Either the EFL throw the book at us and absolutely Hammer us. Or the more favorable outcome would be a complete ban for Dc on running the club until he's sold it, but allowed to bring in a board of directors to run the club in his stead (hopefully he'd get some experienced football people in) without too many repercussions or the detriment to sustainability. To be overseen by an efl appointed overseer to prevent any further rule breaking until he sells up. Not ideal, but would hopefully mean we can be run like a business, selling assets and re investming profit etc.. Would prefer to be overseen by an Elf... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the EFL come down hard, or will it be a points deduction and a slap on the wrists? Could go either way. Problem is it’s fraud if true and the EFL will be the least of his worries.

We are blaming auditors for it. Source is one of those auditors. 15 points. We better start winning a few more games then. Going to need to go on a better run than 2 wins in 8. If indeed we are guilty a 3.2 million fine would be fully deserved for DC Edited December 3, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write off this season and properly clear the decks and start again. My concern is that it just deals with 1 season and we're still stuck with the 3 year cycle and at the limit still. Did anyone actually get to the bottom of where Birminghams punishment left em? It never seemed to be explained fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if guilty I hope DC leaves this club ASAP. Just the small matter of finding someone to take over from him. Can see him massively overvaluing the club if his player valuations are anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is on the brink of absolute carnage, and fans want us to spunk a few £m on a new player. I think I was taking the p#ss as so many on here are asking us to spend in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 To be fair, if DC invited me to a p!ss up he was holding in a brewery I'd pass it up.........most likely be a nailed on f*****g disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we be discussing the punishment with the auditors? We are challenging the EFL over whether we have breached the rules at all. The punishment will only be discussed and decided (internally by the EFL) once we have found innocent / proven guilty surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It never ceased to amaze me that for a club that was very nearly wound up about a decade ago, Wednesday fans were quite willing to unconditionally support a man who had to sell one of the most historic stadiums in football, and create a non-trading taxi firm and sports drink just to fund a day-trip to London a few years ago. I would have thought the fanbase would be a bit more scrupulous. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbirks Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Maybe if they're laying charges clearly at individuals' door then we, the club, will not be punished (points deduction, etc). Who knows, but here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
