WalthamOwl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Will put a lot more pressure on Monk. If he hasn’t picked up results early on surely DC won’t wait around to long before replacing him. Actually it’s DC I’m talking about so he probably will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsteel89 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 not the best news but lets face it 21pts at the start of next season was on the cards like it or not, and that would have been a death sentence next season and set the club back even more, 12 points would only take a modest improvement, and we are finally free to resume a sensible transfer policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 We should be relegated go to league one and start again, -12 points ? No point whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Going to be interesting how long it takes us to make our next signing and the quality of that signing. I can’t imagine it’s going to be easy to get decent players to agree to come to us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point whatsoever you would rather us have been relegated now than have a chance to survive next season with a 4/5 point improvement on last? Come on pal.. we would need about 63 points, hardly out of our capabilities with a few decent signings Edited July 31, 2020 by keepitsteel89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point whatsoever I don’t know, when you think it is only 4 wins before we are back to 0 points. Obviously with the form we have shown since Christmas that doesn’t sound like it will happen in a hurry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) The mad thing is if the season had finished on lockdown, no restart and the final table was decided after 37 games like leagues 1 & 2. We could have taken 12 point deduction then and we wouldn't have been relegated. We would have finished fourth from bottom 1 point above the relegation place.

Outside of sitting there smug and telling people you were right and they were wrong. You giving yourself a big pat on the back (well done you) atm is going to change the sweet sum of f all. Sorry to ******** on your chips. It was hard, what with you being up there on the high horse. Makes a bit of difference because the fan base is still divided? We still have fans like casbah backing DC and calling other fans bed wetters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppers Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So we will be 12 points off automatic promotion. I’d take that at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humility costs now? Practice what you preach. Whereas you telling me I'm somehow getting off to what's happening to the club I support and getting all high-horsy about it isn't remotely confrontational or belittling at all... You're right.

HarrowbyOwl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 1 hour ago, WalthamOwl said: If we appeal and lose could we then be docked more points than -12? Do we have anything to lose by appealing? There are 2 types of appeal. (I) Set the original decision aside and have the case re-heard; (ii) argue that the decision was made in error, rendering it null and void. In the first type there’s the danger that the arbitration panel who would hear the disciplinary appeal may award a stricter sanction. Any appeal is also expensive if you lose. Reports say that the Wigan appeal is costing 400-500k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who we will sign in the future but we have freed up alot of capital and I know DC will invest every penny he can, because so far he has, misguided as its been 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still in the championship next season, 12 points is 4 games out of 46. Who in their right mind expected us to challenge for promotion next season?. If you cant take it and decide to not support the Owls, then that is your choice, I will stay with them. Eh where have I said I'm not going to support them anymore? I like your optimism with 12 points is only 4 wins. On our form in 2020 that will take half the season to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry if I upset you, only pointing out that every one has the right to not go to the games if they are concerned about how the club is being run. .
