There was brief comment on RD before the game last night that Ed & Eric had met someone 'in the know' outside the ground who had suggested that the club were VERY confident that they'd be found not to have broken any rules - they obviously didn't name names, but you'd have to suspect that it was someone connected to the club (my guess is Gibson) as who else in the know would be lurking around Birmingham on a Wednesday evening?

FindernRam Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Brum were found not guilty and the EFL appealed to drag it out some more. I suspect if we are found innocent the same thing will happen. They want to look tough, although I'm not sure to whom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows, then it should be him as he's also on the board of the EFL. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Once all the allegations that have been made against us by the EFL are proved to be unfounded, I have to believe what Mel says about the sale of the stadium is correct. Where will the club stand financially in regard to complying with FFP this coming season. Will Cocu have the money to enable him to get the players in he wants, this transfer window. Or will he end up with whats available in the free agent and loan market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This has been dragging on and on and has hurt our beloved club. If the club is found guilty of breaching rules, many are expecting a 12 point deduction, and so i propose that it be only fair that if a not guilty verdict arrives, we instead gain 12 points, thereby securing playoffs. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like the EFL are not going to win regarding the charges related to the stadium sale. It could be that we may get a slap on the wrist ( and fine?) regarding amortisation of player values. I would be amazed if we are deducted any points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
