Leeds: west ham (a) Spurs (h), Points: 37(), Position: 18
Today looks massive for Forest like to could be us tbh

 

[Armchair Pundit]

For the remaining two spots I'd like to see Everton go down (because I hate em more than the others) and Leicester (in case it helps us get Maddison).

[Superior Acuña]

I would like to see Everton down but fancy them to stay up after that Brighton match. Would also be funny to see them pickup points leaving Leeds in it after they were running the clock down for a draw that left them in the relegation zone with 2 games left.

[GWN]

Looks like the 3 in the current spots are gonna now.

 

Shame I hate Everton 

[Andybiotics]

Can see Nottingham Forest's horrific goal difference being a factor on the final day.

 

Personally think it'll be Leeds/Leicester that go though.

After that c**t pushed Howe, I am really hoping Leeds f**k off!

that Everton loss means Bournemouth are safe in the PL. Fair play to Gary O'Neil

[Danh1]

Aye I still think Leeds will go, despite them having a bit of fight yesterday. If Bamford wasn’t shite they’d have been 2 up against us yesterday and they’d have beaten Leicester. 

 

I think Forest could go too but it would mean Leicester need a point from either Liverpool or SJP, as well as obviously beating West Ham on the last day.

Forest have Palace away last day, but they’ve been shocking on the road.

I must admit I thought appointing him sealed their relegation but he’s done a class job. 

 

@WillDanceForChocolate Congratulations, will be interesting to see what your new owner intends to do this summer.

Did you see that clip a week or so when they were doing an arm-wrestle and he snapped his arm live on stream?

Perfectly timed to just call them relegation release clauses.

Have those kind of cases ever been successful?

West Ham had to pay Sheffield United compensation, although it was much less.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Burnley might have a solid case for compensation if the punishment for Everton is a points deduction of 4 or more points (the amount Everton finished above them last season)

 

That would be compensation for the £65m payment triggered as a direct response to being relegated.

 

Similarly whoever finishes 3rd bottom this year may have a case due to the hearing being held post season end - unless the regulations are clear on when punishments take force (i.e. if they say the season after the accounts are published then there would be no case). This scenario may need the club to sue the Premier League rather than Everton however.

 

There is no need for these delays, all clubs accounts are audited and the Premier League could lay a mandate that along with the published accounts an audited set of FFP adjusted figures need to be provided, and that all accounts need to be with the Premier league by the 31st December. They could then take 2-3 months to review them all with any required sanctions in place by the end of March

[McCormick]

I’m sure the Mail said something similar about Everton being sued last year but nothing came of it.

Aye for 1 team over a decade ago. It was still a decent amount, £20m+ wasn't it? If so that's £60m in today's football money, times by 4 or 5 clubs. The PL may have no option but to dock them pts this season to avoid this.

The PL are gutless when it comes penalising clubs, like. At least in Italy they're not afraid to hand points deductions (even if they are later reduced)

I imagine it's incredibly damaging to the brand, which speaks for itself, certainly in comparison to the Serie A brand. The recent Juventus stuff, for instance, makes the league look like a complete joke. Better to brush under the carpet and let the unreal football/footballers mask everything. (More on about City here, like).

[Elric]

Surprised that cunt Levy isn't in on this somehow, over the Alli transfer. 

 

Still though, inject it, it'd be fucking hilarious if they went down and got slapped with some kinda sanction
