StevO Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, Cornish Steve said: To make the analogy a little closer... The traffic cop notes your time as you pass by various mile markers. Local statutes demand that they measure your average speed over three miles. On this stretch of road, the speed limit is 65mph. Only if you exceed 65mph over three miles can you be charged with speeding. Here's what they observe: Mile marker 1: 45 seconds Mile marker 2: 90 seconds Mile marker 3: 135 seconds The police note your total time over 3 miles: 135 seconds. This means you've been doing 80mph. On come the blue lights. You immediately slow down to 60mph (a mile a minute). The police car isn't behind you yet. Maybe you got away with it. Mile marker 4: 195 seconds Mile marker 5: 255 seconds Now they've caught up and pulled you over. "Sir. From when we started monitoring your speed, we measured it at 80mph over three miles. Did you know the speed limit is 65mph? That'll be a £200 fine." You take out your wallet and hand over the cash. Before you can drive off, the police officer continues: "But we also started monitoring your speed after Mile Marker 1. For the next three miles, you averaged 72mph. That's a second offense. That'll be a £400 fine." You're annoyed. "But from the moment I spotted your blue lights, I slowed to 60mph." The officer smiles as he thinks what he'll do with that £600. "Sorry sir, but the law states that we must measure your speed over a 3-mile stretch of road." Now you're angry: "But you can't fine me twice for speeding over the same stretch of road! Anyway, national law is different." The officer considers this for a moment before continuing: "What matters is my patch, not national law. Now, we also measured your speed for three miles starting at Mile Marker 2. From there, you averaged 65.5mph. Now, I was going to be kind and overlook it, but since you've taken umbrage... that will be £600 for a second repeat offense." This points out just how ridiculous the whole scenario is. We're being threatened with a second fine when we were already fined for much of the same stretch of road. Either they restart the measurement after three miles or they calculate over one mile. It's ridiculous that they claim the right to fine potentially three times for overspending in just one year. Look at Steve just driving around with £600 in his wallet. Loaded!!

Palfy Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Does anyone think that we may lose one or two of our better players before 11pm on February 1st, to try and cover our alleged breach of PSR, and if so which player or players do you see leaving.

Onana we could live with but Branthwaite would be huge miss and near on impossible to replace. I was thinking Onana as well along with Pickford and possibly one this month if it’s the right money to cover what we need to get off PSR charge.

It’s for a period ending last year. It could help with the next charge, but we may have a transfer ban at that point so losing players now would put us in a really big hole.
