Ours are so short for the league position we are in. Do the bookies know something or is it just a case of covering their backs incase of a deduction? I’d say the latter. Nobody has a clue what the EFL are doing, and that includes the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 2/1 to go down ...not short at all very very generous.. After all we are getting 12 points minimum deducted nailed on..say some... Lump on I say Though the bookies ain't got a tw@tting clue. If they had we would be 1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Lets be fair, even despite our poor form since Christmas we are not going to get relegated unless we get a points deduction. Should the EFL deduct us points then we are in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 must get a win tomorrow then on Thursday EFL announce, no points deduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Win tomorrow and I think we are just about safe even with a 12 point deduction as we'd be 13 points clear of Barnsley and we have better GD than Wigan, Luton and Barnsley. Another draw or two from last 4 games and think we'd be fine, Barnsley have a horror run in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Is it definite Wigan will get the 12 point deduction this season (as long as they aren’t in the bottom 3 without one)? Edited July 7, 2020 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 When you think about it. In a league where over the last few seasons about 45 points has been enough to stay up. We had nearly 40 points going into Christmas and we are still pooing it over relegation. It's been a vile 2020. Even for our millenially cursed club. Absolute ******** season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wigan finish above third from bottom, the 12 points is deducted this season. If Wigan finish in the bottom three, they start next season on -12. If they can muster a three wins out of the final games, they could be deducted points and still stay up. Good luck to them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's done. Most Championship review shows already have updated tables with them bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a 12 point deduction they have some winnable games so could stay up anyway imo. According to the EFL statement today the penalty will apply this season unless they finish in the bottom 3 anyway. So assuming you take 12 off them they are 14 behind us so would need to win 5 of their remaining games to catch us, they also have Barnsley, Luton and I think someone else below us to play so all of them can’t get the points. Plus it’s not just the 3rd bottom team that has to get the points to catch us, it’s the other 6 teams between us as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Only thing disappointing about the Wigan points deduction is that it gives Boro a bit more breathing space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 10/11 points clear of Barnsley/Luton who have 4 games left and a much worse goal difference. 14 points clear of Wigan after their deduction applied. That's how we stand, bar any further interference from EFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
