The club broke the rules as they stand. We were over the limit . The 47 m is mitigation unless there is sufficient evidence which shows that transfer was happening for certain in which case we will get away with itIf we do not appeal any points deduction personally its an admission of guilt and I'll be really pissed off with the club if that's the case.
We can't willingly accept any points deduction if we believe we are not in the wrong when we are only 3 points above relegation.
Well we admitted our guilt to begin with which is why we are hearing the IC sentencing tomorrow. The hope is it was seen only as a technical breach: but they may feel it still needs punishing. If so 3 points isn’t fatalIf we do not appeal any points deduction personally its an admission of guilt and I'll be really pissed off with the club if that's the case.

How could an IC issue a penalty like that?Rumour on twitter at the moment is 3 pts and no appeal.
I will be very angry if the club accept that, as it just shows they really fucked up
No. The rumour was that it was 3pts agreed with the club on condition they don't appealHow could an IC issue a penalty like that?
Kieran Maguire suspects (he knows a lot of journos) it'll be 4-5 points and this is with the deduction of a promise not to appeal.Rumour on twitter at the moment is 3 pts and no appeal.

That would be a disgrace over one seasonI stand by the fact i also think we have mitigation which matters.
1. Only been in the PL for one season
2. Everton got assistance and help from the PL to go in line
3. The whole point of PSP means it should benefit us - so we had to sell BJ and get the best price. Surely that’s in the best interests of the club and the whole point of this stupid charge ?
4. At most we were none compliant for 2 months
I would take max 1 point deduction but nothing more.

I do not think the IC have the power to do that.No. The rumour was that it was 3pts agreed with the club on condition they don't appeal
The IC don't, but the EPL and NFFC may see an opportunity to horse-trade with the verdict from the IC.I do not think the IC have the power to do that.
They can implement a penalty or suspended penalty but they cannot demand that there is no appeal.
Both sides, us and the PL, have right to appeal the decision.
Remember it was the EFL who appealed the original decision, when the IC decided there was no case to answer relating to the amortisation issue with Derby.
I’m sure that is correct. The IC are there to determine the penalty and nothing more. I’m not sure about whether the Premier league have the right to appeal the decision as the rules may be different to EFL rules on this. Even if they do have the right they won’t because they want this sorting out before the season ends.I do not think the IC have the power to do that.

It's late.announcement at 11am, according to twitter (here's hoping constantly referencing twitter as a source of information is proven correct this time!)
Well Twitter told me so, so it has to be correct.It's late.
BunkumWell Twitter told me so, so it has to be correct.
***UPDATE***
It’s now a high noon reveal.
Maybe NFFCs media kids had to tart up their drill music, and present the big announcement with the correct gravitas this deserves.
