BIG D Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Bristol Post https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/barnsley-chief-threatens-efl-slams-4339318 Barnsley chief threatens EFL and slams 'cheating’ Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City Barnsley co-chairman Paul Conway has slammed the English Football League for their inability to regulate Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City, labelling their actions as 'cheating'. The Championship relegation picture remains unclear with two matches left to play this season. Derby and Sheffield Wednesday are still awaiting the verdicts from their trials over financial misconduct charges, with both clubs vigorously denying the charges, which could lead to a points deduction of up to 21 points. Equally, Birmingham were found guilty of breaching an EFL financial plan early this year, upon appeal, although no sanctions were issued. With Wigan Athletic also facing a deduction of 12 points for entering administration, the final league standings could yet look very different despite there being less than a week to run of the normal season. It was reported earlier this year that Barnsley, who sit bottom of the Championship and on the brink of an immediate return to League One, were prepared to sue the EFL for loss of earnings, if the outstanding legal cases against Wednesday and Derby are not concluded. Conway has reiterated that the club remains committed to that stance, whilst blasting the EFL for their inability to exact correct punishment for those found guilty of breaching financial regulations. "You have scam stadium deals, fake sponsorship contracts, delinquent financials, not paying players on time, huge debts and no action," Conway told The Telegraph. "It’s really not good for English football and not encouraging investment. ‘If little old Barnsley and its supporters have to lead the way to clean up English football then we’ll do it by any means necessary. If that has to be litigation, so be it." He added: "We’ve invested in four football clubs in four countries, and been at the highest level in the Champions League, and frankly England is the worst place to operate. "Many teams cheat and the league is so weak enforcing its own rules. In most other leagues, not paying players on time is automatic relegation. Administration in France and Spain is relegation by two divisions. "In England, teams like Derby and Wigan, maybe even Sheffield Wednesday, don’t pay their players [on time] and they don’t receive any penalties. "A serial offender in Birmingham were found guilty again and what was their punishment? Nothing. "The whole purpose of the league is to prevent sporting advantages that are unfair. The division is incredibly close and any sporting advantage has a huge impact." Bristol City's CEO Mark Ashton also sits on the EFL board and the Robins have maintained they are in favour of greater financial governance that enables more clubs to be run in a sustainable fashion. The club support the idea of a salary cap, or "wage control" as the concept tends to be labelled in football with discussions to be held later this month over an £18m limit for 2020/21.

SiJ Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 My theory: We shouldn't have backdated the stadium sale. However, the EFL approved the accounts and ok the transaction. There is no *new* information, just the EFL realising they didnt do their job properly and others kicked off about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scam stadium sales and fake sponsorship contracts. I think he has summed it up perfectly to be honest. Selling something to yourself is not a sale and setting up companies who don't even trade, earn any money or sell any goods then claim they "pay" for sponsorship is downright taking the p155. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Might be wrong, but Barnsley's moaning and talk of a wage cap, could see P&S as it is crumble after us and Derby prevail. Just a hunch. Edited July 18, 2020 by striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
