CONFIRMED Points deduction to start next season

[Bladesman]

"(d) The 30 Day Rule and transfer embargo placed on the Club had been ineffective incircumstances where the Club had secured promotion to the Premier League."

This seems absolutely fucking insane logic. Oh we punished you for this but it didn't derail your season so we will do it again. How on earth can that be?

The whole sport is a shit show at the minute.

Then they should have given us a 2 point deduction last season then.

 

[Andy67]

It was missed instalments for Brewster that forced us into the temporary embargo wasn't it?

Might as well resign ourselves to losing Blaster in the summer now!

Not paying loan payments that had been due too.

 

[Chengdu Blade]

We are in big trouble.

Care to elaborate?

We expecting further punishment/deductions?

 

[Andy67]

Not paying loan payments that had been due too.

Loan of players payments

 

[s4-blade]

The statement suggests we aren't competing though as we don't have a pot to piss in.

No we arent complaining because we know we’re on a hiding to fuck all trying to challenge the corruption and bollocks. Better to cooperate and get 2 points than to kick off and get 6 or 8

 

[HarryHaslam]

And people thought I was lying to them.

Did you say we were getting a points deduction?

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Sad day. Had always hoped we'd be one of the clubs that wouldn't fall foul of the rules to the point we end up with a points deduction.
Still suspect we'll end up repaying the Dozy money, maybe with interest, so we're not in a great position at all.
Amazing how we've ended up like this with the level of income we've received over the last five years but here we are.

Then they should have given us a 2 point deduction last season then.

The club are entirely to blame for this but stuff like that I can't accept. What the fuck is this? Basically saying unless you have some real detriment from the punishment we are gonna come at you again. That's almost kangaroo court stuff.

 

[s4-blade]

We are in big trouble.

He’s here look, king dickwad of attention seaking made up nonsense. You knew absolutely nothing, stop trying to cling onto this shit.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Told them if they built on the cricket pitch the debt would haunt us

 

[nopigfansintown]

Is there legal precedent for this? Clubs being deducted points for delayed payments? Clubs deducted points for the same thing despite already being punished?
Even then why are the points not deducted this season ? Is it due to the offence taking place in the Championship?

I can't help but wonder how fucked we'd be without promotion last season.

 

[Harry's Game]

So we start next season below Wednesday....

 

[HarryHaslam]

So we start next season below Wednesday....

No the league above them

 

[copernicus1889]

Won't somebody think of the fans?

 

[Rodders]

Looks like we'll finsh on 90 pts then instead.

'We've got the best owner in the world.....and that's what gets results!'

Agree...does lack logic. Surely if before the season starts the punishment is "an embargo", then you can't pick and choose another punishment to suit.

This strikes me as the EFL flexing it's muscles and we're being used as the scapegoat regards their spat with the PL.
The EFL want the PL to end parachute payments and they also want the PL to give them more TV money.

The PL have rightly refused to end parachute payments as it damages the quality of their league
and they've volunteered to give the EFL more money but it's a relatively small increase.
Their argument is......they aren't a charity.....their club make all the money....hardly anyone is interested in the Championship.
So why should the EFL greatly benefit from their success?

 

[alcoblade]

It’s alright complaining about the rules / interpretation of rules between prem and EFL but we shouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.

Just pay the fucking bills on time.

Purely down to miss management of the club. Nothing else.

Which would have meant selling players to cover the bills, and probably not getting promoted last season.

It's as easy as that. Everyone would have been delighted by the good management. No really.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Not paying loan payments that had been due too.

I stll wonder why Khadra wasn't replaced when the manager said he wanted a replacement. Actually I don't

Dozy money came in handy in the short term.

Well I just don't know where they get off punishing the club twice for the same crime so to speak in the space of 2 years.

If we fell foul of the rules last season, admitted to it, took the embargo on the chin and restructured paying what was owed. Then I don't see why they are coming back at us over a year later.

It feels like people have been asking Rifleman to elaborate since God were a lad. It never happens.

*98

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Said this in my post moaning about Everton, Forrest if we’ve broken the rules we have to take it on the chin, which it seems we have but yet again the absolutely shocking mismanagement from our club to not have the fees available to pay as and when they are due.
Irrelevant if the money was meant to be arriving it should have arrived, thankfully it’s only 2 points but to say some clubs don’t even pay wages and get suspended points deduction is ridiculous but we’re where we are

 

[Gimli]

Any chance we could try not being an absolute fucking shambles for once?

 

[Bladesman]

Keep throwing shit at the wall and hope something sticks.

 

[Pedro's Winger]

It did but if the source of it was crooked we might have liability.

 

[Badger Blade]

One solution - don't get relegated!

Because it says , on the return to the championship , I think I read that somewhere, so it'll most likely (will) be next season.

 

[Smirth]

What a mess we are in under this owner.
