EcclesallOwl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) EFL statement for anyone that wants it The League continues to receive questions on a regular basis in respect of updates to ongoing proceedings involving the EFL and its member Clubs. We recognise the desire amongst stakeholders, not least from our own members, but also their respective supporters and representatives of the media, for clarity on the current position. At the point a Club is charged with misconduct, it is referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission and from that point onwards, the format and timing of the proceedings are controlled by that of the Independent Commission. Our stated position and the policy agreed with our Clubs is that we do not pass any comment on these individual matters, other than to confirm the charges at the outset and the subsequent outcomes. The EFL is committed to announcing any final outcome promptly following notification of the decision by the relevant Independent Disciplinary Commission, giving consideration to the issues raised above and in accordance with its regulations. Independent Disciplinary Commissions are well aware of the challenges for any Club that is subject to proceedings, and the need for clarity for financial and operational planning purposes, particularly ahead of the summer transfer window opening later this month. In addition, there is also the consequential impact to consider on how any decisions may affect other Clubs within a division who require the same courtesy to plan with as much certainty as is practically possible. Equally, there are the operational pressures this presents the EFL, in areas such as fixture scheduling in the event any decision(s) change a divisional line-up. In the specific case of Wednesday evening’s final round of Championship matches for season 2019/20, and any potential impact on divisional standings, relegation will be confirmed for the Clubs in 22nd, 23rd and 24th positions in the Championship table following the conclusion of those matches and will be subject to the resolution of any ongoing proceedings. In the case of Wigan Athletic the 12-point sporting sanction, as a result of the Club entering administration, will apply immediately following the end of the game against Fulham but is subject to appeal. Nevertheless, the primary objective of any Independent Disciplinary Commission is to deal with cases expeditiously and fairly. We will be providing no further comment on any ongoing proceedings at this time. Edited July 20, 2020 by EcclesallOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ours potentially carries over to next season? Am I right in thinking if Wigan are more than 12 above the drop zone the points come off next season? If so we should be willing them on. If ours are coming off next year we'll need as much help as we can get. Let's hope Derby get stung next year as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard on Sky about that. No mention of any cases other than Wigan but that the Wigan deduction will be applied but can be appealed. Not sure their owners would appeal if the alleged reasons for them putting the club into admin have any foundation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 9 hours ago, Manwë said: They aren't the ones deciding the outcome of the case, the independent panel are. Derby County are up before a panel too, yet have an Exec on the EFL board. You couldn't make it up. In any process legal etc, no way can you have anyone connected to the person or organisation sitting in judgement. We should have requested Howard Wilkinson got a seat on the committee. The whole process and governance is like amateur hour. Not what you expect from a business that generates 100s of millions of pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
