I have a horrible gut feeling Sheff Weds are guilty and about to get a points deduction, the same as Derby and both will be announced at the same time. What a way to send a message out to clubs than to relegate two big championship clubs by hitting them with a big points deduction. Also if they hit two at the same time, neither club can claim they are being unfairly treated compared to other clubs. I'm just praying our defense is water tight. The max deduction they can give us is 21 points and whilst that would put us bottom as things stand it is highly unlikely they would do that even if we did lose. Some Shef Wed fans think they are getting a 15 point deduction. We aren't being charged with the same things as Shed Wed though. Just because they might be guilty doesn't mean we are. We'd then have 2 weeks to appeal. BBC is reporting Shef weds result is to be announced later this week. Hopefully ours isn't much longer so we can finally put it to bed.

As much as we may think the EFL don't like us, they will also realise that bigger clubs with a worldwide name such as Derby and Sheffield Wednesday are BETTER for the EFL/Championship than not being here. No disrespect to the likes of Luton or Wycombe but they aren't going to put the Championship on the world map are they... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 'global' presence is currently below Norwich and Bournemouth. Because we are in the EFL and they are not, so we don't get to play anyone the world is interested in.

I travel with work (well used to LOL), and when I discuss about football teams in the UK, most people have heard of Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest. They have not heard of Luton or Wycombe. My point is not about saying that Norwich and Bournemouth are not deserved of the Premier League - they absolutely are, but more that the Championship is broadcast to 42 different countries and the viewing figures will be considerably higher for Derby v Wednesday than they will be Wycombe verus Hull City.

The viewing figures for Derby v Wednesday are higher because they have big domestic followings. I'd doubt international figures would be significantly different for most teams in the efl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Time for the EFL to poo or get off the pot. Astounding the lengths they will go to in order to undermine their own league not to mention the costs they incur in doing so. Bunch of incompetent arses IMO.

DCFC1388 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not sure why people are comparing our case to Sheff Weds, theirs is completely different. Theirs is down to them selling the stadium in one financial year and recording it in a different financial year, ours is purely based on its valuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
