Growl67 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I can understand that there may be a possibility of something behind the scenes that has made it difficult to release a definitive decision by now. What I don’t understand is why there seems to be a complete news blackout on the matter from both parties. We get the odd snippet from journalists who would have us believe they’ve an idea what’s happening and when but I’m not convinced. Surely the EFL must have an idea when they will make their next statement and surely club must have contacted the EFL and asked them when it can expect the statement? If the EFL are playing silly beggars, would it really hurt the club if they confirmed to us fans that they’d heard absolutely nothing and that those who purport to be ITK are talking out of their backsides? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was so that a decision could be made by the end of the season but that clearly is not the case End of the season is the playoff final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why the Star haven't found out where the tribunal is, found out who is on it and done all the other things that real journalists in days gone bye used to do before googling was a 'thing' and if its not on google they cant be arsed to do it. I guess I do understand... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Do we have the possibility of a counter case here, adding to a delay? By that I mean could Mr Chansiri argue that with all this uncertainty impacting on the club and its staff, we have gone from 3rd and potential promotion to the Premier League, to mid-table in the Championship?

I think by the club saying the charges have no merit and will defend itself rigorously is the "counter case". And the next answer is, no its all Monks fault........... or summat.

Didn’t forestieri get charged with a 6 game ban for the racist incident at Mansfield around 13 months after the offence allegedly took place? Think this was a FA charge rather than the EFL but nevertheless another situation whereby a footballing body are dragging out the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Spoke to my cousin today about the case (he works in football finances, formerly of HMRC) and he reckons that EFL will wait until end of the season and then dock us as much as possible without relegating us - EFL don’t want an ongoing long case against rich owners if they can avoid it. Could be loads of rubbish tho Edited July 20, 2020 by Tony Pulis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I just don’t buy the notion that there hasn’t been a decision yet. More likely that there has and it has been appealed by one party, probably the EFL. I just don’t see us getting a points deduction this season that would relegate us. I hope that we find some clarity once all this has come out of the wash as I have absolutely no trust in this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
