Watching the game back to see where we went wrong. The lay off can only be a good thing for us. Edited May 30, 2020 by pazowl55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you think we won’t get charged because the charges against the 3 individuals where dropped? Weve been charged. I dont think we will get found guilty of the charge by the independent commission because: 1. The evidence looks to be in our favour at least in terms of the burden of proof. 2. The track record of our QC 3. The fact that EFL simply appear to be continuing with this because they will be sued by other EFL teams if they dont prosecute to follow their own process. 4. The charges against the individuals were stupid and probably shows the level of competence of the EFL. We could of course still lose but that wouldn't be the smart bet at this stage imo. In terms of points deductions the most we would be likely to get is 9. There are no aggravating circumstances now the individual charges are dropped. There is a high likelihood that it will be less and also as we have no previous, some may be suspended. I would bet on 6 with 3 suspended. So that's why I think like I do. Might well be wrong but I'd like to see the reasoning behind the other point of view that its definitely going to happen and its 9 or more. Not betting against a relegation battle whatever happens though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not betting against a relegation battle whatever happens though! I guess the reason I fear it could be more is because Birmingham got 9 points for their FFP situation. You would think selling the ground at possibly an over inflated price and putting it in the wrong years accounts to help us with FFP would be seen as worse than what Birmingham did. Who knows though with the EFL do agree with a lot of what you said above especially the track record of our QC, he sounds like one of the best at what he does.

the third man Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 As the season would have finished last Monday I think we have an argument to say that any punishment would be for next season not this. unless we get a punishment this season that wont relegate us, perhaps there could be an agreement that we accept a punishment this season that wont relegate us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not holding my breath mind Yep I see the examiner feel it should be a similar line up too. Cue Nuhiu and Pelupessy making the startling line up in the first game back https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/fernando-forestieri-sheffield-wednesday-team-18333173.amp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping you and the examiner are right tho with the 442 and the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Being pessimistic if we carry on in the same form as when we left off, I can't see us winning a home game, maybe a couple of draws Home: Nottm. F West Brom Preston Huddersfield T Middlesbrough Same away, it looks bad. Away: Bristol City Swansea C. QPR Fulham It's frightening that going from looking at a possible automatic promotionspot when 3rd at the start of Boxing Day, in the space of 10 weeks to now worrying about possible relegation.
