NFFC Financial Talk

I'm thinking that all the commentary and news articles about everyone expecting a points reduction might actually be them trying to influence the decision in some way. The more people that say they 'expect' it, means any outburst by us seems more excessive if it were to happen, paint us as the bad guys, everyone can kick us while we're down etc and might make the 'independent panel' happier to be stricter because they are aware that everyone is saying a points deduction is coming.

Hopefully not, just a theory of mine.

Was thinking exactly the same the other day!

How can the 'Exclusive' i News article the other day, "Forest 'will suffer points deduction' over FFP breach', all based on the opinion of rival chief executives not be seen as trying to influence the result of the review?

Hopefully the panel aren't influenced by the articles and the foregone conclusion-ness of the recent discussion around us.
