Leicester points deduction (5 Viewers)

[Skyblue Bangkok]

You can't just look at one player being sold at a massively overvalued price and say that's ok if the buying club wants to pay it. If the buying club then sells another massively overpriced player back to the selling club, would that become the subject of an anti money laundering investigation? I don't know but I suspect it could under certain circumstances.
There is a big purge going on ATM in football regarding money laundering.

They should get the City of London for that lol

It’s clearly an exploit. But you can’t attach an abitrary 3rd opinion as to whether teams have overpaid.

a player is worth what another team wishes to pay.

ultimately the only way I believe you can stop it is not amortising players value over the contract - if you buy a player for 20m it’s 20m on the balance sheet for that year. Even that I don’t think is possible

With less than a week left before the start of the season are the EFL going to announce a points deduction, or are those Leicester cheats going to escape punishment yet again?

I expect the EFL are more preoccupied with Lesta's opening day opponents

A strange, hateful few on here seemed happy at the idea of Sheff Weds going under.

Even if they do get punished, I can't see it being a significant deduction and would likely be halved on appeal anyway.

Possibly, but they have had enough time to deal with the Leicester situation.

I think it’s probably more towards the hateful behaviour we experienced from their fans in recent times with the racism and then also their player completely injuring one of ours

Their fans displayed very tasteless behaviour

Would you care this much if it was QPR or Hull?

Absolutely, anyone found breaking FFP should be punished (Man City, Wolves, Villa etc) rules are in place for a reason.

Takes a lot of time to write an apology letter and award them the title now as compensation.

You reap what you sew. They were an absolute disgrace when we played them and we weren't the only side.

I always have sympathy for supporters in this situation. But there's only Leicester I have less sympathy for.

Leicester have taken the piss since the turn of the century. They deserve what they get.

Doesn’t really answer the question.

Disgrace if it’s not announced before Friday. Standard EFL.

Yeah, sound then, they should totally go under because a minute fraction of their fans are bell ends.

Absolute nonsense.

They shouldn’t go under but a decade scraping round the lower leagues like we had wouldn’t go amiss. Maybe teach them some humility.

We’re getting too close to reasonability seeing it that way though.

Doesn't answer what question?

Hull and QPR haven't broken or taken the piss out of the rules for 25 years. They have been stupid with their money. I have full sympathy with those who didn't have anything to do with what happened like the supporters.

I remember last season when people wanted us to spend like Hull. Those of us that disagreed were taken for idiots. It's easy for supporters to get carried away. We did many years ago which led to our downfall.

The two clubs mentioned were completely random, not because of high spending. The point is many only seem bothered because it’s a club we’re all apparently obliged to hate. If it was Middlesbrough or Swansea or Doncaster or Leyton Orient, there wouldn’t be so much noise.

With Leicester most people want to see justice. With Sheffield Wednesday it was because of their knuckle dragging racists and then how much their other supporters tried to defend it or say it didn't happen. Many even tried to say it was our players fault.

who made you the conscience of the board then???

Silly me not wanting them to go out of business, what a horrible person.

Bristol City broke the rules for years

Half the people on here want our owners to do the same. Everyone has morals and ethics until it comes to their own club.

They'll only go into admin anyway and someone will buy them at a knock down price. That's what should have happened to us , but good ole SISU got that smirking fucker, Appleton, as Administrator and used him to buy us back with a different name.
Those northen fuckers were happy to stand back and let it happen, along with several other sides, especially look on the Scumderland boards, even the twats who were chanting 'we want SISU in' so yeah fuck 'em all!!
I'll have my own opinions thank you

If that’s Karma, then I guess it explains our 15 years of absolute misery.

Serves me right for supporting a club that has a handful of bellends in its fanbase

Not me. I'm old school. Do it the right way.

Which northern fuckers were happy to stand back and let it happen ? Too many sweeping generalisations in this outpouring of hatred.

 

[robbiethemole]

I know you live in Sheffield Chris, but you can't have forgotten Utd's reaction to it all, and Sunderland is the NE, but I'm from Rugby and everywhere above Derby is North !!! hahaha

I reserve the right to dislike Sheffield United intensely !
