SwellOwl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Is there one? When is it likely to be held? I’m expecting the deducted points to be cleared because we don’t concede goals anymore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You big tease. Saving those question marks for the payoff in the post itself rather than in the title. No idea when the appeal will be heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 IF we are lucky it might get reduced to 9 or even 6 points but I can't see us getting off scot free. As you can see it's a pretty big "if". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtawnyowl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Considering our start to the season I think any reduction, even only three points would be a great help. If the appeal reduces the penalty by six points (or more) I'll start counting my winnings. I've backed us to win the league with a +26 points start at 14/1.

Not the extent to which we’re guilty (eg how much over the limit we were) And there’s statements in there from our own auditor saying if they had more info they wouldn’t have signed it off.

WalthamOwl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It would be brilliant to even get a couple of points taken off the -12 punishment. I may be wrong though but I thought the -12 was a sliding scale punishment for the amount we went over FFP? How can that change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT the penalty should have been applied to the correct season not held over in order to create as much damage as possible! therefore our appeal should centre on it being back dated to the correct period and that table amended to read “ * minus 12 points “ you never know the panel might look kindly on us .... maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Nick Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 -12. I think that's how it'll stand, post appeal. It's going to be a long. tough season, so let's give it back to them, ten times over. So far, SWFC is doing just that, and the Players seem to have an "attitude" this Season. Don't expect anything good to come of the appeal, it's politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It'll be a waste of time. I'm not being overly negative here, but it's just that there's just no scope for a reduction of the points deduction. The ‘mitigating circumstances’ of them not being applied to the correct season aren't going to help us one bit because the only alternative conclusion is that yes, we're guilty of the charges, but because the punishment wasn't applied when it ought to have been, we're allowed to ‘get away with it’ (from their point of view). You get these bizarre perversions of justice in the law counts with criminal cases because the law courts are also preoccupied with ensuring the fundamental legitimacy of the legal system. The arbitration panel never had such oversight in the first place, and all they seemingly had the will (and probably the remit) to do is apply rules as they'd been applied before with some kind of consistency, that is, they're not going to apply rules or punishments that didn't hitherto exist. Let's just focus on the season as it currently stands with the points deduction of -12 as it is. Ultimately, that unwavering focus will be worth far more to us come the end of the season than any potential reduction that we'll almost certainly not get. It's just a costly distraction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect anything good to come of the appeal, it's politics. We won’t get it reduced. I don’t think there’s anything in the rules that allow for that in our circumstances. However the rules do state that the punishment should be applied in the season following the breach. The reason it wasn’t was purely down to the EFLs investigation. I would be arguing that applying it two seasons later is not allowed and therefore should be overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but their argument will be that the breach wasn't discovered until last season, which is on the EFL, but since when does the "governing body" of English Football become accountable for being incompetent and not fit for purpose? You're right though, the -12 will stand, and the governing body will remain in place. That's ok, SWFC has, in 2 League matches, already knocked it down to -8.
