Aye Bazza.... I'm 100% sure the big Greek fella will do so.

Palace are fine. Brentford's next 3 fixtures are quite tough, so you never know. Unlikely though I agree.

Bit premature, isn't it? Think we need to see how the rest of the season goes before we get the knives out.

WHAT?! You heard it today in Sunderland!!!Breaking news
4 point deduction, you heard here first
If it hadn‘t have been him, it would have been somebody else.
And maybe that somebody could work an Excel spreadsheet and not be such an impudent crybaby.

I can’t be the only one who is annoyed that this has come from newspapers and not the club first. Sums up the corrupt nature of the whole thing.

Got to do, throw their f***ing season in to chaos just for the sake of it. They won’t increase it so nothing to lose and we now know what we need to work towards as a worse case scenario.

It is possible to be both greatful for helping get us up, and also annoyed at the pig's ear he's made of things subsequently.

Pretty happy with 4, wonder if we took the option of lower sentence if we agree not to appeal. The last thing the Prem will want is for any final outcome to still be up in the air after the final game.
If we can't make up the 1 point on Luton over the next 9 games with our squad then bigger questions need to be asked.

Sums up the competence of Forest‘s media department!
He's working away in Luton today.WHAT?! You heard it today in Sunderland!!!
4points isn't great,but could have been worse.
I truly believe that now the floodgates have opened you'll see team after team getting done,it's not just Everton or Forest,all teams do it somehow and it's a case of being caught which they will.

I think there always has to be the right of appeal.

I’d still appeal it, they deserve the headache of it all.
f*** em.
We will stay up as well now it’s confirmed as only four points.

Agreed 100 per cent but all we can do it come together as a fanbase and get behind the team 100 per cent for the last 9 games I think 4 wins keeps us up - beat Palace Fulham Wolves then pick up 3 points on the road we will be stay up on 33 points.

There's no incentive not to appeal, is there?

Well there we have it. We need to call this for what it is - an inexcusable failure in governance of our club and community asset and a pretty shameful day in the history of an organisation that has always prided itself on doing things the right way.
Before the charges of disloyalty come flying in - do I think the current rules by which we have been judged are a nonsensical shambles? Yes. Should we appeal to make a point? Yes. But this is not a binary question, it is a 'both and'. We had full knowledge of the stipulations within which we had to operate when we got promoted, and other clubs have managed to both stay within them and stay in the league. Simple accounting was all it took to avoid this, but even that has not proved possible amid the chaos that clearly has a stranglehold behind closed doors..
If four points is what relegates us, then I do not see how Marinakis' position at the club remains tenable in principle (although I appreciate as the owner of the company there is f*** all we can do). The club and entire city has struggled painfully and waited patiently for a miracle for 25 years. Two years ago, it finally arrived. For it be pissed away so the owner's son can get a few likes on Instagram and because he is too proud to approach recruitment in the Premier League strategically would be unforgivable and tragedy.
If we do get away with it, Marinakis needs to look hard in the mirror and swallow copious amounts of pride and face up to some painful home truths. If he doesn't, it'll be back to another 25 years of waiting for a miracle.

Absolutely this.
