If they announce ours and it relegates us but fail to deal with Derby in time then that would show them to be highly incompetent. Can't see that happening can you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so if Derby get promoted. Theres 3 clubs with charges against them which could relegate 2 of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a decision was announced on the latest Brum charge, long after both us and Derby had received our charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 How bad are the EFL ...their own rules have totally fùcked clubs over and cleary it needs a desperate reform yet here we are awaiting our fait because of them! Derby could get promoted and theirs could be dealt before they kick a ball ala Swindon Town back in 90? Total mess this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what Monk said today it seems like the club are still waiting for a verdict.

Big Jack Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 IF they are going to announce after the Derby hearing , then that wont be over until end of season, so any penalties would be applied for next season. Its a mess and it appears the biggest issues for the EFL is they really dont like the clubs selling stadiums to get round P&S rules. So clubs found a loophole in their rules, so in essence they created the bloody problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I’m a bit concerned that the Derby case is going ahead next week. The perceived wisdom seemed to be that if we were successful defending our position and avoiding a points deduction, then the case against Derby would be dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If they stopped the failure payments then clubs in the championship wouldn't have to look for loopholes to get round FFP. This entire farce is of the EFL 's own making. If they tried looking at what is causing clubs to bend the rules instead of punishing clubs for doing so, then maybe they eould avoid all these court cases and tribunals. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
