Bear in mind they’ve been given a 6 point deduction due to their conduct when they were last in the championship, and that they beat us to the title by a point, surely we are owed some form of compensation?
No idea how much the difference is between winning the league and coming second but surely there’s at least 5-10m in it for us if we tried. |  |

Leicester don't seem to have 5-10m at the moment.

Would be nice if the EFL acknowledge that they cheated their way to the title and awarded it to us. |  |

A title with an asterisk against it?
No thanks. No need for that level of tinpottery. |  |

No we wouldn’t get the title - obviously.
But the amount of money we lost for coming second rather than first we should go for. However many millions that is. | |

Yeah fair point. Suspect it would cost most of that to pursue it.
I did read something about the 116 City charges and how EPL were trying to ensure their statute prevented retrospective claims, but I guess you could try it.
Didn’t sheff utd get some cash from West Ham over the tevez and mascherano affair? | |

The difference between 1st and 2nd is worth £1.5 million, so legal costs probably make it not worth the effort. Although they may be waiting for the appeal to be completed. |  | | |

Ahh it’s only 1.5m? Thankyou kind sir.
I had assumed it was more. Asked and answered. | |

I didn’t think there was any loss, and the EFL was equal distribution.
It’s why the second season in the premier league, and then the additional year of parachute payments is SO important…., the leverage we have, and others, is so vast, it’s bonkers.
What’s more fascinating is Leeds Utd. They did suffer losses which you could argue run in to the hundreds of millions!!!
Probably not a coincidence it’s 6 points! Any more and the EFL and premier league would have a hell of a problem to solve.., a legal dispute between member clubs that could easily bankrupt one.
The ‘plot twist’ being they’re stupid enough to appeal …, calling the EFL’s bluff, thinking there’s no way they’ll issue additional points and risk that legal case .., wouldn’t it be karma if exactly that happened.
I wouldn’t want any club to go bust, but they really are desperately cynical, and seem to want lawyers to be primary. Popcorn at the ready. |  | | |

Appealing the penalty would appear to be a very brave move (as Sir Humphrey might say). Either they have loads of confidence that their team can significantly out perform their current standing, so they can live with a bigger points deduction, or they are desperate.
But as you say, they might just be banking on the EFL having a hard stop at 6 points because of Leeds. I had assumed that was coincidence, but they are much closer to the arguments, so you could well be right.
Not sure what additional evidence will be presented so assume it is just fresh eyes looking at the case and we really ought to have a fairly rapid resolution. I am particularly looking forward to seeing what the POF podcasters have to say about it - Maguire in particular seems very close to the action.
A very interesting situation | | | |

Would be a bit of a quagmire with regards to Manchester City then if it#s ever sorted.
Just goes to show that if you have the financial clout you can get away with anything. Well more or less. | | | |
