The EFL have been talking to the PL about transferring any deductions when they were investigating Villa and I suspect that they would push very hard for it to come into force. Mainly to stop another QPR situation. That would be typical Wednesday. Finally get up, start on -12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big opportunity for the team to redouble efforts for a playoff place at least, maybe more if our local competitors continue to implode. If we do manage promotion they can't touch us ( if found guilty ) until we drop back to the championship. Game on. If Bournemouth go down this year will the EFL act on their FFP breach from their promotion season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb n Custard Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 As I understand it yes. By all accounts that's when their powers over clubs are reinstated and they can retrospectively punish for historic 'wrong doings' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we still be entitled to 3 years of parachute payments., I’m nominating you to join our negotiating team. Its that sort of constructive thinking we need. Careful of the “We’ve broke the rules, we have to be punished” self righteous brigade though, you’ll be on their black list in no time: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Lets hope there is no points deduction this season and then we get promoted. EFL can't give us a sanction of points deduction and fine if we are in the premier league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Hopefully because all 24 clubs currently in the EFL championship are forming a premiership 2 and the others two leagues are forming premiership 3 and 4. If we do get points taken off us know in luck it will be at the last second. Edited January 14, 2020 by Owls_fan_since_1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Had a horrible dream last night that we got to the play off final and lost on penalties. The next day the EFL announced we would be starting the season on -21 points. Felt very relieved when I woke up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only gave Portsmouth one because they had no other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pussface Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I was going to pour another one out tonight for the Bolton fans, who when in the EPL lorded it over us when we had Megson in League 1 and are now themselves bottom of it. I'll wait till this judgement blows over first... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
