Derby county, Sheffield Wednesday, notts forest, Stoke city, Birmingham city, - just need a couple more - Coventry city will have supporters when they are back in Coventry and for our holidays we could include Sunderland - I bet we would even get a better TV deal I love the idea of taking a holiday in Sunderland.

It really isn't. Their punishment was decided in December 2019 (well before the end of the playing season), points were deducted, they appealed and got a reduction. Some points deductions were suspended should they repeat their misdemeanor later down the line (which they did, and they were). Different charges, different penalties. We haven't even had any punishment handed to us as yet, the EFL haven't sought to take action against us for any further issues (yet!) and it's well past the point where it would be reasonable to deduct points - not that they don't want to try it, but it isn't up to them. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofmidnight Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Meanwhile Aston Villa now they are a Premiership club escape their punishment So where is the fairness in that. If we are to be held accountable so should they. In addition to that this must be costing the EFL a hell of a lot of money, I'd love to know how much and who is going to pay for it?

DanS1992 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Just read that Wycombe are considering legaI action (don't know if it is true or not), but I honestly don't know how Wycombe can advocate legal action (if that is the case). I would like to remind them, that they are in the Championship on good fortune alone due to the PPG scenario last season. Slightly hippocritical if you ask me.

angieram Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Okay, from the reporting by more responsible journalists, it seems likely that the EFL have won their appeal, but that any punishment (fine or points deduction) will apply next season. Anyone else think we should just take it on the chin and move on now? I want us to put all this legal crap behind us sooner rather than later. At least we'll know where we stand at the start of next season and can get on with winning some games of football. r_wilcockson, IslandExile, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to remind them, that they are in the Championship on good fortune alone due to the PPG scenario last season. Slightly hippocritical if you ask me. Firstly, I don’t think Wycombe will take any action and if they do, I can’t see how they can win. Secondly, accusing them of hypocrisy isn’t really appropriate. They got lucky (potentially as they may have been promoted anyway) because of a ruling that was enforced on all teams in the division. It was none of their doing. They didn’t seek to break/bend any rules which I assume is what they would be accusing us of. r_wilcockson and mike93rh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what the punishment might be: If it’s slap on the wrist and a relatively small fine then yes, take it and move on. If it’s a points deduction, that’s a different matter and may depend on the number of points. Indy and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need everything sorting (the appeal, Alonso deal or not) as soon as possible so we know the budget (however big or small) as soon as possible to begin the mammoth task of preparing for next season. Will it be harder to attract players and sponsors if we start on -10 and no new owner? Yes but having the time to organise what you can and can't do is so important.

At least we'll know where we stand at the start of next season and can get on with winning some games of football. But it is going to hang over us until we get a decision. Surely the new Manager will want to be clear on how things stand, both in terms of a potential points deduction and transfer budget dependant on the takeover I would think. Also likely to impact on contract negotiations with existing players. All of these issues need to be sorted asap to enable us to move on.....

G-Ram Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Play like we have this season any points deduction will send us down. But just show any sort of midtable form and 6 points shouldnt be an issue. 12 is a different story like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
