the third man Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 11 hours ago, ANDY said: It’s been explained why it’s next season. this season would have finished 3 months ago. The court case would have still been ongoing the decision would have been made at this time regardless. they couldn’t deduct us points from a season that had been finished and a new one all sorted regarding fixtures etc the only course of action was to deduct points for the up coming season. Been saying that myself since May But if that is true then Wigan have a defence as well, so expect legal action from them if they lose their appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In quite of lot of employment cases a company will agree an out of court settlement because it is cheaper than going to court, however they don't admit they were wrong, i don't know how much a court case would have cost but you talking thousands an hour for a full legal team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athelwulf Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The authorities don't deem our offence serious enough to relegate us outright this season. So we got a stay of relegation as a commuted sentence. Those other clubs who are affected by this decision have no games left to play, so whether the season's officially ended or not is irrelevant. We got enough points to stay up this season, Charlton didn't. Charlton were going down before, and they're going down now. Under their own steam.

The EFL can appeal the decision and the sanction imposed. Charlton, Wigan, Barnsley etc could all pressure the EFL to appeal and have the sanction apply to the current season.

theowlsman Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) If I was Charlton’s owner, I’d do the same. Our pre-season recruitment might be a bit slow whilst the mess we’re in gets more convoluted. I hope those young lads are up to overhauling those 12 points next season to keep us up else we’re going down anyhow.
