    TigerTedd got a reaction from Tamworthram in Points Deduction, Who's Next And When Will It Stop?   
    And what sort of deterrent is minus 2? They’ll make that up in the first game. That’s just equivalent to any game where they stupidly let in an equaliser in the last minute. We effectively got a minus two punishment in our last game for the crime of being a bit crap. 
    They secured promotion and the riches that comes with through their breaches. It’s like saying they’re going to deter diving by handing out yellow cards, and then that becomes a slap on the wrist.
    send them off, you’ll soon see it stop. And demote teams that break the rules, you’ll soon see it stop.
    (although that is a bit like advocating the death penalty for shoplifting. Maybe I’m a tyrant. I hope not.)

    Or put it another way, and they have a lot of high pressure 6 pointers. All those clubs will be targeting Forest as 6pts they need to get. If they loose all those games, they’re screwed.

    The backstop date for Forest's appeal hearing is apparently May 24th but it's rumoured that the PL are to try to resolve this prior to season end. I've been trying to find the articles suggesting that Forest's belief that they had nothing to lose with what I view as a spurious appeal, is potentially a serious misunderstanding of the process and the link below is the the one I managed to find again.
    In a further twist, that really ought to set alarm bells ringing, the PL have stated that they retain the right to force a single arbitrator to make a final call should the appeal not go the way they would like. Bear in mind the 8 point penalty they originally sought. Perhaps I'm reading too much into that statement, but it suggests to me that they want to see the penalty increased and will challenge the appeal outcome if additional points are not deducted.
    I'm not sure who is advising the fat fella, but I think Forest appealing what was IMO,  a ludicrously generous outcome given the size of their overspend and the underhand way they went about masking it, was essentially an act of flagrant self-harm, akin to accidentally shooting themselves in the foot, then shooting the other one too so they have a matching pair.

    My biggest take from that is that EFL costs to come to this decision is in excess of £300k.  I take it all the tea and biscuits came from a very decent farm shop, and not off the shelf at Morrisons!  😲

    Break the bank for a great striker and all they need to do is snatch you a last gasp winner and two last gasp equalizers (ie turn a draw into a win and two losses into draws) and the 4pts were worth it.

    Seen a couple of articles online suggesting that their appeal is likely to backfire. Their original deduction was reduced from 6 points to 4 on the basis of 'full cooperation' and rather idiotically, they've now thrown any goodwill under the bus. With the PL originally having sought an 8 point deduction, it might well be that that is precisely what Forest end up with, only this time, with no right to appeal.

    13 games without a win and 8 points deducted or almost another 3 straight defeats on top and 16 games without a win in real money. Almost half a season and still not in the relegation zone.  The bottom of that league really is bobbins this season.

    Listing the stadium as an  asset of community value (ACV) isn't perfect (as we found out when MM sold the stadium to himself!) but it is a safeguard for the future.
    We are very pleased that the Club has supported our application. 
    We are in good hands with our current owner (but we might not always be!)

    A sifficiently bad performance tomorrow and forest could put themselves back into the relegation zone. But have they got the gumption to lose to spurs by 7 goals or more?

    The "luxury tax" concept (borrowed from American sports I guess?) surely only works in a salary cap league?
    Okay, the current regs aren't great but a system where those rich enough just buy off any problems seems idiotic. I expect it to rubber stamped immediately.....

    I kind of want Leicester to go up now. Start with a 10pt deduction and have to sell a load of players with no chance to buy. They might have half a chance of beating our record then.

    I wasn’t sure if I could possibly say anything comforting here. But also couldn’t just leave it with a like on your post. I’ve been thinking about you over Easter, and have everything crossed for your second scan.
    Whatever the outcome though, it sounds like there’s some hard decisions to come.
    Life absolutely sucks sometimes. But at some point in the future, could be a year, could be 5 years, could be ten years, you’ll be happy, and you’ll look back and wonder how the hell you got through this. But you did. And whatever has happened, all the good, and the bad, has got you to that point of being happy, whatever that looks like. it might seem like a long way off, but it’s there waiting for you. 
    always remember “this too shall pass.”
