Sussex in the mire

Any penalty they receive, you can bet it will be nowhere near as severe as the one we received.

TBH. I hope so because they should have learnt their lesson.

Reading that article, it says there's a possibility of a fine, just how stupid would that be?
 
Several counties have suffered financial problems but because the guy in charge at the ECB at the time seemed to have a chip on his shoulder about us, he did the equivalent of giving a shoplifter 10 years in prison for petty theft.
 
Part of the Sussex mismanagement was on Rob Andrews watch when he was Chief Executive of

That's not what was posted. The sanctions imposed upon Durham were draconian and far more severe than several other counties who committed similar irregularities.e.g. Glamorgan,Middlesex, Northants.
Durham were relegated as part of their sanction. None of the above were, nor will Sussex.
#6 alludes to why the Durham sanction was so severe. It didn't require a great stretch for those with grey cells.
There's no evidence in the thread of any conspiracies against Durham. It has simply been on the inconsistency of sanctions for financial mismanagement. Once again, your observations are wholly without foundation.

'Rules apply differently to southern counties" "because someone has a chip on their shoulder about Durham"

Sanctions have been applied differently with specifically Durham being relegated yet others not.If you don't accept that fact you're entitled to your view.
As ever you offer no reasoning hence it lacks any credibility
It's accepted nationwide amongst the cricket fraternity that the Durham sanctions were unnecessarily draconian.

He has no opinions on the matter and is just trying to start an argument.

IMO Colin Graves likely regarded Durham as an existential threat to Yorkshire as we take players from their former conveyor belt, and compete with Headingley for internationals. Zero sum thinking is common among narcissists.

Yeh,I'm puzzled as to the purpose of his posts and have tried to give him credibility. I've fell for it far too frequently.

Not every case is the same can you behave with the no reasoning stuff trying to goad me.

There is room to dispute “similar”. Durham were given an agreed budget. To that extent it was similar to the special measures Sussex are in. But that’s not all in Durham’s case. There was a significant cash bail out, and at least one of the operating companies was wound up and a new company formed. So far as I can tell neither of these things are happening with Sussex, or have happened in the other special measures cases.

I think Durham’s punishment was unduly harsh. But I still think you need to accept that Durham’s case was bad in ways that hasn’t been matched since.

I justified the previous post about conspiracy by providing quotes, I don't have to justify everything to you and I say plenty of things similar to other posters or just general comments which are also fine you know exactly what you are doing I thought you were better than this.
