RoyMac5 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Quote The appeal is specific to the second charge only, which considered the Club’s policy regarding the amortisation of intangible assets. There will be no further comment at this time. Well I guess we got told off for that one already. I imagine they're hoping to fine us enough to pay their lawyers bill! #bar stewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Does the second charge carry a lesser punishment if found guilty? Maybe the EFL waited until we had £11m in the bank. £11m fine anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Duck the efl deliberately trying to screw us up. Mel get that pl2 sorted and abolish the efl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m not entirely surprised by that even though it was weird that that potential issue came out of the blue. the IDC trashed the evidence of the EFl expert witness on the valuation. the amoritisation issue was less clear cut.

Day Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 We all knew this was coming, honestly wouldn't surprise me if we was now found guilty but a slap on the wrist as Birmingham was. They just need that mini victory to fist bump each other over at the Christmas party. Such a pathetic organisation, seriously pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the EFL waited until we had £11m in the bank. £11m fine anyone? So based on my understanding of the report released by the independant board was that they DID determine that our policy was not explained clearly enough. They also said that after it was explained with further clarity during the process of the hearing, both the independent board and the EFL (unless I misinterpreted) accepted it (the policy concept) didn't breach the rules. However - the lack of clarity in itself was a breach of a rule - so the EFL might simply be seeking some actual punishment for that lack of clarity; as the independent board merely acknowledged it broke a ruling on clarity but didn't punish us for it. That would be my guess; anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Their case was an absolute shambles, the independent panel ruled that we had done absolutely nothing wrong on both counts, the only reason they could be appealing is to disrupt our signings. I cant put into words how angry I am with this, absolute shambles. If this has put us back into a soft embargo we are absolute screwed. Although I'm sure Mel wouldnt be too disappointed having a reason to not spend any cash ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Can't see how an embargo is enforceable in this scenario. If they try I hope Mel absolutely hammers them to pieces with actual legal action instead of this farcical kangaroo court process the EFL use.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 How ridiculous. If we are back in a transfer embargo because of this I think I am done with football. I wonder how the clubs all feel knowing they are going to have to pay more legal fees. Just strikes me as being vindictive and petty. What a cockshambles.
