Brammie Steve Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 So that's Brum and Bolton facing a 12 points penalty. Burton would've stayed up last season with a little help from the FA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB_DCFC Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Administration confirmed by their chairman then. Bolton will be on -1 by tomorrow it seems. Something you never like to see. After such a good start to the season as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Always sad news to see that. Bolton is a proper decent club as well, decent away day and great fans. One of my preferred teams in the league, when they’re not playing us of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 So thats Bolton and possibly Birmingham to have a points deduction, can't help but feel the system is choosing this year's relegation teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Saying they will be saved from administration but does this mean they won’t face the points deduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ridiculous how the EFL have now just started threatening with the 12 point deductions where ever they please. The rules NEED to be clearer for the future, clubs are just making a mockery of the whole system at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changed this season, giving the EFL more power and being able to give higher punishments, and earlier, to clubs that break the FFP rules. Hopefully this will prevent clubs going up before the the EFL have chance to put in place a proper punishment, like with Leicester, Bournemouth and QPR.

And that’s how they end up in this situation. well, I remember Bolton not being very welcoming of Derby County in the Premier League, their fans distinctly being very disrespectful to our club as if they were some sort of big team/club. Now you'll very very rarely hear me say anything about clubs and their fans in a derogatory way, not even the likes of F*rest, but as far as I am concerned, their struggles are deserved. Eat some humble pie. The only thing I like about them is Phil Parkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 If Bolton had been throwing money around like us, Villa, etc then I could understand. They've just tried to survive in this league. I could be wrong, but I think they spent less than £500k of the £6m they received for Madine. If the regulations are in place to protect clubs, truthfully I really don't see how a 12 point deduction, effectively a death sentence for them, is about the league caring about their fans and the future of the club. If anything it puts them in further turmoil & ironically FFP could be the reason one of the founding members of the league dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
