    Screw point reductions or fines, spurs need some actual punishment so they don’t do it again. I say make them rehire Conte on a long term contract, that will truly make them regret breaking the rules

    If we receive a harsher punishment than City or Chelsea than I’m done with the sport. There’s plenty of less corrupt sports in the world to enjoy.

    -1 point to Spurs for reasons

    -50 points to Pompey cause easier to punish

    -5 to Everton cause Defoe has a couple Es in his name

    So what I understood is They can be hit with:

    a transfer ban

    points deduction or

    relegation to a lower division

    Wenger is too soft low-key everyone else was cheating in some way even spurs but he wanted to moral victory his way to a title

      I wouldn’t even call this cheating from spurs, just seems like a deadline day oversight. Spurs are known for having some of the cleanest books in the pyramid.

    Let’s be real, the whole league has done dodgy deals. Whether it’s now or way, way back. It’s always been going on.

      If the same story comes out about another team or two it is definitely the case of the league trying to bring up enough stories to say look everyone is cheating to get out of punishing City/Chelsea.

        Ah shucks I thought we were getting lumped in with everyone else not with city

    Would be the most Spurs thing to carry on their good form, win the league and then get a points deduction meaning 2nd place wins it.

      Because football didn’t want to, it was a self governed wild west in a way. Now the government has threatened to introduce an independent regulator so English football is trying to look like its cleaning up its act and doesn’t need regulating (it does).

    Of course it was old harry. Shame that he tained our FA Cup win with this transfer and its part of the reason he’s only known as a colossal cunt in Pompey.

    This was also part of it and I genuinely hate that man with all my heart. The fact he tells this story as some funny little quip, but also has to lie because all of that for 2 mil doesnt sound as good as 9 mil.

    Why’s this coming to light only now? Didn’t anyone notice back then? Or didn’t care? But we care now?
