Can someone explain to me why our CEO would have gone on record saying this as evidence (under 12.54)
"money was not apparently Forest’s driver, Mr Vrentzos
explained at the Hearing that a few million pounds would not matter to a business that is turning
over many millions"
The statement then continues to say the below which I think is absolutely ridiculous; that the integrity of the rules are more important than the money a club makes in maximising profit. Wtf is that meant to mean when the whole point of these rules are about profit in the first place. Thing is the above statement just gives them every reason to say the below, well wtf didn't you abide by the rules if losing a few million quid means nothing to you.
" but, ultimately, it boils down to this for the Commission – what really
matters is the integrity of the competition and how the public and other clubs saw Forest
behaving; along with the fairness to the other clubs playing in the competition and abiding by
the PSR. In the eyes of the other clubs, had Forest sold Player A within the first few weeks
following the PSR deadline, this would demonstrate a willingness to comply, so why not make
the “miss” as near as it could? It may have cost Forest some money, but it would have
demonstrated that Forest showed some respect for the Rules, its fellow clubs and the
competition and reacted as soon as it could."
Overall I'm still pissed off with the club for getting in this mess but even more so with the premier league who seem to have taken advantage of our honest approach to the charges. everton fans must be bricking it now if assume.
