Another 6 point, points deduction incoming

[Norfolk Royal]

So if we could have shifted Ejaria, Puscas, Moore, even one of them maybe, we could have been compliant? Difficult not to draw that conclusion.

Been teetering on the brink of relegation in 5 of the last 6 seasons, why should this year be any different? it will certainly make the next 7 games interesting.
Lets see if they have the balls for a survival scrap.

WARNING.
Stay away from twitter today, it`s a fucking minefield.

Having read Bowen's statement - I do think the EFL need to reconsider the rules involved with the transfer embargo. Not being able to pick up a youngster for a few hundred K, but being able to offer Andy Carroll a contract is pretty ridiculous. There needs to be a bit more flexibility.

One day the whole FFP protection racket for the relegated PL Clubs will be taken down. Unfortunately it is too late for the fans and employees of the club.

Last season also comes into play I guess as business plan drawn up in November 21.

We could certainly have got money for Swift last Jan, maybe Laurent and Rino too....

Well it’s a very comprehensive statement by Bowen at least

Guess we’ll never know what the targets for player sales were, whether they were realistic or whether did anywhere near enough y to meet them

[windermereROYAL]

Very impressive statement from Bowen, the club have spoken, that`s all we asked.

Yes, excellent article and feel a bit better - and it reads like the committee rejected the asset sale idea anyway and that lack of player sales led soley to the breach.

Logged off it....i really hope this lot get behind the players/management on Friday - we really need the support of all now.

[Stranded]

Yes, not happy with the situation but I think that is a strong statement. As he says though, actions speak louder than words.

[The Royal Forester]

Well confirmed but still not clear exactly what we did wrong. Proper fcuking annoying weve had so many restrictions and still managed to break the plan.

Club statement kind of suggests they think they’ve done everything reasonable to stick by the plan

At least it is the end of it this summer. What a painful few years

Reading Mark Bowen's and the club's statements, it seems to me we got this 6 points docked for not selling any/enough players. It seems that we agreed to sell some players within the "business plan", but were not able to. How the EFL expected us to sell crooked (Moore) or players not up to the required standard (insert your favourite names here). After all any player can refuse to move and is entitled to stay where he is overpaid and not go to a club which will pay him less.

One word : Puscas.

We were banking on selling him.

We didn't sell him.

End of.

But still, -6 last year and -6 this year is much better than the alternative, which would have been -12 last year in one go and definite relegation.

Hadn't realised - the last two fixtures are Wigan and Huddersfield

That last point is the only positive - the decision we reached with the EFL saved us last year and despite the new deduction means we still have our survival in our own hands this. Without it, we would be down in League 1 already whereas we only may be.

[Stranded]

From reading the full finding - it looks like we are selling a club "investment" to Dai not anything tangible as the latter would break the rules but selling an investment is currently allowed.

We may have been banking on selling Puscas, but could (maybe he did) refuse to leave for a lower wage though.
We didn't sell him.

That's a terrific letter from Bowen, very open and honest.

^ this. Certainly felt more positive after reading it. Back the boys now innit.

[Winston Biscuit]

So had Pisa won the Serie B play off final last year (as they had a clause to buy Puscas) we may well have not got this points deduction?
