| FA Taking the Pi55 Now 08:09 - Jun 15 with 1929 views | HytheFerrytales | No decision by now starting to be beyond ridiculous. Players and Managers starting to move like an old fashioned Tetrus game. That will soon accelerate. We are frozen to a large extent....who's staying..who's going.. who might come in might well be linked to Eckert's status. Try as I may, can't even guess what the hell the FA is actually doing. |  | | |  |
| FA Taking the Pi55 Now on 08:12 - Jun 15 with 1906 views | PatfromPoole | I've said it before. We won't get an outcome on this for years. We have deliberately employed Man City's lawyers to get the can kicked down the road enough times for people to have forgotten about this. |  |

We still seem to be pretty active in the transfer market, so it looks like things operating as normal. Though the cynical may say we are doing our business early before any potential transfer embargo..... |  |

| FA Taking the Pi55 Now on 09:02 - Jun 15 with 1763 views | davidargyll | Two to six months apparently Which could mean November. But i suspect it is in everyone's interest if the FA gets it done by the beginning of the season, ie two to three months. But equally I suspect that Dragan’s pockets for this sort of thing are rather deeper than the FA’s, which makes an operating profit of less than £10 million pa. And a case of this kind, if/when it goes to appeal, could cost the FA hundreds of thousands if not more. The obvious solution for all is some sort of suspended ban, which just might be enough to stop Dragan keeping the FA in Court for ever. |  | |  |

I would think that this might be the reason for the delays and the outcome, but the problem for the FA is that they are caught in a two tiered justice system, essentially we fell foul of EFL regulations and not FA ones. Our offence would not be an offence in every other competition that comes under the FA's jurisdiction, so it is a two tiered justice system, Liverpool do it and it's not an offence, EFL clubs do and it is. So can the FA get involved in upholding the EFL's laws and this may be the key. |  |

The average lifespan of a football manager is about 18 months isn't it? So we won't have to kick it too far down the road. |  |

The last thing we want now is another inquiry rushed through, influenced by the draconian verdict of the recent Middlesbrough/EFL inquiry.. [Post edited 15 Jun 10:24]

And more to the point, Stewart excepted, we've kept at least 2 players we want to keep |  |
