Got to be James Rodriguez… Still feels like a dream.

I haven’t seen any of our fans claim we’ve not broken the rules, we just dispute the massively over the top punishment for doing so. Our overspending was entirely related to the new stadium being built and the independent commission’s ruling even states we gained ‘no competitive advantage’ from it, as well as stating that it was ‘a business decision’ not to sell or sue Gylfi Sigurdsson, and that the sanctioning of Usmanov (who was funding the stadium) following the invasion of Ukraine was not a mitigating circumstance. We are rightly outraged by the 10 point deduction for these reasons, however we don’t think our appeal will remove it, just lessen it hopefully.
