full spectrum i would say. one end of the spectrum - the laws an ass. teams who are fixtures in european football can spend what they like, their turnover is so big compared to everyone else. Oh and they tried to kill any remaining competition in english football by forming a super league that would have got them even more money. they got a 3m quid fine as its not fair to penalise fans and players. other end of the spectrum - we worked damned hard to reduce our outgoings, whittling the squad down, putting ourselves into two relegation scraps (which left other clubs considering legal action which would have finished us), and then got hit with a 10 point deduction for something that didnt give us a sporting advantage for being less than 20m out. that doesnt buy you a championship player nowadays. all this while we lost our backer, costs went through the roof and we are building a stadium. no inflation is factored into the allowable figure, despite it being rampant.lots of other bits in between as well. the whole thing stinks. sorry for that - to actually answer your question i think the appeal is based around the proportionality of the deduction.
the club admitted they were in the wrong just before the commission sat. they thought they werent but fell victim to a rule change about where to stuff some money, which was purportedly to do with the stadium build and had been ok previously.
