Speaking of one rule for one...
In the season Luton were docked 10 points for using unlicensed agents, it turns out an independent committee found Spurs, Pompey and 'Arry (because of course) had ridden a coach and horses through exactly the same rules. They reported back to the FA who then did... nothing.
So much easier to boot Luton Town than Tottenham Hotspur of course.

Just as bad was Manchester United & Peterborough being found guilty of the same financial irregularities in 1968.
The punishments? A fine for United & automatic relegation for The Posh! | | | |

watched Simon Jordans interview with Rick Parry the other day, he spoke about Swindons relegation in 1990 which was partly due to the normal FA bods going to watch the World Cup so a load of amateur's did the hearing and relegated them. By the time they came back it was too late to change it

"Things don't really change" - they never will
It is easy to relegate Luton not Spurs, or fine Utd and relegate Posh, simply because not only they are big clubs, they are the clubs that "show the money" to the FA / EPL or they have influential people swaying the boards. Simple that
But once it goes tits up, the authorities may act (Chelshit & the Russian money launderer) but things revert back to status quo with another wealthy mob coming in and defy all the rules - big money transfer and looong contracts - they bend it better than Beckham
The FA is not going to banish these "big clubs" not because they are just filthy rich but because of their global appeal.
If they relegate the Spurs, the Uniteds, the C-Sh*ts, do you think watching Luton vs Peterborough or Swindon vs Bury is exciting enough to stir your pocket?
"Big" clubs bring in the money, the others just upset the money flow - so there's always a set of rules for the big boys and another for the others
Everton? - traditional big club, never relegated blah blah blah, but honestly is it even a global brand now like Liverpool or Arsenal? I mean if you gather the stats form TV ratings this is as clear as the sky. So no problem, punish them (at the "right time) so yes we are doing something....
Newcastle? - yeah they are "big" now, see all the petrol dollars but shut off the human rights
QPR - we have very wealthy owners alright, more so than Liverpool or Arsenal - but we are QPR, we are what we are, we simply just fu*k it all up even given all the right tools with owners who know two hoots about nothing | |

We got away with it with the Faurlin case. Being found guilty but no points deduction was a farce. | |

Strange that the decision not to impose on us a points deduction was indicated ten minutes before our last game of the season at home.
Clearly the timing done for dramatic effect - very wrong, should have been announced as soon as decision made.
The fact that decision announced just before our last game shows that those who came to that decision more interested in the glamour relating to a team that could not celebrate until the last possible moment, suggested decision makers loved the power they had.
It's all nuts !! [Post edited 21 Nov 2023 22:01]

Our owners need to buy clubs all over the world that we can sell to/buy from and loan with undisclosed fees a bit like Watford and Forest (and now NUFC)! | | | |

Hmmm, like I posted on Page 1 of this thread **Can of worms et cetera--et cetera**
You ain't seen nothing yet, someone has got to be brave almost to the point of footballs very own Watergate and take these people down.
I'd like to think that there are people out there dressed in there silk pyjamas and silk dressing gowns sipping a nightcap whilst looking out of their study windows at the Hampshire coast line whilst thinking to themselves "Jesus wept, I'm In the shit" | |

"In the relevant period the head of financial regulation at the FA was David Lampitt. However, he left the governing body three months after the arbitration panel published its findings, becoming the new chief executive at Portsmouth. He was at Fratton Park for 23 months and is now the chief executive of a tennis data organisation. Lampitt has not provided an explanation as to why the matter involving Defoe’s transfer was not taken further by the FA."
So, Lampitt has not provided an explanation as to why the matter involving Defoe’s transfer was not taken further by the FA. I'd say he doesn't need to provide an explanation, seeing as he was appointed as Portsmouth's new chief executive 3 months after having taken no action against them.....
Football is absolutely rotten to the core. It needs complete dismantling and starting again, without all the money and corruption.
I hope to fcuk we never get promoted to the Premiershit ever again. I despise it. | | | |

The only problem with that is that we know the same shít goes on in our division as well, albeit involving only fractions of the sums involved. | |

Yes, surprise surprise that Forest voted against the motion. The Premier League is a farce - you have three of the dodgiest teams in terms of FFP (the Scum, City and Everton) voting against it, along with Forest and Wolves who loan and sell players through their dodgy feeder clubs/agents and the Saudi regime itself. God knows what Burnley and Sheffield United were doing voting against it but they'll be back with us next year anyway, the pricks. | | | |

UEFA and the Premier League have left that stable door open way too long to bolt it now.
Watford have been doing this literally for years - here we are scrabbling to be under FFP while playing league fixtures against a club that can just pass money and players from right hand to left hand and ignore it. But they've never really cared about that becuase Watford are no kind of threat, and who cares about the Championship anyway? Wolves have been fiddling it like this for years as well and they weren't arsd. But suddenly Newcastle threaten their precious Champions League places and Man Utd etc are booting off about it. Well, too late, half the clubs in the league have got this work around now. | | | |

Coincidentally, Sheff Utd also owned by a Saudi prince. | | | |

I’d have thought it more likely that we got bought out and become part of an existing network? Rather than our owners setting up their own. That’s what happened with Watford (Pozzo’s) and Forest (the Greeks) I think. Not sure about the Wolves set-up. | | | |

Because if we did it, they'd get on it and it'd be a crime punishable by PISS. | |

That was more done because we did everything we could to delay the hearing until after the season and ended up being in the last week. The timing of the last game helped us imo as I think they just reached the call that it was too late and complicated to take promotion away | | | |

and Norwich bitch-moaned about it because they wanted the Championship title to go with the League One title they won the season before. | | | |

And didn't that horrible git Paul Lambert get manager of the season over Warnock? | |

I think so, which is even odder considering QPR won 'Manager of the Month' twice and 'player of the month' also twice, Taarabt on both occasions. Yet Norwich never featured at all in these all season yet got Manager of the Year. | | | |

Almost as strange as our fans giving Paddy Kenny Player of the Season over Adel.
We're not quite right as a fanbase, are we? | |
