I would sooner it be automatic promotion for Wednesday to the premiershiip as we did not get a parachute payment when we got relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows but for what it’s worth I did hear a whisper DC was on his way to Sheffield this Afternoon EFL love a ‘no comment’ I would imagine if it went in our favour DC would be singing it from the roof tops asap. I don't have a good feeling about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the same on the internet. Forwarded the news to my mates who are Blunts, and they are getting all mardy about it. DC has pulled a blinder here. Can't believe I ever doubted him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been an agreement to withhold the EFL statement until the chairman returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs suggested there would be an initial Arbitration hearing. Maybe the arbitration hearing has been held & we are waiting for a further hearing where the Arbitration panel will give their decision.

Guest Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 None of this gives me any confidence that this will be settled this season , is there any bottom line decision that says we must be dealt with this season ? Way I see this .... if we lose Chansiri is gonna appeal , if we win the EFL is gonna appeal and Gibson will probably implode and try suing us at same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal implications are being brought about by the club regarding the process and how the club has been dealt with, this will be an arbitration hearing. Very likely we will hear what the punishment is then the club will put forward to arbitration. I maybe completely wrong with this, are there any sport legal eagles out there?

Very likely we will hear what the punishment is then the club will put forward to arbitration. I maybe completely wrong with this, are there any sport legal eagles out there? My understanding is the club have questioned the legality of the EFL's charges given that they had previously sanctioned the sale of the stadium & it's inclusion in the July 2018 accounts. The club & the EFL have agreed to take the legality issue to arbitration. As a result the EFL's disciplinary process against the club is on hold pending the outcome of the Arbitration Panel Hearing. If the Arbitration Panel decide that the charges are illegal then we have no case to answer, if they decide the charges are legal then the EFL's Disciplinary process will continue.

Call it a hunch, but I don't think Liverpool will be all too worried if by some miracle we get ourselves promoted. The likes of Newcastle, Villa and Everton are not much of a threat to the top 6 these days and all three, arguably, are bigger clubs that us. Yeah, Dem Blades are having a good season, but they are likely to slide back into mid-table mediocrity before too long. Things are a lot different to when we were last in the Premier League. For the most part, there is an absolute chasm between the top 6 and the rest. Edited February 17, 2020 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe clinging at straws BUT.. If the arbitration has concluded and a decision made surely there are two options: A) we have won and consequently his work for swfc is finished. B) we lost and we will have to defend the charges, wouldn't his work be still ongoing with us as likely would be involved in fighting the charges?
