Reports that by the end of the season, it is likely that five other clubs will have points deductions (on top of Derby and Reading).
One thing we can be thankful of is that we're not one of them.
I'm no supporter of our ownership, but it's a blessing that we're not in the sort of mess that some other Championship clubs are.

They'll say that you can look at teams like Brentford to prove it's not all about parachute payments.
Teams like Derby prove you can spend as much money as you want, but it doesn't guarantee success.

Just because we have not had a points deduction does not mean we are not in a perilous state football wise.
I don't really care about anyone else. I do care where our Premiership money and parachute payments have gone. I do care when a club our size and with the money we have gleaned over the past 4 years appears to be poorer than everyone else in the division.
I care why our owner is content with us losing games because we play kids that are cheap. I care when our owner wont even sign a free transfer because we may have to pay them wages.
Tell you what, Luton brought in some decent freebies. They are not being deducted points just like we're not. They have though managed to be competitive and play half decent football.

Poorer than everyone else in championship? With possibility of 7 clubs being docked points for financial reasons by end season that does not make us appear to be poorest team in championship by a very long way..... as for Luton well maybe they brought in players because they needed them to fill 1st team places? We certainly did not need 1st team replacements unless you mean putting 4 or 5 high paid players on bench so wasting money club does not have ..... we brought in a couple one premier club brought in exactly 000000 players and they're got £90m income this season... why cant you accept there is little or no money in EFL and city like many others havent spent money they dont have.... our premier league money wasted by managers from malkie onwards on donkeys journeyman and load of crocs ... if we get relegated you can whinge about playing youngsters not working until then it is what it is and points deduction is not for us.

Annis go and look at the club accounts. We lost £12m in the 2019/20 season which is just short of the £13m maximum allowed by Profit and Sustainability Rules. During that season we received £36m in parachute payments. We are no longer in receipt of parachute payments and that has to be made up by cutting costs.
If we don't balance our books then we become the next Reading, Sheffield Wednesday or Derby County and receive a points deduction.
You say that 'you know things'. It could be that what you have been told has been misinterpret by you and others in your echo chamber as keeping this club solvent and avoiding fines, points deductions or other sanctions is in the best interests of both CCFC and Vincent Tan.

Until there is proof of your statement in official published accounts you don’t “know” this, it’s merely your opinion.
Somebody with inside knowledge telling you something is just hearsay. You may believe it but that doesn’t make it fact. There’s a reason why hearsay isn’t given much weight in legal proceedings, it’s because it can’t be directly challenged or examined.
So you can, of course, have your opinion but at the moment it is no more valid than the person you’re arguing with !!

I look at the club accounts all the time and you know a lot of our expenses and over heads don’t appear individually, the club is run on a shoe string in places like the ticket office etc and sadly now the team, but the life of our committee in London etc is all
Down to our club and £millions upon £millions have been wasted by the lot of them totally unnecessary.
A FACT

How is it FACT when you admit that there is no documentary evidence in the accounts? In any case you haven't addressed the loss of parachute payments and the balancing of the clubs books to avoid a points deduction.
Shit stirring about people proves nothing and adds nothing to your argument. If you want to be credible then explain how CCFC can balance the books without cost cutting in all areas?
