Gibson strikes me as more a Mafia don type. I reckon he'll put the word out that he's offering a reward to anyone who can make sure Morris has an "unfortunate accident".

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Maybe Gibson got fed up of paying add-ons on candy crush that has racked up millions (which was all put towards Waghorn) and is now demanding that money back. Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise they'd probably not have any points deducted at this point. There are so many factors that go into deciding individual matches of football that I'm not sure there's any sound footing for legal action in proving results would have gone differently had they not signed certain players. It's pretty much entirely hypothetical. The Tevez and Mascherano case for West Ham provides precedent for factoring in the impact of individual players acquired by breaking the rules. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't West Ham get away more or less completely with that? They were initially fined about £5.5m I think as the disciplinary committee felt it would be unfair to deduct points from them at that point in the season! The only reason that it was that point in the season was because West Ham had deliberately delayed the process by not handing over documents and stuff. Essentially the panel let West Ham's lack of co-operation get them off a points deduction. Morons. West Ham did then have to pay Sheff United £30m compensation later on but I imagine they viewed it as money well spent. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
