Hopefully learning from previous mistakes. But with a few better players than that we started this period with. Maybe we wont lose as much but still very likely to have significant losses next season. Players like Westwood and Rhodes still under contract next season. I hope we have a few better players then we started with but with our track record of recruitment I cant say I am that confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 2 minutes ago, steelcityowlsfan said: It’s an absolutely ridiculous ruling whether clubs agreed to it or not. We are not in any debt to creditors like previously. One man is funding is with his own money and is prepared to keep doing so. The short sightedness of the EFL is incredible. If they had any duty of care for clubs they would make sure owners have to put a bond on clubs so they couldn’t leave clubs with huge debts like Bolton had. Not to mention a salary cap is needed and the scrapping of parachute payments. But hey other clubs smell blood so let’s jump on that and pretend it’s all in the best interests of the league. we should ask SKY for OUR parachute money, did they overlook it?

FreshOwl Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 27 years being miserable supporting this club. 5% highs 95% misery. Didn’t even know we were playing against Luton until the 60th min and no idea who we’ve got this weekend. Done with it all tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If we do get a deduction, I would love it, LOVE IT, Keegan style, if we beat Middlesbrough on the final day to lift ourselves to 4th bottom and relegate them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thing is...they better get this sorted pretty quickly. Be slightly farcical if say there are 3 games to go or something and they hit us with a 12 point deduction. Whole thing is a shambles from us to the EFL.

HarrowbyOwl Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 12 minutes ago, September65 said: The lack of information on how long this process is going to take is ridiculous. You can argue the club, by counter-threatening the EFL, has contributed to this. But it's still completely arbitrary as far as I can see. Why can't the EFL confirm the date they will announce the decision? Why does it take so long? There don’t appear to be any guidelines on the timeframe for EFL arbitration cases. For FA Rule K arbitration there is an expectation that a hearing will be held within 17 weeks of commencement. If, as Biggsy tweeted a couple weeks ago, the hearing is expected at end Feb then things have moved pretty quick. It was 27 December that the club announced that they were bringing an arbitration case against the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 There's nothing new here apart from maybe the point that the ruling will come before the end of the season, but even that looks like conjecture rather than fact. This reads like a planted story to remind everyone how terrible we are and to keep this story high up on the news agenda to keep the pressure up for a significant punishment. Now, what sort of curly haired smoggy crybaby would go squealing to the media about other clubs conduct...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should keep the EFL happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True or not I'm holding on with hope. Tbf why would we be punished when they say yep can sell then punish for selling it's wrong all wrong They said extra information became available.

WalthamOwl Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Isn’t it flippinggreat being a Wednesday supporter at the minute. Personally will be very surprised if they don’t charge us and dock us a big number of points. Makes this pathetic point return since Christmas even more annoying because we could be desperate for points to keep up up. Tw@ts.

camffiti Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Judging from EFL track record ... The points deduction will be announced near the end of the season So they know how many points they need to deduct, to fit whatever punishment they deem fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we asked for the same to happen to Derby, Reading or Aston Villa - who all have sold their stadium in a similar fashion? I'm not aware that we have, but I could have missed something.
