I'll very grudgingly accept 3 points or fewer.
Anything more would certainly be appealed first thing Monday morning.

You have the Europa League draw to wait for yet!

Russian roulette with only one chamber containing the magic bullet of six points?

Historically clubs have only had fines (Leicester, Bournemouth & QPR spring to mind) for breaking PSR rules. Find it strange, since the Newcastle take over / threat of an independent regulator any breach is now a certain points deduction.
My opinion for what it's worth is punishment to fit the crime and as we have breached we do deserve to be punished. What I don't like is the impending automatic points deduction when I honestly think in our situation we did not gain a sporting advantage. Our team on promotion was worth about 50p and decimated when the loaned players went back. Yes we brought in a lot of players (i said at the time was to many) but we did offload a lot as well including the record sale of BJ which has apparently put us immediately back in the black. The issue is purely a timing one.
Compare this to Everton who took the piss for years, somehow managed to sweep 200+ million under the COVID rug. Sure I read the PL give them warnings & support/advice prior to charging them and they still breached 2 years running. I don't agree with point deductions full stop however the 2 cases are significantly different.
I'll stop now as I could moan forever haha

Don't you come on here talking sense!
(Completely agree though expect the PL will take a 'tough' stance due to the impending regulator thing)

Derby, Reading, Bury, Leeds, etc are all outside wanting a word about points deductions.
But I acknowledge your general point.

Weren't they all deductions for administration rather than psr? I lose track.

Derby followed by Reading are not two words I ever thought I'd see next to each other

Truem Various misdemeanours including administration, compliance with financial rules, over spending.
I was purely going by PL punishments.
I accept the EFL have taken a hard stance in recent times. Most of those mentioned where administration where they not? Apologies if I'm wrong
Portsmouth are the poster-boys for points dedications, are they not?
Reading are outside and would like a word....

I was distracted by your inclusion of QPR as their fine was with the EFL.

It'll be pretty poor form to announce this at the end of Friday before a crucial game at the bottom tomorrow. I reckon it'll be Monday now.

The more I think about it, I'm torn on whether to appeal or not if we get a deduction.
If what is suggested is true - take a lesser deduction if you drop any appeal - is essentially a threat. They're more or less saying take this punishment but if you make it complicated for us by appealing, we'll make it worse for you. The decision they come to is either deserved or it isn't.
Then again I can see the attraction of accepting that if it meant, say, two points deducted. I'd be more inclined to appeal if it was six reduced to four, for example.
Head hurts.

Derby would be the booby-prize, surely?

Leeds would have more deductions.

I doubt a plea-bargain offer would have been on the table anyway, so, as has been mentioned, any subsequent appeal won't come with a penalty-increase caveat.

Wouldn't be surprised if we still don't know this time next week - regardless of my feelings about their clubs financial wizardry, Everton fans did warn us this lot make it up as they go along.
