good statement. The Premier League are the (main) villains in this.
