Reading between the lines of the Commisions report they said words to the effect that the 4 points was not meant to punish Forest but to redress the balance of fairness towards other clubs. Are they thinking of Luton, like us come up from years in the wilderness. Looking at the rest of the teams they are either long established Prem or "yo yo" clubs in receipt of parachute payments.
The powers that be probably want the Hatters to survive at our expense as a defence against the allegation of inherent unfairness? Ie if Luton can stay within the limits why can't Forest?

By that I'd assume they meant, that we broke the rules but the other clubs in the league barring Everton didn't.

Stokey pity the aren’t being fair to the rest of the teams and deducting man c and Chelsea.

We admitted doing it we need to stop crying and move on.

Yes, perhaps DTP, but I think all the other clubs who didn’t break the rules didn’t have to because they were long established in the Prem and in receipt of hundreds of millions quid ( except Everton who still managed to commit a breach). The promoted sides except Luton were in receipt of parachute payments giving them an advantage over other teams in the Championship and a flying start to life in the Prem ( except Sheff Utd who have decided to take a relegation hit and save the money for a Championship campaign next season ( a bit like Norwich did for years )

That's why the efl clubs are happy with the government's new initiative and the premier arent.

Can you get the bin dippers lawyers to give us a hand skeggs
You know that team in blue you support for finding a loophole?

Nothing wrong with finding and exploiting loopholes, DTP. The government are using loopholes so they can continue buying oil from Russia.
