TodwickOwl Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday's legal fight with the EFL over breaching financial rules set to start on Tuesday. Hearing brought forward amid concerns from rival clubs. #swfc strenuously deny the charge Sheffield Wednesday's legal fight with the English Football League will start on Tuesday, in a potentially significant development for the Championship season. Wednesday's battle with the EFL over charges of breaching Profitability & Sustainability rules is being heard by an independent disciplinary commission this week, after the dispute was brought forward following complaints from a number of rival clubs. The Championship club were initially expected to appear in front of the three-man panel in July but it is understood proceedings will now begin on Tuesday, with the complexity of the case ensuring it is likely to last for the rest of the week.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) If that’s right it looks like they want us charged before the season finishes. As in hit us with a points deduction. Feels like they’ve got us in their sights now. Edited June 22, 2020 by York_Owl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I wonder what the format is going to be, how long it's going to take, how many days/weeks it will go on for? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sort of deduction leaves us in deep excrement. A suspended points deduction would be a good outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's a tricky one If they let us off with a smack on the wrist then ultimately nobody's got hurt at all and things could just go back to business as usual But if they do let us off it will leave the door wide open for other clubs to try doing what we've been accused of and more mess later down the line 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course we are innocent of all charges as Mr C seems to think we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Mr C has a good legal team, a real one, not a DC Taxi type firm. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJMortimer Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 To be fair, the league really should have shown more urgency to start with given the ramifications, but having decided to delay it's strange that they've allowed their order of business to be dictated by a few clubs. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Oh fizz. Any points deduction of 9 points or more and we are down. What a crap situation we are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Not forced to mean a bad outcome. The EFL need it done and dusted because it will cause them massive issues if it is still outstanding when clubs are relegated. They just need it finished . What about Derby, or are they in the clear now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
