Also, no matter how much people don't like Jackson, Maresca made it clear that it was not his decision. Although we got a nice loan fee, it shows it is always about getting money.

It’s painful knowing how we went from spending money without a care in The World in search of success at any means necessary under Roman to this… buy young, loan for a fee yearly or sell as soon as profit is made on that asset with success being a bonus if it happens but not really fussed as long as the players sell.

This is an important consideration. Not only was it possible to hide these payments from authorities at the time, they were not even discovered when the club came under heightened scrutiny because Russian owned assets were sanctioned. It's clear therefore that such payments can be hidden relatively easily.

This means there is no way to be sure that other clubs have not engaged in the same activity. Indeed, given the competitive nature of the football industry and the insatiable greed of agents, I'm guessing that many, many, clubs are guilty too. If authorities can't find these payments, but are determined to stop them, it would be counterproductive to impose heavy sporting penalties. Doing that would only make clubs all the more determined to keep their mouths shut about their own regulatory breaches.

There must be penalties but I'm guessing that these are much more likely to be financial than they are to be sporting.

In that case we should have just ignored those discretions. Assuming it was not possible for it to come to light .

Just on the players i been saying for a long time regarding the players these sd's are bringing in. Half of them are simply not good enough. There's too much reliance on those top quality half a dozen or so players we have and in turn half of them are injured regularly. Its a no win situation.
