Re: EFL: Delay No More
El MayorHaircut1000Dan, what I don't get is the precise link between the size of any potential points deduction and the extent to which a club has broken the financial rules. This all seems quite arbitrary.
I mean, imagine if Blues had the same wages-to-turnover ratio, but the turnover itself was twice as big. Would that lead to a 24-point penalty?
I would argue the absolute sums involved should be taken into account when deciding any penalty. And on that, there seems no clarity either from the EFL.
I also have a feeling the EFL are waiting to see roughly where Blues are before deciding the size of the penalty - can you imagine if some muppet on the panel relegates us by chewing on his or her pencil and docking, say, two extra points off us. The whole thing stinks basically.
Well, it's nothing to do with the wages to turnover ratio for a start.
Also, it's two offences. The first is breaching the rules, the second is aggravating it by signing Pedersen.
OK EDIT: what I mean is how does the points penalty scale with the size of the losses above £13m per season. Is it 1 point lost per £1m in excess, or what? 1 point per £2m? All seems arbitrary. Even the Pederson signing, it's a grey area how bad that was.
