Game has gone I can see no other outcome to this if wigan or us gets relegated by an imposed penalty but as we never get penalties we'll get off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately your proposed system is too transparent for the EFL and many clubs to agree to. Thanks, I might put together a detailed proposal and send it off to the EFL along with my CV. Quite fancy a new job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see what relevance Derby’s case has to ours to need a joint decision/announcement EFL are passing buck here, there’s a reason for the delay and they arnt prepared to tell anyone Is it because they've lost? Put it this way I don't think they would be so quiet should they have won? I've been relatively confident from the moment Gibson sacked Woodgate, it suggested an admission that they were in trouble and had to get out of it through their own steam?

WalthamOwl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Surely the only team that will appeal if we don’t get deducted enough points to send us down will be the team that finishes 3rd from bottom? I hope that isn’t Barnsley, they need to finish bottom or 2nd from bottom so they don’t have a leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The more this goes on the more I feel any adverse decision would be applied for next season. would it be reasonable to deduct points on the eve of the final game? Or the day of the final game? Or after the final game has been played? In a question of reasonableness, the EFL have left it too late to apply a deduction this season. That is my thoughts any way.

Game has gone Not wired up right , I confess, because I always thought football was decided on the pitch, no I would not be angry , no more when Swindon were denied promotion. etc If football is decided by this way then I m off, the shambles lies with the authorities end of.

Big Jack Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Do the EFL respect their own so called "independent " panel if they just appeal if it does not go their way. That just makes a mockery out of the process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite fancy a new job. Good luck on the interview, I went for a job there once but didn't get it. A panel of three people interview you over the course of a few days and weeks. One is the bloke who is also wants the job, one is the Football League representative, and the other is yourself a la Red Dwarf judgement. All 3 have to approve you to get through to the next round, I only got 1 in 3 approval. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I haven't heard anything from Div 1 & 2 clubs about next season which is strange because I would have thought it would be panic stations with such a short turnaround until the next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous it certainly is, China and Russia must be impressed with the security. Not one word leaked. MI5 and MI6 could learn from the EFL.

nbupperthongowl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The question is when will this season end, it's not going to be on Wednesday night....it won't be until Derby, Wigan and our cases are heard and any appeals heard, could be September Imagine thinking that you have stopped up (eg. Luton) for one of the clubs to win their appeal and you to be relegated after you have built a championship club and spent your £s, meaning that you will breach FFP next year in league one and probably receive a points penalty after you have been promoted This will never end if it is taken into next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My theory is they agreed on a points deduction but did so on the basis that we’d gain enough points in the remaining fixtures so the agreed deduction doesn’t send us down. But because we’re so crap that agreed deduction now could relegate us and the panel/EFL don’t know what to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
