But, there’s a growing list of ‘mediocre teams’ (I mean in size, I’m not having a go) that make it to the Prem, take the millions then drop like a stone. Look at the bottom half of the championship.

Bradford thought it was a good idea to get players from a team that got relegated the season before. Pretty sure they took at least 3 off us. Bad business to recruit defenders from a team that couldn’t defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's always nice to get off with something that you weren't guilty of ....init.? They weren't supposed to sanction it. It was a mistake by the EFL and that is where we get lucky. Telling that apparently the person who sanctioned it left shortly after (if true, after all it came from an earlier post somewhere in this thread). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffed owl Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 So why haven't the EFL announced any punishment if any? What's the hold up and reasons behind it? Been thinking long and hard about this and have come to the conclusion that any points deduction, will not be announced until the season is over. Why? For the so called 'integrity' of the Championship. They want all teams to compete fairly on the pitch, they do not want teams fighting for their lives coming up against teams already on the beach. It seems that every day there is a game that can affect the relegation places from the Championship. If Wednesday are given a 12 point deduction now, how will that effect the players moral? How will teams like Boro, Birmingham and Huddersfield react knowing that they are virtually safe - especially if they're playing teams below them who aren't? And all three are playing Clubs below them in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
