Re: HAPPY MONDAY!. FOREST, points deduction?
yes so if they had sold Johsnson in June for 35 million they would have had losses of around 60 mil for the 3 year period (1 mil below the max allowed). But instead they sold 2 months later for a greater amount and as such have made a smaller loss during those same 3 years (around 48 mil). The curr...

But they did judge it and that's why we had the long wait.

Had it not been for them scoring, I did wonder if VAR would have looked at the Muric challenge on Toney. He seemed to go through the back of him to claw the ball away a few moments earlier.
