WalthamOwl Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If we are found guilty why would they give a suspended points deduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirksandallowl Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Do we think the chairman would accept a relatively minor punishment that didn’t affect our league status (3 points say or a suspended deduction) in order to draw a line under the matter or would he continue to fight it so as not to lose face if he believes he’s done nothing wrong.

Because it's a grey area that has been exploited a loophole the EFL will then close. Think the EFL have made a mess of it, anyway will find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is certainly as good as it gets in his field, but if the evidence against us his strong then even he could struggle, and his talents may have been procured more as a means of damage limitation. Argue the case for mitigating circumstances, lack of clarity in the advice given to us by the ELF, push for a lenient punishment etc etc. Or as you say, he may have blown the opposition out of the water and we are in the clear. Let's be honest, he gets paid either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomas613 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 9 points max just like Birmingham otherwise appeal will already have biased rulings involved. So 9 max we stay up chansiri sticks middle finger up EFL @rse gives monk a war chest to get us up. Chansiri then sells us done and dusted. I cant see us getting a transfer ban otherwise we would have pulled all stops to keep fletcher and fox for numbers we cant manage next season on such a depleted squad so surely confident not a transfer embargo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the ground sale went into 17/18, and only just kept our heads above water. 18/19 could be the next hurdle to get over, even if we get off with the charge. We would also be daft to assume anything re a transfer embargo, as lawyers on each side will only have got a sense late last week how the verdict might go, once all the evidence had been submitted, and arguments made to the panel.

TrueOwl Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I think it's starting to look like we're staying up regardless of a points deduction so they'll probably just hit us with another transfer embargo which would hurt us significantly more.
