They act in the best interests of Steve Gibson. He's a right member. So I think that they can claim that! ? jono, Dean (hick) Saunders, Steve How Hard? and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the allowable loss was only £5m per season. r_wilcockson and Ghost of Clough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 All this speculation is doing no-one any good. Expect -21 and anything less is a bonus. That’s the top & bottom of it. CBRammette, jono, r_wilcockson and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the top & bottom of it. Which is why it is all the more disgusting that no announcement has been made yet. If John Percy and Alan Nixon both know what the penalty is, if fans from the 91 other clubs in the country know and even my mum knows, then why the hell don't the EFL just put us out of our misery. I still ain't confident we will have an announcement this side of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still ain't confident we will have an announcement this side of January. Fairly certain that it's going to be -21. My guess is the EFL want DCFC to remain competitive in Ch'ship games for as long as possible. Hence the delay in announcing the additional points deduction which effectively ends our season, giving license for Rooney to pick and choose which games we 'turn up' to.

PistoldPete Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 There may be a delay due to agreeing a business plan with Efl which is tricky if you don’t know who the owner will be. Agreeing a punishment has to coincide with new owners taking over. but I think we are close to moving to preferred bidder stage … 48 hours maybe?

The BBC are claiming today or tomorrow so will be tomorrow as the EFL like stringing things out as long as they can because they don't care about the fans, just the money the club's generate for them.
