Tonsta Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I would really like to see them go flat out for this, best team every round. A trip to wembley and a top 10 finish would do me this season. Edited September 27, 2019 by Tonsta missed word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 "In 2014, Sunderland were fined by the Premier League and the EFL after they fielded an ineligible player in four league matches and a League Cup match" as a precedent suggests they won't get preferential treatment if it's just a fine but in Sunderland's case they actually realised the mistake and reported themselves so that will have worked in their favour, don't know the circumstances of this one. If they knowingly did it they should be chucked out. Sibdane and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmytheJimster Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 There's no way Liverpool will get kicked out, probably just a fine. Their tie against Arsenal is the biggest tie of the round and will make the EFL and Sky a lot of money in sponsorship and advertising. markjazzbassist, Matt and Palfy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replied too quick mate as I was doing a bit more research (it’s boring in a hotel). If they win, they’re not actually penalised and get a trophy. What kind of punishment is that?!

Finn balor Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 No point really is there? The fine is a joke. Any club that does that should have to play their under 23 team in the next round.

Shukes Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 They can’t punish them more than the last team though, just because they are Liverpool. Fairness works both ways.... no matter how much we have them. Imagine speeding fines being £100.000 if you have more than 1m in the bank, there would be riots!

Punishment doesn’t have to be negative all the time. Forcing teams to progress their (reserve) teams is a step of forward thinking. Not sure how it could, or if it could work though.

They shouldn't of let the last team off with it or at least made it clear that they would fully enforce it on the next occasion. They kick ametuer teams out of cups all the time for it. Shouldn't be any different for the professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t they been pushing for motoring offences, the more serious ones, to be a percentage of monthly wage? Rich people don’t like to riot.

I'd support that; for a penalty to be equally financially painful for all makes perfect sense. £500 fine for a PL footballer is the lint in their trouser pocket so no deterrent whatsoever while the same for Joe Public on minimum wage it's a fortune. barryj and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true, the FA had set a precedent which for the richer clubs will just make them think “well fuck it, what’s the worst that can happen?” I’m more annoyed by the situation and response than I am about it being that lot, I’d be just as frustrated if it was anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 In the quarters with Colchester and oxford still in so a real chance to make it to the semis. We will probably get city mind you. Certain people still want us to get knocked out or play a weaker team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably get city mind you. Certain people still want us to get knocked out or play a weaker team? Generally I’m one (a minority, I think) who prefers some rotation for cup matches. Maybe 3-5 changes, not 8-9. Partly this comes from my view that we don’t have a clear “excellent” first 11, nor do we have unanimity on TT as to who is the best choice at every position. (Some think Delph is preferable to Davies; others scoff at that thought. Some think Coleman is past it; others disagree. Should Holgate replace Keane, when Mina returns? Should Baines get a start in Dec? Etc.) The next round of the League Cup this season presents a special problem. We’ll probably play Wed Dec 18, 3 days after facing ManU away and 3 days before Arsenal at Goodison. That’s 3 matches in 7 days, which, further, is the end of a brutal first 3 weeks in December. So, I’m skeptical that we’ll know — or agree about — our best 11; and even if it were clear to all our first-choice at every position, I assume somewhere in our December matches, some rotation will be necessary. I’m desperately hoping for Colchester or Oxford, at Goodison. Only one who truly thinks this season’s League Cup is a fool’s errand when we might be in the relegation zone by mid-Dec will prefer any of the other 5 possibilities.
