Quote: Him "Yep the biggest clubs in our game have both claimed admin errors. Either the method in which the clubs report the cap is fiendishly complicated or the clubs simply aren’t giving it enough attention. Either way it’s up to the clubs to sort out.
Or of course they’re lying and it’s deliberate. Either way a points deduction would incentivise compliance/improving the cap reporting much more than a fine.'"
It would, except the transgressor would lodge an appeal that would then be upheld as it'd be well nigh impossible to prove that the "negligence" was deliberate. Which is one of only two criteria needed to trigger a points deduction under current rules.
