I presume corruption payments are not covered by financial “fair play”. I guess this is one area where our owners could make their wealth count. Would love to see VAR suddenly going against the “top six” instead of being stacked in favour of them on this type of decision.
In all seriousness, momentum and confidence are massive over a season. A dozen such decisions could easily be the difference between European qualification or being dragged into a relegation dogfight for most teams.
