It would still have been irresponsibility of the grandest scale with no regard for those tens of thousands of us invested in the club's welfare, reputation and status. Not if he wins. We start the next three years showing money to spend. And the only one out of pocket will be DC with his £57M loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my understanding - looks like a good outcome now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Throw the whole case in the bin we don’t know what we’re doing, the EFL seem to have no idea too. If they had anything of substance on us surely the process would be much further down the line by now Edited March 10, 2020 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they'd be campaigning quite so hard if we were on 75 points? Middlesbrough were angry last season when Derby and us were pushing for the play offs.

Kopparberg Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If both sides are in the wrong, it’ll be interesting to see if it’s thrown out or an agreed points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The only people who are prepared to accept a deduction and / or relegation, despite the ongoing case, are clearly people who are already anti DC. Who want him teaching a lesson & punishing for his mistakes in the past. I get that, up to a point. But, this directly punishes the club we all support, and we all suffer, as a result. So, I'm all for fighting it until the death. Relegation won't get rid of DC. He'll struggle even more to find a buyer. Can't people see this? We'll lose tv money & fail to attract any quality players to replace the out of contract exodus. If the EFL charges are deemed unlawful, they've dropped a right clanger. Let's hope they are. We survive this season and start the next one on zero. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastermind Only Connect University Challenge Monday afternoon - Round Britain Quiz, Radio 4 - but I podcast that, listened today. But I did swap over to watch bits of Leicester v Villa. What were you doing? Fixing someone’s phone? Only Connect gives me a headache, delighted if I get 1 or 2 right before the last round! Bit of a University Challenge expert though!

Brutal! She proper made us laugh with ‘the more I hear about that guy...’ Hitler thing. Will have a listen to the Round Britain Quiz, cheers. only on Owlstalk could a thread about ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ and Radio 4 podcasts run concurrently with a debate on points deductions. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article suggests we would have fallen into the -12 points bracket and unfortunately we'd have still been racking up the rolling 3 year losses without some form of huge income.

mattitheowl Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 1 hour ago, DJMortimer said: We're becoming one of those grubby clubs that I was always glad we weren't. Pushing the rules to their limits, being unco-operative, not holding ourselves to a higher standard. What a shameful episode in the club's history that at the moment looks likely to result in relegation. Incompetence of the most heinous kind. Some good it did us! Just not bothered...

Weird. I’d settle for a 9 point deduction and Chansiri getting banned. That way we can still avoid relegation. Some people might think that would also give us a fighting chance of ridding ourself of a bloke who is potentially highly detrimental to our future. I couldn’t possibly comment.

The only way is S6 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We usually get about 2 questions right during Only Connect. Get a few more in the general knowledge section of Mastermind. And less on UC. It always tickles me when someone gets about 4 right on their specialist subject on MM. I get the impression they just revised a bit on the bus going there. ps Victoria Coren - Mitchell is bloody lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
