WIGAN Relgated


Recommended Posts

It was never going to be overturned or reduced. 
 

99% of clubs that have ended up in Admin it’s been because the owner mismanaged the situation at some point. The detail in Wigan’s case does make the punishment seem incredibly harsh but the EFL, as much as I dislike them, don’t have the resources to forensically look into each case and reach an ‘appropriate’ punishment.

 

The rule on Admin is the rule, unfortunately.

like ive said before..all the EFL have to do is demand a bond thats worth more than the deliberate dismantling of the said club is.

That bond is forfeit if the owners mismanage the club ..That would stop any assett stripping....

But the clubs have to vote in favour of that happening, which in turn means all the owners in the EFL agreeing to it.

 

Its the right thing to do, but it’d be like  turkeys voting for Christmas.

Be interesting to see if we going to appeal. Apparently Charlton have 9 clubs backing them.

 

whatever problems Charlton have, or think they have, can have no effect on us, the ruling is made and that's that

 

However we can appeal, and may do when we see why the ruling was made

Clubs could force a rule change possibly, but there's no way it could be applied retrospectively to a single club over a single issue, or even retrospectively at all.

It does look like the whole system needs a reset- from parachute payments, ‘Fair Play’, owner administration etc. 
 

a wage cap and owners personally responsible for all liabilities should solve it. If you’re over say 18m, then you’re over and you can’t sign anyone until you have room.

Neither us or the EFL have had the written report on the adjudication form the independent panel yet. Once us and them receive it we have 14 days to appeal. That means that if both parties received it tomorrow they'd have around 3 weeks to hear the appeal and adjudicate on the appeal. Sounds like classic stalling tactics by the EFL 😀

Will be interesting to dad it when it comes out as I can’t see why our deduction hasn’t been applied to the 2019/20 season.

No the payment the relegated clubs get for failure should be the FFP  figure for all the Championship clubs eg: £45M next season for Norwich et al

EFL look foolish for there lack of due diligence

Exactly.......the EFL ******** up big time.....and punish Wigan. Its laughable.

EFL simply arent fit for purpose. Id rather take the minus 12 this season, than next......but then whos next for minus 12??? Its only a matter of time until 3 or 4 clubs will be starting on minus 12

So the EFL are punishing a club that's gone into administration by a owner that the EFL passed on  'fit and proper person' test

 

Well done EFL

Feel for Wigan, terrible what’s happened to them because of their owners. On another note I wonder how long the Derby decision is going to take. Surely they won’t be let off? Perhaps we are waiting for their decision before we decide if we will appeal. 

No we are waiting for the full court ruling in writing to see if there are grounds to appeal, Derby's case has no bearing on ours whatsoever
