[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 402912, member: 175057"] Would Spurs have been relegated had the points been deducted, I can't remember the circumstances? £5M was no punishment, as it meant that they stayed up in the Premiership with all of the cash that being in the top league brings. If you look at it logically, Teves was the reason they stayed up and he shouldn't have been there, so failure to deduct points was a travesty. It'll be worth any potentially relegated team doing the same thing, as it means that they still earn a bundle more than if they'd not done it and gone down. Also, the new owner of the club continued to benefit from the services of the illegal player, so the argument that it happened before he took over is invalid. Can't see you logic there, why does the fact that there was no precedent to draw from, make the punishment of only a fine reasonable? [/QUOTE]
