    So what I understood is They can be hit with:

    a transfer ban

    points deduction or

    relegation to a lower division

    And this was around the era that Spurs fans were calling into national radio stations demanding their players walk off the pitch whenever refs gave a decision against their team. How ironic that it turns out it was them who were actually getting the favourable treatment.

    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.

      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).

      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.

    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.

    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

    I knew it. Shady shady sods. They took advantage of anything and everything suring that period. I’d love to see someone go to the same level of detail for the begovic and kaboul deals. Somehow we ended up owing spurs as we sold begovic to stoke? Wtf is that?
