It's inconsistent in the punishment Andy not the process.
The funds for the purchase were put in the accounts for 2017/2018 to avoid a FFP penalty but the deal didn't go through until the following season.
Fiddled the books. Breach of the EFL's Profitability and Sustainability rules.
Also it wasn't a Court matter ...... that might follow if SWFC Appeal.
Papers with their Lawyers as we speak. I expect them to do so. This was a decision handed down by the Independent Tribunal.
The intriguing thing for me is that Aston Villa and Reading did the identical thing ............ but never had points deducted.
