Bin VAR!
Didn’t think there was a minimum for the prem - but it does have to be points. Does feel like they make most of it up as they go along!

I have said for a while I think it will be 6 overall with 2 or 3 suspended for the next three years (on the unwritten agreement that we don't appeal)
So essentially a 3 or 4 point penalty for this year and a huge incentive for us not to do it again (as it would be 8 or 9 total next time as a minimum)

That would be my prediction as well.

Nottingham's dirty secret
It wouldn't be 8 or 9 as a minimum as you get 9 for going into administration.

6. Plus the 2 or 3 suspended.

You’d hope there wouldn’t be a ‘next time’.
Lessons need to be learnt-the fanbase is cheesed off with the whole fiasco.

Can we do a sweep?
I’ll have 2 points!

Surely, it's not the (so-called) independent commission's gift to offer a 'no-appeal' deal anyway?
Cloughie1975
John Robertson
In theory,Otis-but you can bet your bottom dollar that the EPL and the commission
have discussed this.
The EPL will be desperate for Forest not to appeal (as with the Everton 2nd charge).

I think they'll finally realize we've had some shit refereeing decisions this season and give us 6 points.

Just enough points to relegate us and keep Luton up

Monty Python thought.
What if we got relegated and Marinakis got fed up that he wasn't able to inject cash and took his ball home. We struggle to find another buyer and end up in the proper brown stuff.
Contrary to the point of the whole system, I think, unless the point is to ringfence those at the top...
Very silly indeed.

Whichever way it goes we're up shit creek.

I suspect you're right Cloughie. Although, as Notcher commented earlier, even if we had a gentleman's agreement to not appeal a lesser sanction it wouldn't be legally binding.
Robertson
Geoff Thomas
Well I can think of one very easy way to ensure we don’t appeal. Accept our mitigating circumstances and give us a slap on the wrist.
Cloughie1975
John Robertson
No,but I would expect Forest to issue a club statement to the effect that they are satisfied that
they had a fair hearing and consider the matter closed.
I don’t personally think the ‘crime’ was that heinous but if we’ve exceeded the spending
limits we can expect some punishment.As long as this is realistic I think it’s in the best
interests of all parties to move on.
Otis Redding

I'd hope we appeal any deduction above one or maybe two points.
Notcher
Stuart Pearce
More likely that the commission will have to put a claim in for third party, fire and Marinakis.
Can't issue the sanctions if you're computers melted and papers are on fire
Cloughie1975
John Robertson
Let’s wait and see tomorrow,Otis-I suspect Forest would take 3 and at a push 4 (with possibly
an additional 2 or 3 suspended).
I think EM would need to listen to De Marco and possibly Randall as to the prospects of any
appeal (unless we get a stupid deduction) being successful.
Otis Redding
Try A Little Tenderness
The punishment can't be increased by appealing it Cloughie so there's nothing to lose.
Cloughie1975
John Robertson
It could be a ‘take it or leave it’ offer,Otis i.e 6 points now and take your chances on appeal or
a reduced deduction and close the case.
You can’t have your cake and eat it (there has to be a middle ground somewhere).
