Any appeal carries the risk that the sanction increases. I work in law.So they can dock you more points for simply not agreeing with the decision? That's seems fair
I'd appeal.

Why didn't we? What changed in the space of four weeks given we knew we were going to breach FFP and that's pretty much the same sum of money as Spurs eventually got him for.
Doesn't sound right. Someone's got that mixed up. Maybe it was June 2022 and we didn't want to sell as we hadn't gone on our spending spree yet?

The Brennan Johnson mitigation was rejected because, broadly, we took too long to sell him after the accounts deadline, and there was no evidence we tried to sell him in the previous January window.

In fairness we were one point off of 12th with a game in hand at that point, obviously we were only 3 ahead of bottom place too though!
Hopefully it will temper expectations and if we have to submit projections in a couple of weeks this year we will be a bit more realistic and only put Europa league qualification rather than champions league as our projected finish!

This is not the place to be flirting Alf, do it on the match day thread instead

Atletico needed to sell before they could buy. So it wouldn't have concluded in time. We submitted a counter proposal to Atletico that was never followed up on by us. Which is why it was rejected as mitigation.

But did Johnson want to go? More desirable than Brentford for sure, but if he knew Spuds were sniffing around he held on for them to formally come in for him.

I wonder if Everton considered this when they got theirs reduced?
Would it not be highly unlikely to impose a greater sanction under such circumstances though?

Apparently he changed agents at the end of last season so made it even more complicated.

Why would we have tried to sell him in the previous January? That would have relegated us.
Our whole argument was that we delayed the sale to maximise our profit. It stands to reason, if you accept that premise, that the maximum fee is gained close to the deadline.

If my ex-wife was hearing the appeal it would be highly lightlyI wonder if Everton considered this when they got theirs reduced?

32 pages in and I'm gonna have a break. It is depressing reading. We claimed Covid deductions last season but genuinely forgot to do it for the season before. You couldn't make it up.

So gut sentiment aside, do Everton have a point (well, -6 points) in feeling hard done by? Our breach was pushing twice theirs.

Possibly, but that would turn on whether the Premier League play ball. Based on the Everton sanction, there is every chance that the PL could appeal and say the punishment was too lenient. IMO this also gives rise for Everton to take action as on the face of it, they have been treated more harsher than Forest.I wonder if Everton considered this when they got theirs reduced?

Right, so there wasn't really an offer we could accept to free up the money then.
So it's no surprise that mitigation was denied.
Don't know why we even brought it up. May as well have gone with "Man City phoned us once about potential £80m bid for Johnson but we didn't hear from them again." - has about as much weight.
