I'd be a bit worried if I was Man City fan given the charges against them and the fact that action has finally been taken for this shit.

 

It seems the points is partly due to them trying to cook the books and mislead the investigation. If Man City have been up front and honest they'll probably get a fine, like Chelsea. However, in the interest of fairness they should also be deduction 1170 points.

Dipper at work already kicking off about City

They also never sued filthy Gylfi after he allegedly molested a bairn, despite given legal assurances they could have a case against him. They wanted to be given credit by the commission for NOT suing an alleged paedo

Call me cynical but I remember when Spurs were deducted 12 points for tax irregularities and the first thing I said was that they'll win the appeal. They did. 

[NJS 4383]

Expert on SSN reckons they'll use covid as an argument on appeal - I thought they'd used covid as an excuse for the losses in the first place.

Aye but I think the losses are pre-covid

They’ll still stay up.

They lost £125m over three years. £125 fucking million

They can go on and on and on about it only being £20m over the threshold. But losing that kind of money (I believe more than 3 times that of any other club over the same period) is heading straight towards administration anyways. Absolutely nuts.

You would have thought they’d have played all their mitigation cards already tbh.

 

Seems daft they’ve held any defence back, Winter says they’re blaming the war in Ukraine for loss of naming rights (£200 mill) 😂

The points deduction should be final. You can’t undock points like they did in Italy last year. It messes with teams planning and strategy.

Leeds, Forest, Burnley, Leicester and Southampton all eligible for compensation from Everton too - that will fuck them harder and dryer than the 10 points.

It’s like a competitive eating contest in the replies… so many chomps.

Dock the cunts another 10 for the flares and fireworks.

 

There’s two ways of interpreting that tweet, I’m going with Dyche and the players regretting signing for them.

I think they will too

[Ayatollah Hermione 13866]

Burnley being below a team that’s just been docked 10 points after 12 league games is an embarrassment. Just relegate them now.

 

Also, hope this means we can get Branthwaite on the cheap

Scouse Mackems deducted 10 points due to something that had the square root of fuck all to do with NUFC.

Aye, but what does Gemmill think, could be crucial.

I wonder what they'd say if a more ordinary thinking Durham mackem (they tend to be more normal than the wearsiders) were to point out that we've only spent the money Ashley didn't spend so far. "Check his bank statements, marra. He's definitely a mag season ticket holder, him"

Was going to say earlier - I wonder how long it’ll take for them to make this about us? A matter of nanoseconds apparently  

Yet again they invent some injustice involving us and then proceed to wind themselves up about it

Appropriately, given how medieval the place is, it’s a bit like the dancing plague that happened in France, stress-induced mass hysteria, except instead of dancing, it’s sitting in their Mam’s attics bashing a keyboard whilst frothing at the mouth.
