Leeds Ram Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I can't see the EFL giving us a point deduction before the season is over. If they do then given our run of games left i think we'll be in real trouble with relegation staring us in the face. But, i just can't see them doing it.

A mate of mine tried to make out that a former winner of the European Cup even went down to that level! Well, I can tell you, once I'd stopped rolling around the floor laughing, I didn't half give him some stick! Absolutely the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard! As if!

Sith Happens Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Makes you wonder if there will even be an EFL next season if they deduct us points and we go down, by the time we have sued them and won, then the team who finish 3rd bottom sue ,because they were told they were staying up then told they are actually going down because we won, and win the coffers at the EFL could be a bit empty.

Why are you so confident we can beat the EFL in a legal case. I think they would’ve only brought charges with a strong case against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't end there... all those minnows sell thousands of extra season tickets, as there fans are excited about being able to welcome such a big club to their place, plus a massive day out at PPS. Those teams spend that extra income on better players/higher wages. We then win the appeal, and regain our championship standing, at the expense of 'Boro. All those little people demand refunds on their season tickets... understandably... and those clubs then also sue the EFL, as it puts them right up a financial Poo Creek without a paddle! I think it would be easier all round for the EFL just to take a step back, and leave us alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is and they have admitted errors on their part in signing off the stadium sale then we have a very solid case. I believe him as i dont believe he would have put out the statement if it wasnt true. I personally think the EFL are floundering and grabbing at straws because they know they are at fault for the situation and its either us or them (with Boro's threat to sue on the cards).

I did think it seems quite late, but Birmingham had their point deduction nearly a full month AFTER this point so it wouldn't surprise me. I don't envisage any way we go down without a heavy point deduction, I'm just not entirely sold that we're going to avoid one and it happen this season. The EFL's methods effectively helped kill a founding member of the football league, so I don't think we're going to receive special treatment - arguably the opposite. The situation is that the current point deduction could eventually save Middlesbrough - the club that tried to sue the football league into punishing us in the first place. It's poetic in a sick sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Derby will get a points deduction of minimum 9. I wouldn’t underplay this if I were Derby and that’s why they have hired a top QC . EFL could give us a points deduction and relegate Us no problem and in that case an appeal wouldn’t save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Although I would much prefer us not to get relegated, if it finally removes the sense of entitlement of a number of our fans ( either because they realise that we aren't or they bugger off!) then there would at least be a silver lining to the cloud.

Then if we appeal and win and it's too late it will cost the EFL tens of millions. Dangerous territory for them. One reason i think the panel will need to be seen to punish us to save the EFL blushes but only a slap on the wrists that will have no impact. It does stink though. Either mel/Derby are lying about the admission of errors by the efl, or the efl are corrupt. I know what i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
