They'll come up with some ppg stuff and some will be happy (ie Wycombe-esque) and some won't (can't remember who lost out in League 1)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone with good results against us is out of play off place or relegated (eg peterborough away) as a result of efl taking those points away they wont make a claim now the pandora's box is open? strawhillram, JG400, Zag zig and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, right now though, other clubs can’t see this because it’s not affected them; as you say, end of season though, the implications are huge!

They could easily say this is the standard procedure once a club has exited the league structure i.e., declaring the results null and void is the only course of action to take.

Interesting observation but is it laid out in their rule book or is it another make it up as we go along? Either way, it still opens up the possibility of legal challenges.

It’s for when the transfer window closes, so they can force us to sell, decimate our squad, giving us no chance of escaping, ensuring league 1 football. Once that is done they will allow the takeover! Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea but I think that's what they did to Macclesfield and Bury when they exited the league but I may well be wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro have just proved you can cause a huge stink with legal action. Other clubs have eyes and ears, they will do the same if they think it can further their cause.

A plan that only works if the EFL are complicit. David Graham Brown, Kathcairns and Ramarena 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
