Fuck knows what we're doing about PSR. If Murillo or MGW were leaving for big money I'd have expected some gossip about it by now, but there's been nothing.
-
The fact there's been no noise about the three players who would solve the problem suggests that the weekend story was correct and we're going to try to get by with a few smaller deals and (probably) try a better version of last year's argument.
Big mistake in my view. Just means we'll be waiting again until January for the charges to drop and then another few months for the intial hearing, even if they find in our favour. Might be just about acceptable if we have deals in place on 30th but not actually finalised as the league might agree we are compliant under those circumstances (based on our case last season).
-
If it's signed, then just get it done by the 30th. Why wait a few weeks. I can't see it.
On the smaller deals ... There's also been sod all news about those. We need to sell 4-5 players within 5 days. It's not happening.
I'm starting to think we've some "clever" accounting swindle going on that we think might rescue us.
-
I meant in a scenario where we'd agreed to sell, say, Worrall but he didn't agree personal terms with Sheffield United until a few days into July.
-
As far as I'm aware the rules are that you have to be compliant with PSR requirements by the submissions deadline date. If you are not, you are referred to the independent panel for appropriate censure.
This has not, as far as I know, changed. Barring some creative accounting we will be in exactly the position that we were in last season. The outcome may be different (better or worse), who knows?
-
Even as a partisan Forest fan my response to that is - why didn't you just sort it out a few days earlier - appeal denied. Idiots.
(I realise it's not 'your' opinion, I'm just discussing it).
-
The full verdict on our initial case made it clear that there were circumstances where they'd have listened to our Brennan mitigation. They didn't take it seriously because we rejected offers that were before the deadline and EM only agreed to sell on (I think) August 28th, after he'd played three games.
But, I agree, we're playing with fire and creating unnecessary uncertainty around next season if we're not compliant by the end of the financial year.
-
Yes, we quoted precedent in cases that had happened just over the deadline (i.e. a day or two) and the appeal panel said they were different precisely because the intent to get things done before the deadline was clear.
It all seems academic, however, as we don't appear to have anything ready to go. It seems almost perversely incompetent.

This ^
-
It's worse than that as we appear to be helping bail out Villa by signing a player who wasn't exceptional in league one without getting anything in return.
They must have something in hand. They must. Surely?
-
I think so. We aren't the most savvy in the league by any stretch, but even we can't be this incompetent; especially given the situation last year.
-
I really really cannot be bothered with another season of points deductions and uncertainty. It’s draining and unenjoyable.
-
Suggestions Nuno really isn't happy with it either.
Saw a post that said he'd presented a 550-point report to the club about the way forward... -
550 points? Surely that would be harsh even for a second offence.
-
That’s kinda my position too although it’s also easy to see how a rival could take advantage of our situation by not even being willing to talk until July.
