The EFL have certainly been busy writing a lengthy update on th Wigan situation. https://www.efl.com/news/2020/july/efl-update-wigan-athletic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Just a thought, not knowledge based at all. Could it be they announce the outcome after the seasons concluded. With a 9/12 point deduction imposed next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ferkorf Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I genuinely believe its not concluded at all yet. Something like this is bound to drag on. Is it not a known fact we only gave our evidence last Thursday/Friday source Monks presser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a special atmosphere (Pre standing cages). Other than that Bochum more than 50 years ago. last two or three years a couple of visits to St Pauli. Lively bars and nightclubs draw partygoers to Reeperbahn, the main thoroughfare of St. Pauli’s raucous red-light district. Off the main street, theaters like Schmidts Tivoli and Operettenhaus present cabaret shows and musicals.Some great Curry houses, the nearby Karolinenviertel neighborhood is known for its hip local fashion boutiques and trendy cafes. Lined with fish restaurants, the St. Pauli Piers offer sightseeing boat tours. Of the Football it is a reasonable standard but like ours nothing special anywhere since a thorough sanitisation but I think Saint Pauli fans are real standout. I'd like to get to see the derby but chances are very remote. If you can pick the right match then Scotland away from the premier can provide some good entertainment. Yeah I’ve done Hamburg twice now and loved it, in fact it’s probably my favourite city I’ve ever been to as it’s got everything. Reeperbahn is interesting to say the least. From an atmosphere point of view it’s fantastic at all grounds. I make sure I get tickets in the standing sections when I go, only time I failed was Dortmund. When I went to watch Bremen they got pummelled by Monchengladbach but they fans sang from first whistle to last, apart from a 5 minute spell in the second half where they gave their board grief, didn’t understand a word but it sounded funny anyway with everyone in the ground pointing at the directors box. Düsseldorf is pretty amazing too and makes a great central location to travel to other grounds. Cologne was great. Freiburg was very much like York but wasn’t great for boozers as more of a locals place. It goes against popular opinion but I’d say Dortmund was probably the least I’ve enjoyed and the town is poo . Literally no point going there other than for the footie, if you do go then stay in Düsseldorf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) The longer these things take, the more incompetent EFL appear. Us, Derby, Wigan, Macclesfield all involved with EFL processes which will have a greater effect on the leagues than the football itself.

Crazy Maybe we (as in the club) do know the decision, but it’s not been announced publicly yet due to waiting on time period for appeals to be allowed......

I completely agree, but let's be honest these things aren't often straight forward, and clubs (or more specifically their legal teams) are always likely to drag things out for as long as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I really need to answer your first question?.....on the assumption that it’s genuine then the answer is, in the same numbers no....do you think we will get the same allocation at Burton, Accrington and Wimbledon that we would at Derby, Villa, Forest etc. Away support as you put it might not be a consideration......hard cash which will be the end result may well be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 9/12 point deduction imposed next season? Been saying this for ages, with an appeal likely from either side whatever the result, i cant see any punishment being applied this season, the timings wont fit plus this season should have been over nearly 2 months ago, so before the result would have been announced all teams should have planning for next season, so that's another reason to appeal any punishment applied this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 COVID-19 thread was averaging about 50 pages a day at one bit... Last time I looked it was around 2700 odd pages. Slowed down considerably, so I can't see it reaching 3000 pages. So this thread is really just a baby one, but with potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very interesting comment. So they know clubs are struggling because of the incredible financial bias towards to PL and its relegated clubs but they're going to punish clubs regardless. Just you watch, we'll get a huge points deduction and at the end of this season they'll soften their stance and stop dishing them out in future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if a judgement has been reached but the parties have agreed not to disclose it until such time that the losing party has had the opportunity to appeal the judgement? That would mean that finally when it is announced it will be the definitive judgement not subject to appeal with all the ongoing uncertainty that would bring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
