Jim Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 18 minutes ago, Inspector Lestrade said: The feeling is growing that the decision has been given and found against us and that DC is now going through the appeal process. Reason for this feeling is the time taken to announce the outcome. And why because of the time that it is taking, it’s because it’s gone against us? It could be because the EFL are going to have to turn around to Mr Gibson and say ‘Sorry Steve, you’re going to have to stay up on merit?’ Also there is a good chance that a team of joiners are on standby to widen the letterbox at EFL HQ to cope with the flood of letters expected from Barnsley should the case has gone Wednesday’s way?

Could easily be rubbish, but just putting it out there. I think some people forget we are dealing with a very unconventional Chairman here.

Guest Mcguigan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 30 minutes ago, striker said: Why is everyone so sure we'll be found to have breached the regulations and deducted points? The EFL set out the charge as follows; The charges are in respect of a number of allegations regarding the process of how and when the stadium was sold and the inclusion of the profits in the 2017/18 accounts. The transaction was lawful, not uncommon to structure property transactions in this way. Furthermore the EFL accept delayed payments for other transactions, i.e player purchases. Therefore reasonable to rely on the information provided by EFL giving permission for the transaction and account for income and expenditure accordingly. The onus is on EFL to prove we've not adhered to P&S rules, unlikely unless they successfully argue that the stadium sale be ignored, on what grounds? Or, that we've deliberately mislead in our accounts, also unlikely given the other charges were dropped, without merit. The longer it goes, the less likely EFL to prove their case, or at least have significant mitigation in our favour. It is strange that a verdict has not been announced, maybe there is a material link to the ongoing Derby case, which may otherwise prejudice that hearing? Not sure the EFL would allow the fee of a clubs most valuable player, sold in the 18/19 season, to be included in the previous season's accounts just so they can try to comply with P&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Whether guilty or not, it does nothing to alter the fact we are a poorly run club stumbling head on into another EFL sanction and/or years of austerity. We may indeed win the battle but the war looks lost regardless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat blondeau Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 12 minutes ago, sonofbert2 said: Huddersfield spent more than us the year they went up. Just as one example. People keep citing Brentford but their stadium is prime real estate which is why they’ve sold it and moved to a new one at the side of the railway tracks. I’ve picked those two examples and ignored both those clubs with parachute payments and other easier examples. This is NOT about the way the Chairman has run the club but it’s about unfair rules and limits that were set in 2014. The Championship in its present form is unsustainable for the vast majority of clubs unless you have parachute payments or strike lucky. You sure Huddersfield spent more than us that year? I can’t remember them having any big earners in their side. Are you including the promotion bonuses they paid out in their spending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made absolutely no sense! Not to mention the club policy of once a player gets into the last 12 months of his contract he is not allowed to play. Westwood, Hutch, Winnall, Abdi, Boyd, Jones, Matias, Rhodes to name a few that have spent more time sat in the stands not playing than on the pitch playing in the last 2 seasons.

Here we don't have any fridges, it's the shop across the road that doesn't have any washing machines". Imagine if todays Russia was the only advert for Democracy. It might not have been Communism at fault but the way Russians did it. Just saying.. Forget China etc... Edited July 14, 2020 by Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
