Hughdowd Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 IF......we don’t get a points deduction......Luton / Barnsley/ Hull/Wigan are all playing each other and ...Wigan’s deduction ....52 points should be enough !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I suspect that if we had lost we would have heard by now. Probably lawyers from EFL looking over the outcome and considering whether an appeal is worth it. That's my gut feeling, no doubt we will find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the likes of Barnsley and Steve Gibson have apparently threatened the EFL with legal action, I personally don’t think this is as “independent” as it’s claimed to be. I’m no expert but I can’t see them taking legal action against the independent panel if they’re not happy with the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were only threatening this if the issue wasn’t sorted this season. If it is , and we win, they can’t do anything about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I suppose wouldn’t be our problem. One thing which is for certain is that it’s all one big mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we've lost & the EFL are waiting for our lawyers so that the EFL & us can publish a atement at the same time. At the end of the day we don't definitely know that the hearing has finished & a decision made by the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way, we won’t appeal and cause them even more headaches. Far fetched I know, but this is the EFL so who knows. According to sky sports after the game today, he said the hearing had finished and were just awaiting the verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
