I don’t even disagree that the Johnson transfer should have been a mitigating factor because why should they have to take a lower a fee from another club acting like a vulture. But if something that Forest chose to do was allowed as mitigation why wasn’t the war in Ukraine etc allowed for us when we had zero control over that?
None of this makes any sense and rather than show that an independent regulator isn’t needed all it’s done is shown that it is desperately needed.
Fuck Richard Masters, fuck the Premier League and fuck their farcical panels.
